A wee bit of an “Apples to Oranges” comparison since we play far more divisional games....twice the number.
But your point is valid.....
I don’t think anyone will ever disagree....we simply need to play better to eliminate much of the frustration and distrust.
And Frost himself has said how surprised he was at how scheduling ACTUALLY occurs in the BiG....with a heavy emphasis on trying to schedule games that will draw more television revenue.
I guess, given our current state, we should be proud that Nebraska is still considered a ”big ticket” game.
I never complained about the schedule this year....I saw it as a wonderful opportunity in a thow away year.
what I cannot abide/understand is why the conference seems so bent on committing financial Hara Kiri this year instead of approaching this with flexibility and adaptability. Oh I don’t know...like other conferences are doing.
I get Wisconsi’s cancellation. I understand it and their reasoning even though I think MANY factors involved and you think it was just covid... I feel it was a foregone conclusion from the start but in the end....no problem. I pray that the Wisconsin kids, coaches and families get a handle on this quickly and they all wind up with the lesser version of the disease...as I do for ANYONE!
But for the conference to prohibit a fill-in game with a clean team that has tougher protocols than the big....who’s athletic department NEEDS the money and who is willing to jump through hoops to come to Lincoln and play, in a game that affects other BiG schools not at all and completely destroys ANY possibility that the city of Lincoln would gain ANY economic value from the game....just...well it smacks of zero common sense and smells of retribution.
I will admit we can sound a little “petulant” right now....but the BiG sounds more and more like an incompetent, arrogant, aristocratic Louis XVI Kingdom simply telling the peasants to “eat cake”.
Because we said so.....
