As I recall, he had Nebraska AFTER the signs were already there that Nebraska was interested - which so many forget was back in the middle of February 2010 when UNL publicly said they would consider the Big Ten if they called.

The most famous of his posts was, I believe, the one where he talked about a meeting somewhere (I think it was at last year's AAU Spring conference but not positive)  where Delany supposedly presented his overall plan to the Big Ten presidents of getting ND, Texas, and Nebraska into the league.  And supposedly this was so "spot on" that it was investigated by the Big Ten office since they tried to determine where the "leak" was.

What others don't seem to want to recall is that he also posted earlier in the process that Mizzou was "the key" to getting ND.  Which was laughable at the time.

As for this current info, considering UT's stance on the LHN so far, this latest one doesn't look to be anywhere near accurate.  But who truly knows?  There were absolutely no "leaks" about the ACC taking SU and Pitt until the Friday before it happened that I noticed.

Regarding Nebraska being the "best fit" for the Big Ten, just as FrankTheTank was one of the first I can recall to outline why UT could be a major target for Big Ten expansion prior to it actually happening, Ivan Maisel was pushing for Nebraska to the Big Ten as far back as 1999 when everyone else thought it was ND or no one.
