Some cursing the Big10 over on the Husker boreds after

Big will not let them replace Wisconsin with Chattanooga on Saturday. Think they miss the Big 12 about right now?

NEB is a bad fit for the B1G....its a shame Texas has to screw it up for everyone. They should be in the Big 12....much like ARK and MIZZ.

Texas is a much more valuable brand than any other school in the Big 12. Sure it was selfish of them to launch their own TV network, but it’s not their responsibility to provide welfare checks to the other big 12 members like Bama does to UofScar.

Nebraska had their feelings hurt and made a poor decision to leave the Big 12 and Texas recruiting behind to chase the money in the B1G. Now, they are stuck in irrelevancy for the foreseeable future.

Nebraska is the Kansas State of the Big Ten. And I'm not talking about today's Kansas State. I am talking the one when Nebraska was in the Big Eight and which could never have dreamed of beating Nebraska. Just as today's Nebraska would get pounded by Kansas State.

your post is true but the Longhorn Network hasnt seemed to help them a bit. To me that is very curious

The LHN has delivered exactly what it promised UT: Revenue. It doesn't matter the network itself was a pathetic overreach and nobody actually watches or gives a care about it.

Texas has huge money but they also have Terminal Entitlement Disease. You can’t buy your way out of Terminal Entitlement Disease. The only way out is culture change and hard work. Culture change and hard work are the very last two things that entitled people are interested in trying.

Nebraska would be just as irrelevant in the Big 12 as the B1G. The main difference is they get an indefinite boatload of money from the B1G while the Big 12 languishes.

The fact is national recruiting has made Nebraska a middling football program, at best. The glory days are long gone and will never return. NU wouldn't even be 3rd best behind UT and OU if they stayed.

I think they miss the Big8 and the days before the forward pass. Maybe they need to give ol' PCJ a call.

This is the one issue with the "expansion" conferences. You have definite losers in the shuffle and Nebraska is one.

You used to have between 7-10 team vying for a title in 7-10 conferences.... thus you had more teams getting bigger pies of hardware. BigEast's 7 teams, B10/11, SWC, ACC, SEC, PAC, WAC, PLUS a independent list that would rival todays modern conferences. Basically, you now have 11-14 teams in 5 conferences vying for a title and while "divisional" titles are all well and nice, they really don't county as much.

Which I do find the old independents kinda fun. It was a Natty or else so Ped State, Pitt, Miami, and ND were focused, the coots were just cashing that non-participation check and calling it a day.
