Big Ten commissioner shoots down Nebraska’s hopes of playing outside conference this season

After Nebraska's brash response to the Big Ten canceling its football season, the conference's commissioner had a message of his own.

They should never have left the Big XII. All on them.

So I guess Nebraska is stuck. The Big 10 pays them too much yearly to do anything. Is that about it or would they bolt?

I could have stayed in ORLANDO!!!

Nebraska should always be a Big 12 team, just like A&M and Missouri. WVU should be an ACC team and Notre Dame should *** off. Some of these conference realignments have been horrible for fan bases.

They won’t be paid this year or next most likely.

news outlets up here are reporting how bad this will be for the local economy if Nebraska doesn't play.
if i was a betting man id say they are gonna bounce. if they do other teams wont be scared to bounce either.
someone should start a prediction thread

You have to wonder if the players are going to go along with this. Michigan players are bashing their own president and the empty headed commissioner (was he fired from his NFL job?) I just hope the other 4 conferences stick to their guns.

Aside from all of the lost TV revenue, ticket sales for athletic budgets, this really hits some of the small towns in the gut economy wise (think of Purdue out in the middle of nowhere, Lincoln Nebraska etc.) Talk about throwing the baby out with the bath water.

I think the SEC move was a win for A&M. More money and more visibility for them.

big 10 is toast if one team leaves then look for a avalanche

Time to get rid of all conferences in football and make it a 50 team Premier league..

This is what happens when you appoint an incompetent boob as your commissioner, you reap what you sow

Poor Keyshawn greene

The commish can talk a big game when it’s just Nebraska wanting to play somewhere else. Let’s see what he does if penn state, Michigan, and Ohio state join them.

Im not saying financially. The SEC is a huge cash cow however traditional rivalries died which screws over the fanbase. Imagine Miami not playing FSU or VT every year.

More decommits for Frost?

They aren't stuck. Legal battle for sure, but if they gain an ally in BiG XII....

Does the grant of rights cover natural disasters? Nebraska might be able to attack via fiduciary responsibility and/or liquidated damages.

How bad does another conference want them?

Then again, we are ultimately talking about academic betas...so in the end, they will likely tuck tail until a moment in the future for a "clean" break...

What’s their other option? Defect, lose their scholarships, negotiate their own tv and stadium contracts, and ask their coaches to lose their jobs in order to coach them?

Yep, that’s the reason they are in this spot. Huge correlation there
