Big Ten changing the landscape

[Crusader Husker]

Good article, although I haven't read all of it yet.  It's interesting how the SEC fell behind when the playing field became even.

The SEC will get out spent. Imagine some of these past Big Ten teams that have done well with less talent, and they now get 2010s Bama level talent. 

I think the talent will spread out too. Why ride the pine behind a 5 star when you can get paid to play at another school.

Good article with a brief mention of Nebraska in it - the Nebraska of the past:

The population boom gave southern schools a recruiting advantage as Georgia, Florida, Louisiana and Texas annually produced a considerable amount of high-level talent. Prestige and tradition has always had a place in college football but it became easier to win at a place like LSU, once Nick Saban got everyone pulling in the right direction, than Nebraska, which dominated the sport under Tom Osborne in the 1990s but had a limited natural recruiting base. 

Those recruiting advantages haven't gone away but this era has offered the cold-state schools up north an opportunity to minimize them with cold, hard cash.
