Message: [QUOTE="upstater, post: 662526, member: 153"] But, the internal war over Nebraska had nothing to do with football. Everyone was on board and happy to invite Nebraska into the B1G. The internal war pitted PSU, Northwestern and Illinois (Nebraska's AAU backers) against Michigan and Wisconsin. One of the presidents off-the-record said that Nebraska's AAU status never came up once in the discussion to add them to the B1G. I'm not sure if that's because they didn't really care or because everyone knew there was behind the scenes treachery going on. I suspect it's the former because the emails that were sent just prior to the AAU vote (AFTER Nebraska had already been admitted to the B1G) expressed huge surprise that Michigan and Wisky had the votes to oust Nebraska from the AAU.
