@JonRothstein: Villanova will host Nebraska as part of the Big East-Big Ten Challenge, source told @CBSSports. Dates expected to be announced this week..
Icky match up as will do little to move the ratings needle.

Ummmmmm, odd choice. Who makes the matchups, the two conferences jointly?
Wow... That is underwhelming... Talk about a huge missed opportunity by both conferences.

So we can expect DePaul and Maryland to be announced soon I guess........
very odd, but now I'm even more intrigued to see who we play knowing now that it's not geographically driven
I hope the B10 isn't using this as a way to give marquee opponents to schools that play lesser opponents in the ACC challenge. If the six B10 schools that don't participate are UW, MSU, OSU, Maryland, Michigan and Indiana (or something similar), I will be very disappointed.
I do not believe that MSU is participating in it this year.
