I wonder if Nebraska is thinking it might have been a mistake for joining the big ten.

That conference has a history of beating the living hell out of each other during the season and then going to bowl games and falling flat.

I’d rather have then in the Big 10 than Rutgers, Penn State or Maryland.

Call me old fashioned but I’d rather maintain a geographical continuity to a football conference. But the Big 10 commissioners saw $$$ when they saw they could make inroads in the NYC and DC markets by inviting Maryland and Rutgers.

I went to grad school with the Nebraska Chancellor and was pretty good friends during that time. I remember telling him that Nebraska was making a HUGE mistake when they left the Big 12. They cut their nose off to spite their face because, by God, they hated Texas.

His comeback to me was that Nebraska would benefit in many ways beyond athletics.

Yea, right.
