The University of Nebraska issued the following statement Wednesday evening concerning media reports that Nebraska has been formally offered, and accepted an invitation, to join the Big 10 Conference:

A report being circulated this afternoon among sports media stating that the University of Nebraska Board of Regents "met informally" today and have "agreed to move to the Big Ten" is not accurate. Members of the Board's executive committee met via conference call to discuss the agenda for Friday's meeting. Such meetings routinely take place prior to Board meetings. At its meeting on Friday, the Board will be briefed on UNL athletic conference alignment and consider a resolution. No action wastaken during today's conference call, and none will be taken prior to Friday's meeting.
