A great article detailing NU's departure: Go(ne) Big Red
Apparently, Perlman, Osborne and Delany took extreme measures for their secret meeting one week before the Big 12 Conference meeting:
"To this day, Perlman, Osborne and Delany won't say where they met on May 25.
Perlman will describe it only as “a very remote private location'' far from both Big Ten country and Nebraska. It's a secret, Perlman said, because the Big Ten may use it for future business.
They went to considerable lengths to keep the meeting under wraps.
Because Osborne is a well-known figure who tends to attract attention, it was agreed he and the chancellor would fly separately. Perlman was joined by Joel Pedersen, the university's general counsel. Few on any of their staffs knew the reason for their travel.
After staying overnight in a city and eating breakfast separately to preserve their low profile, Perlman and Osborne received cell calls summoning them to meet a car outside. They then rode to a rural location about an hour outside the city.
They were greeted by Delany, Big Ten Deputy Commissioner Brad Traviolia and the conference's legal counsel.
Perlman said Delany reiterated that “this shouldn't be regarded as any more than sitting down for a chat.'' He was holding similar meetings with other schools."
