Wow. College administrators make sports program decisions based on
money?
Snarkiness aside, I think its fantastic for both Nebraska and the Big 10(11) to have the Huskers join. I predict this will be a done deal by the end of the week. About double the conference revenue to NU, and a longstanding football tradition with a national fan base, added to the Big 10.
The old Big 8 conference was ruined by the forced marriage of convenience that added the 4 Texas schools to form the Big 12 when the Southwest Conference imploded. It was never a natural fit, and destined to fail. That said, I do empathize with the schools that may be left in the wake, such as KU, KSU and ISU.
Good riddance to the Big 12.
