junior4949 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I read about this earlier. It kind of lost all credibility when it was said they'd be willing to let OU walk to get us back in. We didn't leave because of OU. This made no sense at all. 4 Quote Link to comment
krc1995 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I thought this was stupid talk until I opened up Yahoo and right there it is on my yahoo-sports trending article link. Quote Link to comment
Bowfin Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Nebraska enhances its own brand by becoming a regular in the Top Ten, regardless of conference. 5-0 is somewhat enhancing at the present moment, so how about Nebraska takes that AND a big pile of money. 5 Quote Link to comment
theknife Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 It feels like horse sh#t. There is no network in place and just adding teams in addition to getting a network off the group screams instability. Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 The statement doesn't even make sense. We've made a lot of money but haven't grown our brand? What's the point of growing the brand if not to make money? That's almost the only goal of growing a brand. If someone decides to pay $100 million to Iowa State are they going to be upset that it's cash and not from brand growth? Also, where's the data backing up the lack of brand growth? 2 Quote Link to comment
Flat Water Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 That guy likes click baiting people. I'm not bitting. Quote Link to comment
dtbugeater Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I'm not clicking--but it would be hard to argue he is wrong. Nebraska was king of big 8 and 12. Sometimes co-Kings but always royalty. Since joining the B1G Nebraska has only been 2nd tier. Sometimes even in their own division. It has more to do with competitiveness, rather than conference...but it is hard to deny that NE has made more money but is down as a national brand. Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I'm not clicking--but it would be hard to argue he is wrong. No it wouldn't. It must be opposite day at your house. When has Nebraska really been top tier since 2001? 1 Quote Link to comment
RedDenver Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I'm not clicking--but it would be hard to argue he is wrong. Except that he's the one making a claim and the burden of proof is on him. And he has nothing but idle speculation. This is nonsense. Quote Link to comment

So your theory is Nebraska is sad it isn't on top so they are going to forego Billions of dollars and a conference network channel and a conference championship game to rejoin a sinking Big 12 with less revenue, no title game, no channel and no playoff team this year? Yeah, sounds legit. 10 Quote Link to comment
corncraze Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Like hell we'd follow Texas into a new conference. We're about to make $40-50 million a year from the Big Ten. No way we turn that down for a conference without a solid foundation. The real conversation should be about bringing in OU to the Big Ten West. 3 Quote Link to comment
