Nubs up, but they forever are allowed to be made fun for being bitches about it and must write a letter to the Big 12 telling them they were massive dork losers for leaving the Big 12.

They were talking about it on the Manhattan  AM radio sports talk show.Sounds like Trotter and others have written about it after Boren said the B12 should get back to 12 members

Nubs will never tuck tail and crawl back. They think they're too good for us.

As much as they want to come back there's no way I take them. They're trash and we have plenty of better options.

Nebraska's football program may never regain its former glory, but the academic side is already reaping the financial benefits of being in the CIC. It would never happen, but if K-State was invited to the Big Ten, we would say yes. In a heartbeat, no questions asked. Nebraska would NEVER consider leaving the Big Ten.

I have no rough ridin' desire to be in the big 10. In fact if the big 12 fell apart and somehow we had a standing offer from every conference, I would take almost any major conference over them except maybe the acc. The acc is pretty disgusting.

The 12 should go hard after Nebraska and Colorado. eff it, get them back and it'd be boner time for this old cat.

(not rational thinking, just live in Denver and miss Boulder games and the old 12 and the good old days and go cats.)

CU is never happening. NU could because their fans hate the Big 10 and pine for olden days when they were good (which happened to be in the Big 8/12).

We could get CSU. They'd be just as good as CU, anyway.

Yes.  No brainer.

I think it is a possibility, but not under the current NU administration.

who are you talking about when you say "current NU administration"?

because hank bounds was just hired and I don't know what you would know about his preference for the big 10 over the big 12 (other than it being a more highly respected and lucrative academic situation for them which he and any other president ever hired would believe) and harvey perlman would have literally zero say in the matter one way or the other and he's retiring anyway. like, did you just decide that was probably something that was the case and say it?

If NU asks, we should stall and use that as a way to convince MU to come back, then deny NU.  Then we use MU coming back, and our status as someone too elite to let a big 10 school in our conf, and use that to sell Arky to come in.

I went to a wedding a couple of weeks ago where the groom was an NU grad, and his buds were all hard-core Nub fans.  They never once mentioned a desire to return to the Big 12, I expected they would.

Would not take Pac. 9pm kickoff times would be awful after a while

"Hi Nebraska, welcome (back, lol) the Big 12.  Please exchange contact info with your division mates Texas, Iowa St., Kansas, Texas Tech, and TCU."

Would barely play in Pacific time zone in that scenario. But games u might barely care about would be late. Bottom line is we actually have something pretty great and makes sense. Dunno why anyone would want to go somewhere else.

The CIC talking point may be the most overrated talking point in conference realignment history.

I think so too.

The real truth is that once the playoffs expand and major conference champions get auto bids, and we all know it will, our conference will be the best one to be in. If Boren wasn't a dumb crap, he'd know to just wait until then and we'll be in a pretty good spot to invite other major conference schools.

 Need old members of board gone, too.  Plus, Dr. Tom is still alive.  (I will grant that "administration" probably wasn't the most precise word choice.)

What makes you say that? Ours is probably the hardest to win, but I guess expansion would make it easier.

Should be easier to win a 12 team league than a 14 team league. Because math (and tangential reasons like only 2 historical powers)

When you are the Big 10, and those 14 teams include Rutgers, Maryland, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Northwestern, Purdue, and Minnesota, it's not. That would be like playing Iowa State 4-5 times every year.

And outside of maybe Nebraska, who from that conference would consider leaving and that we would want? Answer: nobody because those teams aren't who our targets would be.  LSU would probably still tell us to eff off but they would pause before doing so for reasons I've outlined.
