ESPN radio mentioned the invites to the four schools this afternoon, but their website has not offered anymore information to confirm it. It will be great to know whether this is true or not.

Exactly!

Really, though, there's no SNIFF of this on ANY major sports news site - which tells me this isn't as "official" as this radio station would have us believe.

But still not the big boys. If there was real substance to this (yet), ESPN, CNNSI, Sportsline, etc would be ALL over it. And not a whisper on ANY of them.

Which tells me that, for now, it's still just rumor and speculation.

Well, yes, multiple other media outlets are carrying the story, but all of them I've seen have referred back to the original radio network, whose sources are, of course, anonymous. Not saying it isn't true, I am saying they're playing this one close to the vest.

Though the SportsCenter following PTI dedicated a whole segment to this exact report.

Here's what this article said about the Big Ten expansion.
Big Ten presidents and chancellors are expected to discuss expansion at meetings in Chicago in June.

How can the Big Ten offer Missouri, Nebraska, Notre Dame, and the Rutgers now IF the presidents and chancellors are discussing this in June???

All this speculation doesn't add up.
