If Nebraska does end up going to the Big 10, which I have accepted, how do you think we will do in basketball? Chances are we will get a little more attention but we will have to go against more powerhouses especially if Cuse and UCONN make the switch too. The pace is slower in the Big 10 so I gues that favors us a little because thats how we play but I wonder what recruits will think. I wonder if the change will help us and we get a couple recruits out of this.

 
I wouldn't necessarily say they have more powerhouses. big xii has been pretty stacked the last four years. i haven't done the research, but off the top of my head haven't they had like 3 of the last 5 or so number 1 nba picks and they have been talked about as potentially the toughest conference. granted this year they didn't do too well in the tourney, but i don't think i'd say the big 10 has MORE powerhouses

I would if they get Cuse and Uconn. They already have Indiana and Illinois who are powerhouses and them two would just add one. The Big 12 has KU and I guess Texas but thats it.

 
i understand what you're saying, but syracuse and uconn are long shots - not much talk about them being serious options. as for the big xii, i realize we can't call kstate a powerhouse, but it's pretty obvious they are going to be good for quite awhile. and yes, texas is a powerhouse

 
also, i dont know if you read the journal star but they pointed out what you mentioned in your original post about the pace of the game. i dont have it in front of me but i think that the leading big ten scoring team would have ranked ninth in the big twelve, or something like that
