Can Nebraska get kicked out of the Big?

Yes. I assumed you were severely inebriated at the time rather than just plain crazy and was seeking clarification
A major reason why UNL was removed from the AAU was because UNMC was not physically integrated into the UNL campus, which is idiotic considering the med center's international rep as a liver transplant center and one of the top three epidemiological centers in the US, if not the world.
Another thing that hurt NU with the AAU is the weight placed on tenured professors. UNL was one of the lowest, if not THE lowest tenured faculty schools in the AAU. AAU sees a lot of tenure as a good thing because it indicate at mature and active faculty. I was an adjunct professor for a few years at UNO and have a different take on tenure; so many faculty were good teachers and solid researchers but a number were just slugs and daring anyone to try to get rid of them.
We could but we won't.
I'd be fine in the SEC, its a great football conference, but its overall better for the state to be in the B1G as an all around conference. The university has so much impact on the economics of the state outside of the bars we frequent a few Saturdays a year.

People always want to draw political lines in this debate but the fact of the matter is that Omaha went for Biden and Obama a couple of times now, so I'm not going to claim Nebraska is this great progressive mecca, but its clearly not as super hard right as some would want/claim it to be.
Lincoln isn't far behind and is in some ways more progressive because of the Uni presence among other reasons. When people are talking about the "state identity" and "political fit" in the B1G we're talking about a relative handful of rural areas that aren't politically in line with the Uni they support, a good many of the people in the stands around them, or even a significant chunk of the players they cheer for before we even begin talking about some far off conference office.

Can't see Nebraska getting kicked out of the big ten soon, but I could see the Cornhuskers football team getting left out of the next mutation of what used to be an amateur sport at a university.
I could see a scenario where the most desirable and powerful out of the big ten and sec leave to start their own league. I could see more universities getting uncomfortable with a game like football and all the safety hazards it exposes to "kids".
The Cornhuskers football team needs to get their program moving again because, regardless of the achievements of the University of Nebraska's academics, football is what has got them to the viable position they are at now and times they are still a changing.
There's still time for the University of Nebraska to get back into the AAU. Technicalities and arbitrary biases and all.

This assumes static football performance. While NU has a sorry track record since coming into the B1G, it's kinda lazy to assume they CAN'T get better.
I agree. Nebraska should hire Hugh Freeze if Scott Frost fails to launch this year.
Frost Freeze? Ok, that's kinda funny right there.
Yeah it would be pretty coolFrost Freeze? Ok, that's kinda funny right there.
Go away.
Most will never miss you.
You just do not know when to shut your nasty mouth.
Trust me, I do not have shit for brains. The way you rant and rave, get banned, suck up to get back just to do it again…..
I suggest you are the one with shit for brains.
Interesting you use the words "progressive" and "hard right". Why can't you just say "liberal" and "conservative"?
Your last sentence had 66 words and was basically incomprehensible.
I don't normally attack people about their posts, but I have enjoyed reading yours for a number of years. Your posts have always been straight forward and spot on whether I agreed with them or not. Are you doing OK?
it does seem like it will cave in on it'self eventually...the brainscar/liability/lawyer greed I figure will kill it before network greed
I’m sure the players that played under Sandusky, we’re not so ecstatic. Maybe they trade it for the rankings, probably not. Sounds like u wood

Believe me, I'd rather have Nebraska not have another winning season for the rest of my life than have anything like the Sandusky scandal staining NU. I simply said that football wise, it sure seems like Penn State was able to bounce back from that practically scot-free very quickly. Penn State certainly deserved a far more penal outcome than what they got, but the NCAA no longer has any real teeth - IMO, the program should have been crippled to the point that no coach anywhere near the level of a James Franklin would have touched the job for at least 10 years.
We will never be safe in the B1G until we have a huge sexual abuse coverup.
I don’t use tv ratings as a guide, nor should anybody else
has there ever been a less accurate metric thrown around in an attempt to measure anything?
Was coming to say the same thing. The data isn't always there and there are a million other factors that play into it.
The offense was not fine under Bill Callahan most of the time.
His first season it wasn't because Joe Dailey threw more interceptions than TD's. When Zach Taylor was QB, the offense was impressive.
Callahan would never been fired if he would have fixed his defense
Like the subjective personal opinions of random people in Who-Cares-Where, Nebraska!!
we are keeping the me and lexi sun thing under wraps...she just got a lil too passionate...but I refuse to press charges..I'm a forgiving type
your presence here would suggest you care - perhaps not for the location but certainly for the personal opinions - a lot.
being faced with this simple fact is usually very hard for iowa fans who have been fully cucked by Nebraska Football for their entire lives.
I hear there's a place filled with fellow cucks where you can go for help - a place called hawkeye report?
Kansas, Oregon, Washington, Colorado, North Carolina, Miami. Kansas, Washington and Oregon already reached out. So yeah you could go back to a Big 12, then the conference could get picked apart and you would be left with the other programs left behind.
As someone who travels around the country for work...The 3 most national fan bases are Ohio State, Michigan, and Nebraska. Penn St is a distant 4th, then another big drop to the rest of the B1g
Pennsylvania is a pro sports state. All about the Steelers and Eagles. Neb football is the only game in town in Nebraska. And it’s national fan base are loyal as hell.
The only outlier in the Big Ten that could get kicked if ND joins is Northwestern.
The Big Ten isn't eliminating any teams, including Northwestern.
Vanderbilt and Mississippi State are safe in the SEC too!
