craigsker Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Per ESPN, the Big 10 is looking to get to 12 teams within the conference. So just for the sake of discussion, should Nebraska bolt for the Big 10? Quote Link to comment

So just for the sake of discussion, should Nebraska bolt for the Big 10? Can you imagine what the rest of the country would say about us? We couldn't handle the b12 so we left. And hat would they call it? The Really Big 12? Big12 lite? No, I don't think we should Quote Link to comment
Cornhuskers Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 That would be a step down Quote Link to comment
mickijc_20 Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 at least then we could be really bad like ohio state every year and go undefeated and not play a conference championship game and play in a bcs bowl game Quote Link to comment

I do think that the main reason why the Big 10 loses a lot of bowl games is because they finish their season so early and players get rusty. We would strengthen the conference. I would think the only teams they are looking at is in the Big East since the ACC raided it. the MAC and Conference USA wouldn't do them any good. No team is gonna leave the ACC or SEC. So the number of teams isn't that great. They invited Notre Dame in early 90s and they said no thanks. If i was the Big 10 i wouldn't give them a second chance. Let them suffer. Quote Link to comment
UGAHusker Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 I've said it before and I'll say it again. Nebraska does not meet the academic standards of the Big 10, therefore, don't look for the Huskers to be invited. Any disagreement with this fact is futile. Quote Link to comment
huKSer Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 They wouldn't have us Quote Link to comment
BigRedNV Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 WTF...we were one of the "BIG 2" in the Big 8 so why the hell would we want to go to the Big 10? Nuff said! Quote Link to comment
Nexus Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 We're about to enter a new decade. We still have a lot to prove in the Big XII. I'd rather see us rise to the occasion and re-establish another 90's-like Husker Dynasty. I have every reason to believe that the Pelini Administration will see it through. Once we find our identity on the Offense, we'll have a lot of hardware to look forward to in the new decade. Quote Link to comment

Nebraska does not meet the academic standards of the Big 10, therefore, don't look for the Huskers to be invited. Any disagreement with this fact is futile. Based on what, "US News" rankings? Those have been shown to measure very little related to true academic quality, and a concerted effort has been made by reputable institutions to not cooperate with the bogus report. Nebraska was categorized as a Carnegie "Research I University" in 1994...this category was renamed "Doctoral/Research University-Extensive" in 2000. One of 59 in the United States. If you measured strictly the academic offerings, research, and admissions/quality of students....UNL stands up quite well with Iowa, Indiana and Michigan State. UNL is also more selective than all three. Admissions Data (2008) UNL: * Percent of Applicants Admitted: 63% * Test Scores -- 25th / 75th Percentile o SAT Critical Reading: 510 / 670 o SAT Math: 530 / 670 o SAT Writing: - / - + (what these SAT numbers mean) + (Big 12 SAT Comparison Chart) o ACT Composite: 22 / 28 o ACT English: 21 / 28 o ACT Math: 21 / 28 + (what these ACT numbers mean) + (Big 12 ACT Comparison Chart) Admissions Data (2008) Iowa: * Percent of Applicants Admitted: 82% * Test Scores -- 25th / 75th Percentile o SAT Critical Reading: 510 / 660 o SAT Math: 560 / 680 o SAT Writing: - / - + (what these SAT numbers mean) + (Big Ten SAT comparison chart) o ACT Composite: 23 / 28 o ACT English: 22 / 28 o ACT Math: 22 / 28 + (what these ACT numbers mean) + (Big Ten ACT comparison chart) Admissions Data (2008) Indiana: * Percent of Applicants Admitted: 71% * Test Scores -- 25th / 75th Percentile o SAT Critical Reading: 510 / 620 o SAT Math: 530 / 640 o SAT Writing: 500 / 620 + (what these SAT numbers mean) + (Big Ten SAT comparison chart) + (public university SAT chart) o ACT Composite: 23 / 29 o ACT English: 23 / 29 o ACT Math: 23 / 29 + (what these ACT numbers mean) + (Big Ten ACT comparison chart) + (public university ACT chart) Admissions Data (2008) Michigan State: * Percent of Applicants Admitted: 70% * Test Scores -- 25th / 75th Percentile o SAT Critical Reading: 480 / 620 o SAT Math: 540 / 660 o SAT Writing: 480 / 610 + (what these SAT numbers mean) + (Big Ten SAT comparison chart) o ACT Composite: 23 / 27 o ACT English: 22 / 28 o ACT Math: 22 / 28 + (what these ACT numbers mean) + (Big Ten ACT comparison chart) Quote Link to comment

BIGREDIOWAN Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 I don't think we should because we are one of the original teams of the Big 8. One of the other teams should pack up their things and leave................ISU? Quote Link to comment
Dundermifflinite Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 I thought we called it "The Big 1O" around here? Quote Link to comment
