Message: [QUOTE="dayooper, post: 1352952, member: 3859"] Long time WVU coach Don Nehlen was an assistant under Schembechler (QB coach) from 1977-1979. Bo kept close with almost all of his assistants that went on to greater things as well as his players. That being said, I highly doubt that his relationship with Nehlen would lead Michigan to want to bring in WVU into The Big10. The Gee link timeline is off as well. In 1989, he was at the University of Colorado. He didn't become President of OSU (his first tenure) until Sept. 1990. At that time, The Big10 was waiting on Notre Dame. The only way I can see Schembechler trying to find a 12th to go with PSU to block ND. His famous saying "... To H*ll with Notre Dame" might lead him to try and find another, but he knew the value and wouldn't have stood in the way. [/QUOTE]
