Nobody seriously thought they were leaving the Big 10 but that statement doesn't say they aren't looking to play this fall either. I would bet money Nebraska and the Big 12 are having talks behind the scenes.

The statement is pretty clear that they have fallen in line and aren't going to play this fall.

The only thing that is clear is that they are a committed member of the B1G. It doesn’t address playing in the fall at all.

0% chance it happens. If you are so confident, I'll put up a wager with you.

I think it is below 50% it happens but I'm betting the talks are happening to see what it would look like and how it could be accomplished. They would be stupid not to investigate.

You're just banking on it won't happen so reading things into messages that aren't there.

No talks are happening. If Nebraska tries to play a schedule in the fall, they won't be in the B1G.

Nebraska isn't leaving, they are having a tantrum as usual when they don't get their way. They aren't the pull they think they are.

While I agree that he didn't directly say that they wouldn't still try to play, I think he was saying that indirectly.

This has been going on for a few days. My guess would be that Nebraska's lawyers have been scouring the B1G's by laws looking for any out/loophole they could find to try to make it happen and were unsuccessful.

I hope I'm wrong and you're right. But I think that's what has happened.

I'm four pages late to this so not sure if someone has mentioned this, but...

This is a case of "you're not quitting, you're FIRED!"

LOL @ the Big Ten. :L <--- Good grief, I just need to put that as my signature.
