I agree with everything bad everyone on here has said about Nebraska. 
All that said the conference is probably better the day after we add Nebraska and BYU than it was the day before they joined. 

Nebraska? Fine. Even the black sheep is welcome home.

BYU? If they were wanted they would already be in the Big 12. I don't know.

Seen this multiple times and people need to understand that nobody wants WVU. Y'all don't want them as evidenced by always trying to give them to other conferences. If the secsecsec or acc wanted WVU, they would be there already. The Big 12 has a hard decision ahead, keep WVU if you feel responsible for them, or send them to the g5 where they belong

I would keep WVU and send Baylor away. I had a great time in Morgantown and I like the WVU fans I have met. Waco is a total shithole and Baylor's rape enabling/murder cover up-ing/cat killing asses can go fuck themselves. 99.9% of Baylor fans I have met are complete and utter shit heads as well.

You  are out of your mind if you don't want Nebraska back in this conference. This conference needs Nebraska and Nebraska needs this conference. You add Nebraska and any other team (maybe Cincinnati for the market and proximity to WVU) and we go back to 12, get a real championship game and move away from the Texas-centric geography that killed the SWC. 

Sure, they acted like total cunts when they left, but it was a bad breakup for everybody. They have been circling the drain since they left and honestly, we have too. Still, they are one of the blue bloods of college football. If you have a chance to add them to your conference, it's a no brainer. Their rivalry with OU and history with the rest of the Big 8 leftovers is something that you can't buy or manufacture. That shit still matters in this sport.

Also... a lot has changed with regard to media rights since they bailed. Cord cutting is going to make the next Big 10 TV deal look a lot different than their current one.

Being a Kstate fan I agree with this 100%. They beat up on Kstate and the other Big8 schools (minus OU) for 60+ years, just pummeling our faces in while smiling about what great fans they are. When Kstate finally started beating NU consistently (5-2 from 98-04) they couldn't take it and fired Solich which started their downward spiral to where they are now. Then they left us and their 100+ year history with the Big8 schools to prove they were still relevant. 

I would have loved nothing more than to have spent the last 10 years jumping up and down on their dying corpse as corn kernels shot from their mouth like BB's. 

I want them back in the Big12 for that reason alone, to kick them while they are down until there is no more leather left on my shoes. 

Ah, kstate hate, there you are.  Yep 98-04 sealed Franks fate (fired in '03 btw, nice revisionist history there)  You won those 5 games then.........lost 6 in a row.  Now shut the fuck up.

 

Guess I'm getting old, back at TOS, I learned that all the pussy whiny bitchassedness was all on the Nebraska side....that Texas and her fans were above all that.  Outside of the ones I highlighted above, all the pussy whiny bitchassedness is exactly where I was told it wasn't.  

I've always hated the B1G move, since day one.  I Surly hope this gets Nebraska back where they should have always been.

So to avoid paying lawsuits, the Big 10 passed up a minimum of 70 million dollars? Not to be cold, but wouldn't one think the payouts in a lawsuit would be far less than that even in a worst case scenario? 

I believe the worst case scenario is a significant number of players getting infected and spreading their infection to family, friends,fellow party goers, and many others they come in contact with, and the start of their transmission is directly traced back to a football game or practice. That web of liability could be fatal.

Yeah, but they aren't worth bringing on by themselves to make 11, but as a partner to Nebraska it makes sense.

TV draw with mormons, decent football team, likely to get better being affiliated with a top 5 conference, and a nice trip for the fans. I think, in conjunction with corn, they are a net benefit.  And they'd allow us to go 8 conference games with a logical conference championship and get the benefit that we see the SEC getting from not playing a true round robin.

Nebraska ain't going anywhere - they have a GOR with the Big 10 that would cost them like $50M to buy out. All this at a time when they have no football revenue. Let them rot in obscurity on their tiny corn laden outpost in the middle of nowhere. 

Well, the B1G GoR's end in 2023, so if NU has to sit one year, & joined XII next year, there would be a 2 year buyout...
XII could help cover that, in knowing networks would "compensate" XII for adding ol Cornhuskers back to the slate...

Add to that, enticing a few brands that are a legit shot: Colorado/ Utah/ BYU/ Arizona/ Arizona State/ USC/ UCLA...
West Virginia could either slide to ACC (solo) or paired with TCU or Baylor to SEC, giving XII 8 slots for adding #16...

Texas
TCU
Oklahoma
Oklahoma State
Kansas
Kansas State
Nebraska
Iowa State

XVI - west:

Colorado
Utah
Arizona

Those buyouts are all negotiable and if its true the B1G doesn't want them, they won't pay anywhere near $50mm or whatever prorated number is in their contract

Taking Nebraska back would be akin to taking back your psycho ex girlfriend that left 9 years ago in search of some new dick, and talked mad shit on her way out the door. Now upon learning that the cocks aren't always girthier on the other side, she's back talking about the good times . Except those intervening years have been hard, and she's now packing an extra 50lbs and a meth habit. Yeah......taking her back seems like a GREAT idea. She absolutely won't be the same psycho she was 9 years ago. She's changed, lulz.

No, lol, apparently you don't know many lawyers.  They would get it insured somehow, not go with your 'it can't be that bad, bro' scenario.  Because a worst case scenario is far more than 70M.  Have you heard of a class action lawsuit?  LOL @ payouts being far less than 70M for a conference that sends each member 30M plus for just one football season...

In this analogy, we've been fucking Baylor and TCU for the last 9 years (or rather, they've been fucking us). Say what you will about that psycho ex-girlfriend, and she might be fat and she might like meth, but she's still an upgrade over every program in this conference not named Texas or Oklahoma.

Plus, all the rage from them leaving and their cuntbaggery makes the rivalry so much better. The shit talking would be epic. We certainly wouldn't want anything like bad blood in a rivalry. We should schedule more UTEPs and UCF's instead. For fuck's sake our home schedule this season is Tech, Okie Light and the two Kansases. Nebraska coming back and playing in Austin would be the #1 draw by a fucking mile (if we actually have fans that could attend games, that is).

And Urban Meyer is exactly correct. If you play next spring, your team will be at a significant disadvantage next fall. playing 20- 26 games in a 10-12 month cycle has its own issues. I doubt there will be a season this fall (past a few weeks at most), and I doubt there will be a season in the Spring. Once the smoking crater of college athletics is left, we can sort it out and see where things stand next fall. 

Edit - I presume you could play an abbreviated spring schedule but whats the point.
