MEGA Conference Realignment and lawsuits Megathread: Stories, Tales, Lies, and Exaggerations

[Rellyrell]

Yep. They really killed themselves when they fired Solich. Dude took them to their last title game and won at least 9 games/yr after that I believe.

Yep; there’s a SI article from a Nebraska alum & sports writer speaking on this, & he brought up some valid concerns w/ UCLA & SC creating a seismic shift to the B1G.

Imho, Nebraska needs to humble themselves & go back home to the B12. I believe they can find better success in such a conference, especially w/ UT & OU leaving. I heard some crazy stat from yesterday’s game, & I could be misquoting, but I know I’m not that far off:

Nebraska lost like 7 games last yr by one score. They’ve had leads going into the 4th, but just get mauled where they can’t cross the finish line. Frost’s coaching style is great for the PAC-12, B12, or AAC, not the B1G, SEC, or even ACC. Nebraska is out of place, I mean even their triple option offense screams Big 8/XII, not B1G.

At the end of the day, I would wonder will the B1G kindly push them out, b/c they r bringing nothing to the table, not academically or athletically. They r just a big name from the past.

Edit: & just like that, 247 w/ an article on Frost. Lol

Final countdown: Numbers show Scott Frost's Nebraska days are numbered

Scott Frost says he has seen this movie before, but the problem is the Nebraska coach doesn't seem to remember how it ends.

Imagine a breaking news like this:
B1G surprises everyone and adds Notre Dame, Miami, Florida State, and Clemson

Except it would more likely be the SEC making the announcement.

Could you imagine that announcement??

No way they leave that money.

 

[Rellyrell]

they bring tv and audience

This is a really, really good article regarding Nebraska & viewership. It’s true, they bring viewership, but that viewership has slipped precipitously over the past several yrs, & part of that viewership is based upon the teams they play vs. their brand.

Nebraska's brand power amid 5 consecutive losing seasons? What the TV numbers say

"I think our brand is strong," Nebraska AD Trev Alberts said. "And just like with our fan base, we can’t take that for granted.”

Oh I totally agree.

 

[dycane]

No chance those 4 end up in the same conference.

 

[St. Cane]

Let’s keep this discussion honest. Rutgers, Maryland, Illinois, Purdue and possibly Indiana all bring less to the B1G table than Nebraska.

 

[Tony4Canes]

Although some will say at least Rutgers and Maryland brings those tv markets

Bottom tier is straight garbage, which is why I would hate going there.

 

[atlCanesFan]

That should answer your question

 

[St. Cane]

No doubt. Even after the addition of USC and UCLA, the average quality of the B1G is still vastly inferior to that of the SEC.

They may not a have choice if they are "asked" to leave in some form or fashion. I think Relly said it earlier, BIG thought they were getting Tom Osborne's Nebraska but, well, they didnt.

The money they will be getting will help them get back to that.

They are not going to be "asked" to go anywhere. If they do, Rutgers, Maryland, Purdue, and Indiana better watch their backs.

I'm surprised that I haven't heard outsiders claim the same about us and he who shall not be named...

 

[Macca]

I was 13, & yeah, I still remember the collapse. My first cry was Miami v Bama in the Sugar Bowl & I saw it live as a kid w/ my family, who are SEC fans. Probably had like 8 fights that week w/ relatives on the trampoline. Lol

You guys are all pups. Christmas I am old.

You know you’re old when you say that.
