The dominoes are about to fall and they’re going to land on a lot of good people.

And one might happen that we didn’t expect.

Will we remember this as the beginning of the end of Nebraska and the Big Ten?

Absolutely. And the way the Big Ten and Kevin Warren have conducted themselves, that would be a good thing.

The signals were sent initially by Scott Frost on Monday and retransmitted on Tuesday by Frost, NU President Ted Carter, Chancellor Ronnie Green and Athletic Director Bill Moos.

First question: “Is Nebraska bolting for the Big 12?”
I don’t hear any denials coming out of Lincoln. Or Chicago.



quote:

But the Big Ten has made some strange moves of late. It shocked the other major conferences last month by announcing it would play conference games only.

Then, last week it released a full Big Ten schedule for the 2020 season. Six days later, it was over.

Then came Warren’s interview Tuesday on the Big Ten Network. It was eye-opening. Head-scratching. Certainly, embarrassing.

What changed in the last six days? Warren did not answer. Was Nebraska allowed to play non-Big Ten schools? Warren rambled something nonsensical. Again, no answer.

BTN host Dave Revsine handled the interview well, asking the same tough but fair questions once and twice. But Warren flunked the big moment.

For the past two days, a handful of Big Ten coaches — including Frost — basically challenged the league and the new commissioner. Would Warren fire back? Would he assert his position of power?

No. He swung and missed, by saying absolutely nothing.



If you are Nebraska you are running out of reasons to be here.

Did “begginging” look right when you typed it?

In the end money talks and the Big 10 revenue distribution is much better than the Big 12. They're not throwing years of $$ away even though the Big 12 is a better fit for them.

Ultimately a calculator will decide this for NEB. Stay in the Big 10 but lose out on this year's revenue, or get paid this year, but have lower revenues going forward in the Big 12?

So much egg on B1G face if it happens.

They thought Missouri would jump at a chance to B1G and the junior membership. They said nope, Nubs jumped head over heels for it. b1g save face with Nubs being AAU university.

Nubs go into big10 as an AAU member, then get stripped immediately, meaning they are only member of big10 who are not an AAU university. LOL

AAU means a ton to B1G.

I know Nebraska fans hate it and want out, but the reason you went to the Big 10 is still there and isn’t changing longer term - money. Whatever you miss out on this year will be made up within a few years of media rights, unfortunately.

Fans & players deserve to be livid. Many of Big 10 teams haven’t missed a season since the 1800’s. They played during World Wars, the Spanish Flu, Great Depression, but now they can’t ?

This might be the beginning of the end of the Big 10 conference.

PAC-12 is already irrelevant.

I agree with the sentiment of changing the name of the top football conferences to the ‘Power 3’.
