Article about former Nebraska AD Moos, stating that had talks with Bob Bowlsby about Nebraska returning to the BIG 12. Although money was good in the BIG 10, loss of rivalries with Oklahoma and Colorado hurt Nebraska. Lack of success in football made him question their move, but Bowlsby and he couldn’t get together. What if!

Moos was only the AD. From what I've read the University Chancellor and other movers and shakers didn't want to make the move from Big10 back to Big12. So it was not a serious effort by Nebraska.
Goodness gracious this is dumb. 12 teams is a better number for a conference. Sac St in the MAC?!?!? WTF?
They had a 2 year run with the guy that just got fired at Stanford and Cam Skattebo. Other than that, they've been absolute garbage.
Paying $18 Million to be cannon fodder...SMH But they have a whole million available for NIL!

Huge caveat is the CFP committing to an extra share. That's not guaranteed for the MAC.
Is it? They almost certainly will be losing more money than they were before. Is upgraded exposure in the MAC worth the loss?
Yep, those Sac State players are going to LOVE playing on a freezing Tuesday/Wednesday Night in November in front of hundreds of people in Toledo, Kalamazoo, Buffalo, etc.They do get to play games in the middle of the week...
Think of the foliage in Amherst that time of year though!
I have no clue when we will reach peak stupidity in realignment. I thought we were there awhile ago. But these last couple of months keep showing we are not there yet.
We have yet to reach full stupid, as hard as that is to believe.
And the closest conference opponent is just under 2,200 miles (by car) (Western Michigan). Ball State just over 2.2K.
Next move: Hawaii joining the ACC
