Its a matter of time before conferences don't matter for football and basketball. Warren will try to keep things the same to appease the egghead academics, but he is clueless and incompetent. OSU sees the writing on the wall, it's survival of the fittest right now. Nebraska should get on their knees and beg to be follow osu.
 

Love to see a situation where Big Ten and Pac Ten had a crossover agreement. Play 8 conference game with two being out of division and 2-3 against Pac. Division champs would be based strictly off play against your division opponents with tie breaker on how you performed against other division first, then against the PAC crossover. This would eliminate most of the cross division schedule issues we have now where divisions could be decided by who has the easiest crossover schedule. Have a separate TV deal for your games with the PAC split among all schools

If the Big Ten felt Nebraska should play OSU and USC every year we wouldn't care because our end goal is winning West to go to championship game which get you into playoffs. Also weight strength of schedule highly for any at large berths to reward a team who may have an unbalanced schedule one year.

Having that group of 26 teams working together would ensure competitive revenue, national recruiting and a reasonable seat at table for any discussions regardless of what else the SEC does.
 
The B1G should grow a pair and try to one-up the SEC. Get Florida St., Miami, Clemson and ND to join. Nonsense, I know.... but still....
 
Good, at least we get to avoid having to spend day after day after day bitching on various websites about how unfair it is that we have to play them.

I'd be okay with an all B1G and Pac-12 schedule. It ensures that we only play P5 programs and the money will follow and we won't need to expand.

No way, the big 10 is an academic first conference. I see them trying to get stanford, yale (they did win a bunch of natties way back) or duke.
 
Ohio State might be tired of the limitations the big 10 puts on its members the sec and acc don't have. Winning a championship is more difficult in the big 10.
 
I was thinking about this yesterday. There are some serious limitations to adding PAC 12 teams to the BIG. Football would be fine but all of your other sports are going to struggle logistically. It makes more sense to have a formal agreement between the PAC 12 and Big ten to have crossover games in a sort of merged league rather than just a huge conference. With the history of the BIG and PAC in the Rose Bowl it seems a natural fit to leverage the two leagues into an agreement for tv.

SEC and ACC don't have as many limits with oversigning, number of players you can replace, and academics. That's why big 10 sucks in baseball and it also hurts in football & all other sports.

If you can play in the championship you have a chance to win it. In the Big Ten there is a very good chance of getting there. Getting to the championship game as a member of the expanded SEC would be exponentially more difficult to win a title.

end of story

One of these days the Huskers will stop playing the victim card. Nobody likes a crybaby. You forgot to mention scheduling, referees, mean broadcasters, and hand clapping .... the list of grievances and perceived slights is long. Time to STFU and win something.

Why do Huskers fans even care? The program is strong and profitable even if they lose games.

This is comical. Right now the B1G pays out the most to its members - somewhere around $55 million / year or thereabouts. There was a article this weekend that projected that in 2024 the SEC would pay out $90 million to each member if OK and Texas are admitted while the B1G was projected around 8 $80 to 85 million per member - WITHOUT ANY EXPANSION AT ALL. No other conference distributes half as much as those two

Now think of the huge markets in the B1G: Jersey - NY City, Baltimore, D.C., Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Detroit, Chicago, Milwaukee, Indianapolis, Minneapolis..... I'm probably missing one or two more but you get the idea.

The B1G is - and will be for years - a financial giant. Now my question - why in the world would OSU even think of leaving the B1G especially since lately it's guaranteed a spot in the College Playoffs by dominating the conference every year

Because perpetuating rumors generates clicks.

Sir Yacht, for example, probably made enough for himself to buy a couple tickets to Imagine Dragons during the BIG covid flameout. By doing nothing but talking to his bellybutton and quoting whatever it said. "My source says......."

Exactly.. this is what others in the conference already know, and you see the weird expressions on their face as they try to understand why Nebraska was making such a big stink.

Their state's identity is not tied to football, and to most schools in the league, it's a simple a matter of spend as little as possible and collect your B1G checks.

Nebraska just has had a different mindset from a different league.

This is all some kind of weird, end of the world scenario game with all of the "what ifs"

What is most interesting to me is that when Nebraska left the B12, it was seen as a power move, money grab, disliked Texas control, etc, etc, etc. What we are hearing now, and should be a concern is that IF our name even comes up, it isn't in any kind of positive, power situation. In other words. the clout is long gone! Or at least seems to be. No one is knocking on our door or mentioning us in rumors to move, go anywhere else, or start some kind of super league. Do we even have a seat at the table any more or is it more likely under the table, just getting scraps?
