The implication is that OU would go to the B1G.yes please. opens up a nice spot for us in the B1G
The implication is that OU would go to the B1G.
The issue is that both have to be in power conferences, I don't believe it is that they necessarily have to be in the same power conference.I don't see the Oklahoma government okaying them without OkSt. and I don't think the B1G wants anything to do with them, even with OU
OU fans were not hot on the B1G even with NebraskaThe implication is that OU would go to the B1G.
Radio host Tim Montemayor reported Wednesday that the Cornhuskers want to rejoin the Big 12.

I was told today members of the #BIGXII are willing to let #OUwalk because Nebraska has expressed serious interest in rejoining league...

#Nebraska believes they would have access to significant TV money in a new #BIGXII with Texas. #BYU #Hou and#Cincinnati would join

I have heard for going on a year that #Nebraska enjoyed the revenue from the #BIG10 but does not feel their brand has benefited or grown

Monty was formerly a radio show host in Salt Lake City and was plugged into things going on with BYU, which has interest in joining the new conference, along with Houston and Cincinnati.
Previously, Kansas State's Bill Snyder had said two former Big 12 members wanted to rejoin the conference. His comments over the summer seemed to hint that Nebraska wanted back in, so that would support this report.
Monty also says this new conference, if it were to form, would likely have a new name. He says there isalso some bitterness between rivals Texas and Oklahoma over the Longhorns' efforts to build this new conference, which might not include the Sooners.
Exactly. You beat me to it. .Click bait, nothing more.
Sure, there are some that people that want back in the Big12, but are they the ones that matter? There are many in the Big10 that want to kick out PSU, Nebraska, Maryland and Rutgers to go back to the original 10. Those people don't get to make that decision either.
Nebraska was on a down slide well before they left the Big12. Losing the ability to take prop 48 kids and other issues hurt them more than moving any conference did. Nebraska was the King of the Big12 North and only had to deal with Oklahoma and occasionally Colorado in the Old Big8. Having a list of coaching hire failures doesn't help either.
I would love to keep Nebraska in the Big10, but if they want to go, more power to them. Would be really stupid on their part as they will have forsaken how much money to get full buy in next year?
