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.

I suspect that the biggest takeaway we will have when this COVID stuff is all over is that Nebraska talked a lot, but ultimately had to just shut up and take it.

Being a Kstate fan I agree with this 100%. They beat up on Kstate and the other Big8 schools (minus OU) for 60+ years, just pummeling our faces in while smiling about what great fans they are. When Kstate finally started beating NU consistently (5-2 from 98-04) they couldn't take it and fired Solich which started their downward spiral to where they are now. Then they left us and their 100+ year history with the Big8 schools to prove they were still relevant.

I would have loved nothing more than to have spent the last 10 years jumping up and down on their dying corpse as corn kernels shot from their mouth like BB's.

I want them back in the Big12 for that reason alone, to kick them while they are down until there is no more leather left on my shoes.

Do I think that Nebraska would result in the conference getting an additional $30 million per year in revenue, no I don't. Not anymore than anyone else in the Big 10 west, except maybe Wisconsin. They have a great combination of football relevance and television subscribers.

Wisconsin is definitely miles closer to what Nebraska was in the 90's than Nebraska is now.

Nebraska is potentially available, Wisconsin isn't.

Isn’t this the second or third time Nebraska has had to make a statement like this since joining the big10?

They should be very embarrassed by this most recent statement.  Everyone knows that it's definitely a "OK, I'm sorry, I'll shut and do what I am told" statement.

It just confirms what every logically thinking human has ever thought. Nebraska is whipped and will never get to leave the big 10 10 til they get their act together.

There is nothing NU fans want more than Scott Frost to be the guy to turn it around, the thing is he won't

100%, they proved to be the baby backed bitches they have always been. Prima donnas. They think the world revolves around their has been football program and get incensed any time things don't go their way.

Maybe they should try and be ND and just go Independent. Sure they will make no money since the only people who will watch is the state of Nebraska and they will fall even further into obscurity, but hey, at least they won't have Texas, Michigan, tOSU, Penn St. et al telling them they are just another cog in the wheel.

Iowa did this last week, of course Nebraska is behind one of their rivals. I don't want to be overly harsh to these parents but are they dumbfucks or what? Don't they realize these letters need to be going to their university presidents? Do they really think the commissioner of the conference made this decision without the will of his board of governors?

The UP's don't want to take that blame! They might have told the parents to go to the league!

These parents want to be mad enough to write letters telling people how do to their jobs should at least know who to be mad at. Hard to take them seriously as knowing anything when they can't even get that right. How often was it reported that they voted and Nebraska and Iowa were the only dissenting votes? Did they think Kevin Warren was like playing dolls and voted himself 14 times?

It's the same bullshit with people blaming Mark Emmert and the NCAA. They haven't had control over FBS football in our lifetime.
