LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Nebraska's membership in the Big Ten Conference is official.
The Big Ten's board of presidents and chancellors unanimously approved adding Nebraska on Friday, just a few hours after the school formally disclosed its interest.
The move is a potentially crippling blow to the Big 12 and the biggest move yet in an offseason overhaul that will leave college sports looking much different by this time next year.
Chancellor Harvey Perlman says the move offers stability "that the Big 12 simply cannot offer." The move becomes official July 1, 2011.
