So lets say everything stays the same. A&M chooses to stay in the Big XII, and the Big X decides to take a short break on trying to get Notre Dame... As it stands, did Nebraska gain the most from the conference realignment? Nebraska as i see it gained the most. We are (eventually, idk the exact details) getting more money. Our acedemics are gonna get a huge boost in funding and in respectability just by being in the Big Ten. We finally are in a conference where everyone's on an equal playing field (in terms of power). We also help make the big ten have more traditional powerhouse schools than anyone besides maybe the SEC. And we got rid of Texas Now i also know we lost alot of tradition and one of the greatest rivalries of all time, although that died at the beginning of the Big XII(which i remember little since i was only four years old)and that rivalry hasn't been the same since. Does anyone see this differently? cause if everything remains exactly as it is today, i think Nebraska gained the most. IMO the only other program who gained anything close to what the Huskers did was Texas-and all they gained was more money and their own network, but at the cost of conference prestige (which of course matters little to them because the are Texas) I personally wanted to stay in the Big XII, but this was the next best thing, and i don't think it could have gone any better for us. But maybe i'm drinking to much kool-aid

.... I can't quite tell if he's wishing us good luck or if he's angry at us.

Wait...isn't kevin cosgrove your d-coordinator? And you think you will pad your lead in the head to head series? Not trying to be a jerk but yeah..............

"One of these fingers is for Texas; guess which one."

Thanks. Best of luck to you wherever you guys go. I personally hope you guys go to the SEC. I think it would lead to some fun matchups. A&M seems to be on their way back up (although i am not so sure about Sherman, he reminds me alot of Callahan) and its nice to see someone from an opposing Big XII team wish us luck, cause it seems as though the opposite has been the case so far. Plus by going to the SEC you get ten times the exposure cause espn will say your better than anyone in the nation cause your from the SEC

This is a BIG TIME loss.

Thanks Nexus. I found this board a year ago and i am very impressed at the actual intelligent conversations that go on in this board unlike other boards (huskerpedia, sorry i don't like that board) and i think i annoy my friends with how much i try to talk about the huskers, so i figured i'd join so i can talk Nebraska whenever. Anyway, Yeah thats what i was thinking. Do we know how many seats they are thinking of adding?

haha. Awesome!!! I know we did this for money reasons and for a more stable conference. But it does feel really good to stick it to the Whorns. :corndance

Hi. I am a long time lurker of this board, and i have had a question that i have not seen really answered, so i decided to join. I love a good discussion about college (and only college) football, especially the skers. My qquestion is: Do you think that now with the fact that we are in the big ten that we will go ahead and add on to the stadium? Alot of the big ten posters who have joined recently have expressed alot of interest in coming to games at Memorial Stadium,and i don't know if that represents a majority of big ten fans, but if there is that much interest from out of state, do you think that it will mean that we go ahead with the stadium expansion?
