Maybe Bill Snyder was on to something....or maybe not

If you check this Tim guys twitter he has a series of tweets where he tries to support his theory.

 
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.

 
I thought this was stupid talk until I opened up Yahoo and right there it is on my yahoo-sports trending article link.

 
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.

 
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.

 
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?

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.

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.

 
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.
