(Neb.)-Iowa Senator Says Nebraska Needs To Say No to Big 12 Realignment

By: Chad Franzen Posted at: 06/10/2010 09:37 AM

Rumors abound that the University of Nebraska may soon join the Big Ten Conference which could spell the beginning of the end for the Big 12. Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley says he's looking at ways to prevent or delay conference realignment, but fellow Iowa Senator Tom Harkin isn't sure this issue is something federal lawmakers should referee.

Chuckles, my man,
Your party is the one that says hands off stuff like this. Read your bible from beck.
You may want to shut your mouth until election day.

U.S. Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa said Wednesday that he and other federal lawmakers from states likely to be adversely impacted by wholesale athletic conference realignment will look at ways to delay or prevent it.

Speculation continues to swirl about the status of the Big 12 Conference as talk of impending expansion in the Big Ten and Pac-10 looms.

Grassley, a Republican, said options could range from asking the U.S. Department of Justice to conduct a review of whether the changes violate federal anti-trust laws — something U.S. Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), the ranking member of the Senate anti-trust committee, brought up Wednesday.

2. Colorado already left the Big 12 - so the conference is Kaput already.

Wouln't it be nice if he cared as much about Maytag jobs going to Mexico or something.

3. Ah who cares about Maytag?

After all, they were only $20.00/hr. jobs with good benefits. Why should grassley care about any of those people when there is important business at hand like college football? Or death panels? Grassley and his partner from Iowa 5, Mr. King, need to just stfu and go away.
We are going to have to bust ass to get Conlin elected so that the shame that is grassley will be gone once and for all.
