Whatever conference today that Texas and Oklahoma are in, they are going to be the alpha dogs and everybody else is just considered filler. Any such conference is to be avoided at all costs.
But, this is also like it is in the Big-Ten-Fourteen where Ohio State and the Michigan schools are not moving over from the front of the line to make way for anyone else. Divine right of Kings, and all.
Nebraska has been caught at an in-between place with these major conferences since the Big 8 melted down/up to 12. Big Red aren’t likely to join a major conference to the West (with the likes of Utah and USC and Oregon). There is no major conference to the North of them. They’ve already tried the major conference to the South of them. So, the Big Red are stuck with looking East and that’s where they are.
Or maybe... Southeast? The Big Red in the SEC? Yes! If Missouri can do it, Nebraska can, too. Get away from the cold weather sites and head Southeast like Americans are moving in record numbers now.
The New SEC North Conference. Has a good ring to it.
