I'm glad Nebraska's in the Big 10 and left when they did. Given the way college football is going, there's no guarantee that Nebraska would've had the option to join the Big 10 or SEC if they had similar results as they've had since joining the conference. At least now, Nebraska's locked into one of the two conferences that will for sure be around when the expansion craze continues. Nebraska won't be left behind and will have just as many resources as other schools in the conference to get better and compete for titles. Will it be more difficult? Sure, it will. But in the end, if you don't want to play the best, then why play at all?
You're going to have to beat great teams to win a title anyway so get good. The right coach can win anywhere so let's save the loser mentality that Nebraska will never win anything ever again.
