As much as I hate to agree with anything from TOE, it actually makes a ton of sense. Nebraska, Rutgers, and Maryland have been awful in conference play and dead weight to BTN in the era of cord cutting. It instantly stabilizes the Big 12 (regardless of what happens to Nebraska) as any further discussion of Texas and Oklahoma joining the Big 10 (particularly by radio people here in Detroit) are dead on the vine and sends the message that further conference expansion isn’t necessarily wanted. And while I’m neutral on readmitting Nebraska into the Big 12, they’re one of the few schools that actually makes sense.
