Pasadena Husker Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 probably already been posted, but below is an article detailing nebraska's acceptance to the CIC. this is reason enough for nebraska to be excited about the joining the big 10! http://nebraska.statepaper.com/vnews/display.v/ART/2010/06/17/4c1a3e316a670 http://www.cic.net Quote Link to comment
Saw3131 Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 "The CIC helped procure $6.5 billion in federal research grant dollars last year. " Yeah, makes that TV money look small don't it. Quote Link to comment
DJR313 Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 "The CIC helped procure $6.5 billion in federal research grant dollars last year. " Yeah, makes that TV money look small don't it. IMO, this spoke more to the Board of Regents than football TV money. Nebraska would have been stupid to turn down this opportunity, and the rest of the Big 12 knows this. Some are happy for the Huskers, some are jealous that it wasn't them. I'm totally not looking at you right now, Missouri. Quote Link to comment

Nexus and I have been on about the CIC since the Nebraska-to-the-Big10 rumors started. The TV deal is nice, and we'll help the Big Ten in TV revenue, but frankly, Nebraska got BY FAR the better end of this deal. Rubbing elbows with Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, and the rest, plus membership in the finest academic club available to public schools. Yeah, this is a pretty big deal. Quote Link to comment

Yep, the athletics and the Big 10 network is nice (and getting all of the publicity) but this decision was made on the academic issues and for the betterment of the entire STATE. For goodness sake, this IS a university first and foremost. Quote Link to comment

Spartness Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Just thinking about representatives from Northwestern University, Chicago University, etc. visiting Nebraska's academic facilities and making suggestions is a big WOW! to me. We can now -- once and for all -- bury the "N for nowledge" forever. Quote Link to comment

We can now -- once and for all -- bury the "N for nowledge" forever. Oh you'll hear the same derisive comments you've heard in the past. "Just a football factory" (from TOSU perspective), but these are all world class Universities and frankly I don't care what the average football fan thinks of the Big Ten. We know what we are and we know we are changing the world with what we do off the field. Quote Link to comment
Minnesota Gophers Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Academic integrity is what differentiates the Big Ten from the rest of the football conferences. We're not like the Pac 10 who are willing to take any school off the street. We're not like the SEC where, well, academics just are left out of the equation. Every Big Ten university is rated top 100 via US World News, and all are top 50 public schools. Incredible.

Of course, the state of Texas is going to send fake high school transcripts and phony SAT scores to our admissions dept for every 18 year old idiot in their state, just to foil us.
