Why would Nebraska leave a higher payday?
Big XII allows schools to sell Tier 3 rights.
B1G does not.
also I’d say travel expense favors Big XII over B1G especially with non revenue sports.
I doubt the Nebraska AD is profiting by any substantial difference in one conference vs another. Nebraska only went to the B1G because of Texas special treatment in the Big XII (Longhorn Network) and their flirtation with the PAC along with A&M going SEC. If they would tell the truth they’d probably say we should have stayed linked with the Old Big 8 schools especially Oklahoma.
As for how Nebraska was threatened/treated by the B1G Conference/Commissioner and the subsequent slamming by media (ESPN personalities) of Nebraska—Really????
Ryan Day of Ohio State said on Wednesday after the B1G announcement that Ohio State was exploring options. That is essentially the same as Frost. Why no criticism there?
as for the threats by the B1G commissioner of expulsion if they played in 2020? Again Really???
let’s look at what’s happened since Nebraska has been in the B1G
-Sandusky State covered up a former coach who molested, raped/sodomized, etc at least 20+ victims the school later settled with and they weren’t expelled from the B1G.
-Ohio State has a doctor who had inappropriate let’s say behavior with 200 or so student athletes and they were not expelled.
-Meat Chicken State had a gymnastics coach Kathie Klages, who was aware, lied about , and did nothing about Larry Nassers sexual assaults of gymnasts and they were not expelled.
-Nebraska and their football coach want to play football in 2020 so Expell them for actually wanting to play football.
if the B1G did expel Nebraska they’d have a new P5 conference to play in in about 2 seconds and they’d have their choice.
