Nexus Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 MADISON, Wis. -- In late December, the Big Ten and Pac-12 announced that they would enter into a new scheduling partnership, and that by 2017 there would be an annual football series involving all 12 schools in both leagues. But Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez told ESPN.com on Thursday that the partnership in football had not been finalized because "there are a couple of teams in the Pac-12 that are dragging their feet a little bit." "We hope we can finalize it," Alvarez said. "I think it would be healthy for our league and their league." Continue Reading Quote Link to comment

Nexus Posted April 20, 2012 Author Share Posted April 20, 2012 I'm sure you guys are thrilled that Colorado will be rotating back onto your schedule. I have no personal qualms about it. Lots of Husker fans reside in that part of the region, so it's beneficial if and when it ever happens again. Quote Link to comment
It'sNotAFakeID Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Besides, what's wrong with a free win anyways? Quote Link to comment
Creed Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I'm sure you guys are thrilled that Colorado will be rotating back onto your schedule. Assuming Nebraska is an annual top 4 B1G team, would they pair them with Colorado due to location or align them with a top 4 Pac 12 team? I am not sure I am into this PAC alignment. I wish all the BCS conferences would rotate playing each other. Quote Link to comment

I wish all the BCS conferences would rotate playing each other. Isn't "a top 4 Pac 12 team" an oxymoron? NO - I do not want to play the Colorado "Urine Bombs" ever again. Quote Link to comment

Woody Tressel Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I would much rather have a yearly series with the SEC. Quote Link to comment
Muck Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I would much rather have a yearly series with the SEC. That would require SEC teams to travel outside of dogpatch. ie it ain't gonna happen. Quote Link to comment
Woody Tressel Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 That would require SEC teams to travel outside of dogpatch. Very true. Quote Link to comment
HuskerFanChuck Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I think, for better or for worse, at least when it comes to football, we've hitched our wagon (or they've hitched theirs, whichever way is more palatable) to the Pac-12. I think, after all is said and done, it'll be a good fit for both conferences, and make both stronger. Quote Link to comment
