Nebraska NEVER wanted Beebe. We have discussed this before.
BEEBE hates Nebraska. BEEBE blamed Nebraska for every thing. EVERYTHING. Beebe went out of his way to always say that NEBRASKA was against all of his ideas. On revenue sharing, he ALWAYS says Nebraska, even though TEXAS, OKLAHOMA, and TEXASA&M were all against it.
Now, since you had the 5th down wrong you are also showing that you are making crap up about Nebraska wanting Beebe.
The first Big 12 Commissioner was Steve Hatchell. The Southwest Conference Commissioner that oversaw the destruction of the Southwest Conference. He served the Big 12 until 1998. Nebraska wanted the Big 8 Commissioner, but somehow the vote went 7-5 for Hatchell.
In 1998, Kevin Weiberg became Commissioner. He served until 2007.
IN 2007 Dan Beebe became commissioner. Beebe joined the Big 12 in 2003.
Other candidates were Swarbrick, Britton Banowsky, Wright Waters, Rick Chryst. Nebraska wanted BANOWSKY, because Nebraska already had a problem with Dan Nero Beebe. Banowsky worked for the Big 12 prior to 2002, coincidentally, that was a time frame before Beebe joined the Big 12. Banowsky decided he wanted no part of the Big 12 since he knew he only had Nebraska's support so he removed his name. Banowsky was an Oklahoma grad and his Dad was president of Oklahoma and was part of the Oklahoma Nebraska rivalries in the 1970s and 1980s.
Perlman officially praised the selection of Beebe. Beebe was actually Oklahoma's choice.
I can't remember who Dodds wanted, but it was not Beebe.
