Musing and ruminations on life, the universe, everything
(Update: 12:08pm PDT) According to the Austin American Statesman, it was the Big 12 presidents who delievered this ultimatum to Nebraska and Missouri.

Located in Williamsburg, Virginia, the College of William & Mary is the second oldest institution of higher education in this country (after Harvard). Its undergraduate program is consistently ranked in the top ten nationally.Until 1977, the athletics teams were known as the Indians. In 1978, the school changed the name to the less offensive Tribe,... Continue Reading →
