My problem with the B1G leadership is lack of transparency and good reasoning behind their decisions. I have no problem with Wisconsin backing out of the game due to an outbreak. What I don't understand is why Nebraska cannot replace them with an out of conference opponent. What harm does that cause the Big 10? Playing games are a benefit. It's tv revenue and exposure. The only thing I have seen suggested is that they say out of conference opponents do not have stringent enough testing. That's baloney. They tested and they are fine. It's a one time event. It can't be that. The only thing I can think of is that they are being petty and their egos were insulted. They are striking back at Nebraska for the players lawsuit and the pushback by our administration back in August. Shame on the B1G.
Honestly that attitude really makes me mad. Just what is wrong with wanting players to be able to play games when they worked and practiced so hard? I'm very proud of the coach and school who always fights for the players above all else. Players ALWAYS come before conference in my book! I hope recruits are taking notice of who really cares about players.https://www.si.com/college/2020/10/30/nebraska-defies-big-ten-rules-coronavirus-again
Nebraska is in its 10th season as a member of the Big Ten Conference. It has played 78 league games since relocating from the Big 12 (losing 38 of them). And yet the school continues to act like it has no idea how to be a cohesive member.
Are the Cornhuskers slow learners, tone deaf, willfully belligerent or still clinging to an outdated sense of blueblood entitlement?
I agree you're right. I was just saying from the outside perspective it was a double whammy of firing a very successful coach and the AD sounding like an arrogant, clueless dipshit.That was the excuse used of why he was fired, but not the true reason.
the b1g is merely reaping what they'd sowed by acting like high-and-mighty, holier than thou, pompous, arrogant douchebags and cancelling the season in the first place.The Big Ten needs scrutinized for not doing the most common sense thing; scheduling crossover games later and only counting intra-division games to crown division champs. If they would have done that, then this matchup could have been swapped with a cross over game and played later in the year.
Come December, Warren's contract needs terminating.The Big Ten needs scrutinized for not doing the most common sense thing; scheduling crossover games later and only counting intra-division games to crown division champs.

True, but with seven teams per division, crossover games have to be scheduled every week in a bye-less schedule. They had a perfectly fine 10-game schedule laid out (with Nebraska playing OSU, PSU, MSU and Rutgers — balanced slate) and two bye weeks. But ... well, you know.The Big Ten needs scrutinized for not doing the most common sense thing; scheduling crossover games later and only counting intra-division games to crown division champs.

All great questions.Nebraska’s lack of success in the league should have no bearing on this at all. It’s a stupid take from Forde. I’ll ask the same question I did back in August...why is the Big Ten so afraid of Nebraska wanting to play football games? Why is that wrong? Why are “fans” of other schools so quick to simply shrug their shoulders and walk away with their tail between their legs rather than ask perfectly legitimate questions?
Why is Nebraska so threatening?

I'm just glad you guys stole our spot in the B1G.And we can’t win games if we can’t play games..
SEC mandated byes the B1G Botched the whole thing.
Take a lap..

I'm just glad you guys stole our spot in the B1G.
I forgive you guys for the kicked ball now.
The SEC has been incredible
What is embarrassing is the commissioner’s prompt dismissal of every suggestion coming from our athletic department. They look like complete fools making rash judgements based upon false information and then backtracking. Not they are going to change the 21 day quarantine. They wouldn’t do it if the push back had only come from Nebraska, even if it is clearly the right call.Its embarrassing. How many times does UNL have to be told that rogue outside conference games are not allowed? It's like seeing parents with an ill-mannered child running around and raising hell. B10 = Parents. Ill-mannered child = Nebraska.
If the crossover games were scheduled later, it lessens the chance that the NU/tOSU and NU/ PSU games occur.The Big Ten needs scrutinized for not doing the most common sense thing; scheduling crossover games later and only counting intra-division games to crown division champs.

What did we do to Pat Forde, was there some moment that triggered this?

this year will be over in another month. and forgotten when next year begins. neb will be looking pretty good next year. take a deep breath and look long term.How’s the “Meth Mouths” down there? Still good for a gummer or two?
Watch the game again in 1997 and there was a play a Mizzou player kicked the ball in the air and was intercepted by the Tigers no one remembers that play because it was earlier in the game..
How many times does a program need to be told child molestation is not okay? Apparently more than 1 time. But continue on about a football program wanting to play football games.Its embarrassing. How many times does UNL have to be told that rogue outside conference games are not allowed? It's like seeing parents with an ill-mannered child running around and raising hell. B10 = Parents. Ill-mannered child = Nebraska.
They didn't go rogue, they went through the Big10 the whole way. The Big10 is such a garbage conference that they have no contingency plans.Its embarrassing.

Every time Forde opens his mouth, the world becomes a little dumber.Because Forde was a flute player in the band. He wouldn’t understand the want to play football.
In my opinion they needed to start the season no later than Oct 2/3 and allow for byes incase there were some postponements which they knew would happen like the other conference did...
What gets me is Wisconsin allowed Mertz to play in that first game knowing he was positive for COVID-19 and if they cared so much about the players playing in the Nebraska game, why didn’t they care to have Mertz not play in the Illini game?
I’m talking once they finally rebooted the season. Oct. 2/3 wasn’t possible at the time they re-voted. The 23rd and 24th was the only option at that point. I’m taking hindsight out of my opinion. We all know the conference should have never changed the schedule once the 10 game schedule was announced.True, but with seven teams per division, crossover games have to be scheduled every week in a bye-less schedule. They had a perfectly fine 10-game schedule laid out (with Nebraska playing OSU, PSU, MSU and Rutgers — balanced slate) and two bye weeks. But ... well, you know.
Correct. In my scenario, those games aren’t as important as rescheduling the Wisconsin game.If the crossover games were scheduled later, it lessens the chance that the NU/tOSU and NU/ PSU games occur.

Though historically we're a much better program, this serves as a good parallel. It's depressing. On the one hand I get defensive with articles like these because the columnists, most of whom absolutely do remember when Nebraska was top dog, seem to revel in our struggles. They write how Nebraska will never be good again, and it should accept the game has evolved beyond its grasp. On the other hand, sports journalism is all editorializing, and besides what has Nebraska done to deserve more favorable coverage? Even when we were awesome we got crap coverage. Bottom line, the national media will always describe Nebraska with tired cliches.Most people do not even remember when we were relevant. It has been 23 years...for perspective this is similar to PITT wanting to be respected in 1999 because they won a championship in 1976...nobody cared about Pitt in 1999.
