They're complaining to make sure Texas is the bad guy since their fan base had to be looking forward to Texas coming to whatever stadium UM plays in in 2015.
Just because it's been done, or even not totally 'illegal' to do it doesn't make it right.
Texas is the bad guy here, and I'm not sure how you can spin it any other way.

I didn't say they weren't. My point is that the reaction on Minnesota's part is a bit much for something that's very common and doesn't hurt their ability to schedule since it's half a decade away.

We may not travel as well, but we are a much better looking group in the Pac 10/12, so you'll be happier to see us.

You're a PAC 12er now?
I am a part-time student at ASU and since I never actually went to Illinois, I can't really consider myself a Big 10'er.
