Teddy Greenstein of the Chicago Tribune wrote a column last night advocating the Big 10 invite three schools, Nebraska, Notre Dame, and Rutgers. He also gave his reasons for leaving Missouri out of the mix.
Greenstein is perhaps the most well connected journalist covering this topic. I am wondering if he doesn't have sources that are telling him Missouri is already out of the mix. I am also wondering if, at this point, the Big 10's plan is to invite Nebraska. Then if and when Notre Dame accepts, they invite Rutgers, as well. If Notre Dame turns them down, they stop at 12.
