It must be an awful feeling. You know he really believe he could resurrect his alma mater’s rotting corpse. He was incorrect.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

The worst part of Nebraska leaving for the big10 is that we haven't been able to whoop their ass the last 10 years. I think we would of gone AT LEAST 6-4 vs them over the last 10 years, would of felt great and nub fans would be shook to the core. Imagine Nub fans on a 4 game losing streak to KANSAS STATE.

Instead they just keep losing to Illinois and Minnesota who have no historical significance.

Convenient for them to just fade into Bolivian.

Do you think their pride will ever allow them to ask to rejoin the Big XII? I doubt it, but it's still fun to think about.

No one is going to leave the big 10 or SEC, they are now the premier conferences.

I'll be honest, I did too (to an extent).

I was very jealous of the hire when it happened.

If the SEC starts getting a shitload more money? why wouldn't they consider it?

I'm not sure that's correct. My impression was that the SEC was already catching up to the Big 10 before adding Texas and OU.

Even if the SEC exceeds the Big 10 in payouts, it won't be close to enough to make up for the cultural differences. Those Big 10 schools take the cultural and academic components of their conference seriously, as they should. Their conference, more than any other, uses their conference affiliation for more than just football.

Also the Big 10 knows full well, and they are correct in knowing, that they are the best conference in America. The SEC has had a 15 year run as the best football conference. Michigan has been playing football longer than every SEC school and are historically better than all but one of those schools. There is literally no incentive for Ohio State and Michigan to go anywhere.

Why would the academic and research affiliations they have with the Big 10 schools go away if those schools left the Big 10? Is that what you're asking?

I had forgotten they are taking on a charity case in KU so the number may go down significantly
