You guys actually watch the BTN? Seriously don't know if I've ever turned it on or if my Hulu package even carries it

It's right up there with that Cubs channel. Automatic ignore
If there's a CFB or CBB game on there, I'll watch that channel, and prior to the broadcast they'll have some show on. I distinctly remember seeing Nndamukong Suh's highlight reel on there. Made absolutely zero sense.

.....once the current conference contract expires in the near future. Nebraska is pissed because they can't get a replacement team to play after the Wisky game got cancelled. Big Ten won't let them play an out of conference replacement team. A lot of in house fighting between Nebby and the Big 10 these last few months. Time for Nebby to come back to the B12. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2020/10/29/nebraska-big-ten-conspiracy/?outputType=amp

I think they may be able to win in the MAC. **** them for the next 100 years

Nebraska is a perfect fit in the B1G...lots of big ego teams there with a huge sense of entitlement. Always thought TOE and Nebraska fans have a lot in common. Throw in Michigan, Penn State and Ohio State. Can't think a better place for Nebraska to be.

There is one thing they don’t have in common...the National titles

Testifying
"Nebraska is a total embarrassment these days, Greeny," Finebaum said Friday. "I don't even know where to begin other than to say they've been in the Big Ten for 10 years and the only major championship they've won is the biggest crybaby.
"And the athletic director in trying to defend playing Chattanooga said, 'Well, it could be an important data point for the (College Football Playoff).' Nebraska in the CFP? I've got a better chance of winning the country's most sexiest man than Nebraska has of going to the CFP this year."

That was on 24-7

Nah, Minnesota actually has a local talent base to recruit. I always told my Nebraska fan buddy that he better start worrying if they have sustained bad seasons long enough it’s going to be really hard for them to get back to even Pelini era success. That link to history is gone. He thinks optimistically with the West sucking and maybe Iowa headed for struggles in a KF transition Nebraska can win a decent amount of games in the future, but he thinks at best they Could pull an Iowa and average 7-8 wins and have the stars align once in a while and win 9-10.
Oh yeah, Minnesota has the talent base, they just need to keep it in state. Nebraska has the larger fan support though (and probably will). I was just more thinking of national relevancy. and for those of you that followed football in the '80s, we are as far from Nebraska winning a national title as Minnesota was back then.

Problem is that media footprint approach keeps getting less and less relevant all the time. The next time any realignment happens the schools in small markets but have bigger alumni based and fans willing to pay for content are going to be more valuable than big market schools whose “fans” DGaF.
I agree and I hope it continues

Nebraska is the problem, not the big ten.

Nebraska voted to create the LHN.
Nebraska voted against equal revenue sharing.
They left Big 12 because of LHN.
They joined a league with equal revenue sharing.

These are the actions of a spoiled irrational child.

And the Big10 knew all of this when they extended an offer to the spoiled irrational child. If the conference thought Nebby would fall in line once in the Big10, their arrogance was rewarded with what they asked for.

For the record, the same for Iowa State...

Women's cross country = 2012, 2013, 2014, 2016, 2017

Men's cross country = 2017

Plus however you want to count the men's basketball team winning the Big 12 tournament four times.

Yet everybody gives Nebraska ****. I understand they haven’t been great in the major sports, but they’re not the laughingstock of the b1g either.

because the only sport Nebraska cares about (and one of two sports most fans care about) they have sucked balls.
