I'M SO SICK of this alternate/revisionist history BS.
Do you people have any idea of how much cash NU receives annually due to its association with the Big Ten?
It's not just football TV money for the athletic department. That's only a fraction.
Check out this link: https://btaa.org
Once there, see if you can surmise how much research CASH NU gets annually.
At the time NU joined the B1G, the existing members were splitting over $7BILLION annually.
DWARFS the TV deal.
Over the next few decades, the entire University of Nebraska system will prosper.
UN-L will become the difficult-to get-into hub...sort of like UMich.
And like Michigan has all of the compass directional schools, Omaha/UNK/Peru/Wayne will grow in enrollment.
Yes, the decision in 2010 impacted men's sports dramatically but that's a relatively short term issue.
THE MAIN DRIVER is long term academics and B1G research money.
It was that way in 2010 and it remains that way in 2022.
