Nebraska, not living up the the BIG's original expectations, was the unknowing recipient of a master plan concocted over two years ago BIG officials.
Top down talks from upper level BIG reps were funneled through Alvarez to SE last year. Those discussions centered around replacing the NE football coaching staff. This action was the first step in a long list of BIG administrative plans, among which that were set into motion, were to increase the chances of NE re-rentering elite status, which in turn would elevate the image BIG West/BIG as a whole.
During these initial talks, it was disclosed to SE that the BIG legal crew had already worked out loopholes in the Tressel show clause and were actively working behind the scenes to provide the program with everything needed to bring Tressel back into the coaching world for NE and the BIG.
This plan, is among the many steps being taken by the BIG administration to re-ignite the BIG's traditionally elite programs, which in turn would help give the BIG better recruits, rankings, and respect in the football world.
