Message: [QUOTE="DarthGrumpy, post: 1229021, member: 2141"] Nebraska gave the B1G one of the big name football programs in the country. Sure they swallowed the academics a bit as Nebraska was kicked out of the AAU almost at the same time. But, the B1G is looking at the long term. They plan to be part of the P4 and are positioning themselves to absorb the gems from whichever of the ACC (UVA, UNC, G Tech, Florida St) or XII (Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas) folds. Adding Nebraksa adds an anchor to add potential XII teams on just as Maryland did for potential ACC teams. As for Nebraska itself, of course they want to be attached to Texas, that's a major recruiting ground for them. But, if the XII does fold, Nebraska will be happy with its former conference mates joining. [/QUOTE]
