Welcome Nebraska!

:osu: Great to see a school with such tradition and values join a conference that holds those same traditions and values. We welcome you with open arms and look forward to seeing even more "Red" dominating "Maize & Blue" lol!

My initial sentiment towards expansion was that anything short of UT and ND was a failure.

I'd still like to see both of them end up in the Big Ten, but even if they don't, the addition of Nebraska in and of itself is a fantastic one.

The problem is that once the decision was made to have a conference championship game...THE GAME...was the first casualty...even if it's the last "regular" season game...it has now been upstaged by the "money grab"..err....championship game...that's why I opposed expansion. No matter how you spin it..it will greatly devalue the Big Ten's most important asset....

But since the overlords have chosen to chase the almighty dollar..I am pleased that the Huskers are joining the conference.

WELCOME HUSKERS!

Delaney hinted at having everyone play an extra conference game instead of a championship game. I think we would have to see an NCAA rule change, but monetarily 6 games would be better than 1.

They get that done and I'm 100% ok with everything (like they give a damn what I think).

Add a school like Nebraska, even out the schedules, make more money and NOT screw with The Game = win.

If this ends up being the precursor to a B10 CCG and Nebraska is the only addition it was a fail.
