Husker hello: Jim Delany Q&A

What does this day mean for you, as a culmination of all the work you and the league did on expansion?

JD: It's been a busy year for them, planning and getting ready to come in. And it's been busy for us, planning and getting ready for them to come in. I think our integration meetings have really worked well, whether it's our staff and their staff meeting, or them attending our conference meetings at all levels -- presidential, faculty, coaches, ADs. It's been pretty seamless. They didn't have a vote, but they've participated and spoken up and we wanted to know their opinions. So I think we're ready.

I think one year is necessary, but I don't think more than a year helps very much, to be a lame duck. I think it's going to be great.
