That whole article by CW sounds like revisionist history by Dr. Tom. Nebby is nothing more than a average team with their best years in the past. They left the B12 because they couldn't beat the big boys, little did they know OU, Baylor, TCU would be the teams to beat in a decade. The only thing that hasn't changed is that OU is still consistently good in most sports.
Hard to take this dinosaur seriously. The lip-licker thinks Tommie Frazier is the greatest Big 10 QB of all-time.
Tom would make an excellent CNN reporter....
Forget Nebraska. Let's move to West.
I think Big 12 and Pac 12 will eventually join forces together and form massive conference.
Current Big 12 + Colorado = East Division
Rest of Pac 12 = West Division
Pac 12 aren't doing so well on $$$ and Big 12 wants big name members that adds value. Well, why not!

The Sooners and Cornhuskers, who were already scheduled to renew their rivalry in Norman on Sept. 18, 2021, and play in Lincoln on Sept. 17, 2022, will now also meet in the 2029 and 2030 seasons, it was revealed by OU athletics director Joe Castiglione and Nebraska athletics director Shawn Eichorst.

No, they left the Big 12 because the south division teams all sought to join the Pac 12 - led by Texas.
Breaking news - if like Neb, ISU had gotten a Big Ten invite, we would have joined in a second.
If the PAC isn't doing well then I would hope the Big 12 wouldn't take the entire group.
6 possible? USC, UCLA, UofA, Arizona St, Cal and Stanford?
Ugh. That looks like hell. Utah and CU instead of the Bay Area teams to keep some type of geographic sanity?
USC and ISU in the same conference? Nothing says college football is dead more than that shotgun wedding (and Rutgers)
Actually from what I read it was the other way around. NU wanted to keep the game an annual affair, but OU turned it down. (They already had to play Texas, A&M and OSU every year......they weren't very good at the time of the Big 12's formation and Nebraska was on top of the CFB world. Why would they want to play that game every year at that point?)

KU stadium is at just over 50K, so while small, does fit into the footprint of the BIG. As for the PAC 12, they continue to hemorrhage $'s...

Each team in the PAC 12 makes $5-6 Million LESS a year than ISU from Tier 1 rights...so what conference is better positioned to raid the other over the next few years...

Mods, please change the thread title to "Tom Osborne Talks To Himself About Schools That Have Shown Interest In Big Ten"
Size isn't everything. Keep and I went down there last year. That stadium is an embarrassment.
Osborne ripped on the Big 12 since day one. He protested having academic standards for freshmen, because it would hurt his recruiting. He didn't want a title game, but was okay with it if Lincoln was the host. He can EABOD.
Oh yeah, and he lost to Jim Walden.
