No but to him Switching conferences for the purpose of making more money is HIGHLY unattractive and seems selfish. I'm not saying that's what or why Nebraska is switching, because I don't believe that is the reason they are. BUT IF, and the key word is IF the media takes this and spins it as a selfish move to make money. (Which the local stations in Texas are saying Nebraska is leaving because they can't be Texas, are tired of living in the shadows of Texas, and were just upset they didn't get more money from Texas).
We all know the reason NU is switching is because other schools around them threatened to leave, which left Nebraska in a situation where it had to protect itself... NU hasn't been selfish at all... NU has been extremely patient and lenient... We didn't look to leave the Big 12... but other schools were looking for money and looking into leaving... which forced us to look into opportunities to protect ourself and maintain our credibility. What happened was that an opportunity opened up for NU to increase their Academic(s), offer a better education to students, and thus make a difference in the world, all while also creating situations of competition for our athletics to compete and grow. Money comes with the switch, but Pearlman, Osborne, and the rest of UNL weren't looking to get rich, they were looking at an opportunity to research things that will help people, they were looking for a place to settle down and commit to, they were looking for other institutions who stood behind the same values of ethics, commitment, hard work, and honesty... The Big Ten happened to come knocking on our door and all we did was listen... contemplate... evaluate...
And there you have the truth to Nebraska joining the big 10.
Unfortunately, the great state of Texas where I live doesn't see the truth... they see us as a bully who is the little brother on their backs who just needs to stop whining...
With that logic AG will go nowhere near UT. You cant tell me that they arent pursueing other options to increas revenue.
To be honest, with this logic, Aaron Green should not have Cal, Nebraska, Florida OR Texas at the top of his list:
- Cal is located in Berkley, which is hella hood. However, UC Berkley is viewed as very classy and rich. Thus Aaron Green does not like the fact that Cal puts on a front and diverges from its "hood" origins.
- Texas is moving conferences instead of staying loyal to the dying Big 12. This is to increase revenue and save their own asses. Disloyalty = bad in the mind of Aaron Green.
- Nebraska: See Texas.
- Florida State has fine women that would be sinful for Aaron Green to look at. He does not want to deal with those temptations.
Therefore the only logical destination and result is that Aaron Green will soon announce his commitment to University of Montana.
NO! I knew we should ave been watching out for the Grizzlies!
