Husker Conference Realignment Scenario

I’m sure he’s 100% in survival mode. I don’t think it will help - the Big 12 will disintegrate under his watch.
Where’s the “no because the SEC would never invite Nebraska” button?
depends if OSU, PSU, Mich have already accepted their SEC invites. if so, i say we jump.
If they don’t start winning, those numbers will fall. Losing doesn’t bring fans.
Point I was making is, over the past five years NU is no better than either of those two schools, and many others like them. If this was 1997, NU would be the one of the head chefs at the table. It’s not. Nebraska is going the way of Minnesota. Once a power, bitten by the cold and horrible decisions. Can they recover? I don’t know, but the longer it goes the harder it is.

They can’t help but be too 25 in revenue with the BIG paycheck. Fans will dwindle if they don’t start winning. They already are.
It absolutely does have to do with winners, and money, of course. They just didn’t take Oklahoma State and Texas Tech, they took OU and Texas. Top 10 programs all time. I mean, that’s a strong league, even stronger with the additions they just made. It’s going to be increasingly difficult for most northern schools. All the power and money is being tilted. I don’t like what’s happening. The sport is being destroyed right in front of us.
No its conference realignment so the rumors will fly. It will settle down soon I think!
This is absolutely money-driven. Texas has had a much better run than Nebraska recently, but let’s be honest, they’re not really making opponents shake in their cleats.
Why is Texas being invited, then? Money, strong brand, fan following, historically demonstrated high ceiling. Sound like any other team you know?
Not trying to start or perpetuate any rumors, my friend - not saying that the SEC would even be interested in NU. I’m just trying to get a feel for what Husker fans want, in the current climate.
I’m good with it. I keep posting about it. I’m interested in it but I understand some people aren’t like you and I. No need to apologize.
100% this^^^^
IMO, DONU would never be recruited to join! I do like what a prevous poster said about joining forces with the PAC12 and owning TV East to West coast. This is going to be an even bigger Charlie Foxtrot before we know it.
For me it's a question of student/athlete versus athlete / +/- student.
If it's the former we would stay in the BIG10, an academic/sports conference.
If it's the latter, we would most definitely join the SEC. A football religion, regardless of GPA conference.
With few "super conferences" on the horizon and NIL, the money, IMHO, will equal out with the few "monopoly" media/streaming deals for each conference.
Application of both disciplines (athlete vs student) require the hunger to learn, a desired craft and develop skills.
Nebraska football will have to hitch their wagon to the athlete (who may or may not care for an education) OR to the student / athlete who may not care to make it to the next level but desires to be a student/athlete in the traditional sense.
Academic Conference against the Athletic Conference with built in axes to grind.
Interesting times.

Agree with @Frosty1980 ..... any scenario is on the table right now TBH. Who knows how the next month or 12 will transpire. In my opinion, and assuming the Huskers remain in the B1G, the conference would fare much better to try and pluck a few Pac12 giants like USC, Stanford, Oregon....than to court the best of the leftover Big12 schools. It would be fun to play some old foes
