Do you think the conference would be in a better or worse position to negotiate TV deals if Nebraska was back in the BigXII?
If they were to come back, the conference would be stronger and stand to generate more revenue because ESPN and Fox know that Nubs vs OU, UT, and even KSU will generate more TV dollars than Nubs vs Northwestern, Rutgers, or Maryland. If you kick the trash in Waco to the curb and bring them in, you get those old Big8 match ups every year instead of the few marque games happening once every other year in the big 10.
I don't think it'll happen, but everyone would be better off if they came back instead of staying put.
