I have no idea as to how it would benefit the B1G to be against Nebraska's success in football. We are, despite Hawkeye fan objections, a premium football brand. It would greatly benefit the entire conference if we rose to a perennial top 10 or even 20 team. I have no doubt that we're headed that direction and that SF will take us there. He's sacrificed the first couple of years of his tenure in terms of instant success, in order to build a stronger foundation for much bigger success down the road.
However, it's getting more and more difficult to look past some of these things.
