Nebraska can be back to where they were when you consider they are in the Big Ten West. If freaking Iowa can be undefeated and in the top 10 then Nebraska with better resources and a better brand should be.
They won big in the old Big 8 with no Texas connection. They can still recruit well in places like Louisiana, Texas, and California and New Jersey.

Completely agree.
The Big Ten West might be the worst division in P5 college football, and Nebraska gets to play Iowa, Northwestern, Illinois, Minnesota and Purdue every year.
There's absolutely no reason they should've win 8-10 games every year and own that division.

In their winningest days the program utilized a combo of Los Angeles talent and an semi-illegal walkon system that allowed them to skirt scholarship restrictions.
In the time since Nebraska was a power the entire country got more exposure for themselves (minimizing the effect of Nebraska's brand) and more money for themselves (which took away their facility advantage). We have also seen kids want to stay close to home to compete if possible which cut off their Cali and Texas pipelines.
The program basically died when it fired Solich. That story is a warning story for other programs (much like SMU's death penalty) for a reason. The nine wins they got under big nose was probably just slightly above what they should expect to achieve as a Big 10 program. The fact that he got fired for hot having enough success turned the entire situation into a comedy movie. The Mike Riley hire (aka the biggest WTF since Dooley) was just more wood on the fire.
