Big 12 Expansion: It's Down to BYU, Houston, and Cincinnati

[HuskerinBig10]

That's the company line but the Big12 gets a boatload more money by adding teams, what if they offer the lions share of that money to a NU to come back to their roots?

Again, on the surface I agree with you but... Maybe somebody gets creative.

BIG revenue rise or drop with NU gone?

why Nebraska will not go back to the Big 12

1. The BTN
a. Nebraska is set to own their fair share of the BTN in 2017
b. The BTN is actually distributing profits to teams, that is on top of the other monies
2. CIC Nebraska is starting to see benefits from the collaboration of working with the other schools that garner over 45% of all Federal Monies for research dollars.
3. As Oaknights stated, there is ZERO guarantee of stability. None. Zip. Zilch. Oklahoma is constantly unhappy with the status quo in the Big 12. Nebraska already knows what type of shenanigans are played by Texas. Have you gone back to a girlfriend or wife that you had an extremely terrible relationship with? I have not, because I think that would be stupid.
4. The Big 10 will be bringing in roughly $53,000,000 per team with the new contract. Purdue, Illinois, and Northwestern are very happy with that dollar. Nebraska has been profitable a looooonnnnnggggggg time, so the extra money is icing on the cake.
5. Geography Nebraska fits better into the B1G with the states up north having winter. The Big 12 does not like winter states.
6. The Big 12 Conference still seems to favor one state over the others.
7. Texas is still in the Big 12.

yeah I figured you guys got tired of losing all the time

They're not faring any better in the B1G, although they are a higher paid Ho now.....

 

[oaknightshockey1]

Yes, because the Big 12 is so much stronger...especially when you guys get around to adding Cincinnati and UCF

I was speaking how Texas owned you guys on the field, but good luck with Minnesota

Yes, because conference decisions should be based upon our record in a decade stretch vs. one team that we don't even play every year

I don't blame Nebraska for leaving the Big 12. Why be a low paid bitch in the Big 12 when you can be a higher paid bitch in the B1G?

Your inability to ever come up with anything new is tiring.

You listed Texas as a reason you wouldn't come back to the big 12 dummy.

Might want to check that...I did not.

oh wrong husker. The other husker did, hence my comment.

I would personally have no problem being in a league with Texas again. My ideal situation is the B1G goes to 16 with OU and UT. Who wouldn't get pumped for an NU/OU or NU/UT game?

IF the Big 12 blows up, I want to head West....

 

[dennis580]

I don't know who the 12th school should be, but the 11th school should be BYU they have a true national fan base, and no other school offers anything close to that.

Yes sir, BYU to me is the no brainer.

Here is your opportunity to tell us all why Texas is just a great conference mate.

Convince me.

 

[mutiger]

It has to be Missouri and Colorado.

Nope.....Mizzou is very happy in the SEC

 

[mutiger]

Still can't believe Big 12 took West Virginia over Louisville

BYU and Cincy if they only take 2 should be the choices.

Add Memphis and Colorado St. if they go 4.

Big 12 should be worried about Big or SEC stealing a couple of teams now. SEC could go after OU now and go ahead and get to 16 by adding another

 

[lilchi721]

I hear the politicians at the State Capitol are lobbying for Houston to join the Big 12 right now
