It is done: NU (Nebraska) to the Big Ten

Why wouldn’t they still play each other?

[Crimson Elephant]

Eh..the Big 12 was forced anyway, Nebraska was tired of following Texas around like a puppy dog. They already lost the Nebraska OU rivalry...so I’m not sure the history argument applies.

Texas wouldn’t budge on their TV demands.

[Raider Sam]

Apparently, Nebraska never liked the idea of a Big 12, and very much didnt like Texas being the powerbroker.

[rwfromkansas]

True.

[rwfromkansas]

Explain, cornholer.

[Raider Sam]

Auburn/Georgia?

That's not it, the Texas and Oklahoma teams were ready to bolt to the Pac 10.

That's not it either. UT and A&M were trying to keep Nebraska in the Big 12. They said if Nebraska goes, the Big 12 is dead. Now the question is, will UT and A&M go west the Pac or east to the SEC? Stallings wants them in the SEC, but UT seems to be set on the Pac.

[Non-Sequitur]

Will the Big 10 now take the name Big 12, hee hee.

Might as well. The current Big 12 will cease to exist in 2 years or so.

It is 1505 miles from Boston College to Univ of Miami (ACC)

[BookmanTheJanitor]

it was an answer to the trivia question asked further up in the thread (longest running consecutive college football rivalry)

[dfwgator]

I could see A&M going to the SEC, it makes sense, they don’t want to be UT’s poor stepchild anymore.

[Old Teufel Hunden]

"The SEC adds Florida State and Miami to create a 14-team conference."

Question, what would these two teams give the SEC? Seems to me that the Gators is Florida's team and the SEC is locked into a mega deal long term TV contract. All this does is split the pie up a little bit more.

[dfwgator]

How many miles between Honolulu and Ruston, Louisiana?

[Old Teufel Hunden]

"Now the question is, will UT and A&M go west the Pac or east to the SEC?"

A more relevant statement is where will Texas go. Because wherever Texas goes A&M is sure to follow like a little brother...

[rwfromkansas]

It is true that Texas was a big problem.

Isn't is Princeton and Rutgers?

It was the first college football game and the first rivalry, but they haven't played each other in football in about 25 years.

[stevestras]

“Explain, cornholer.”

I believe cornholer means anal sex.

Are you saying that about Nebraska?

If so, is there any doubt why Nebraskans don’t like you people.

[dfwgator]

Question, what would these two teams give the SEC?

Nothing.

[dead]

It’s just like National Signing Day, with teams instead of players.

Exactly. I'm all a-tingle!
