rumors about realignment ...
- Thread starter tmcats
- Start date
Nope. Nebraska not going back to the Big 8. Enjoy the watered down "Allstate Luxembourg equity firm Big 12" group of nobodies. Sick FSU will end up Big 10. Clemson will be SEC.

Are you not allowed on the Kitty board? Do they even have a board? Why the fascination with Nebraska? We're not in the same conference anymore. We have no more ties.
Why do I have my doubts Clemson and FSU would leave the ACC for the Big 12?? Does that even sound right when you say it outloud?
Within the next page you will show a pic of your lake house and talk about your high school.
Love how you diss gifs as moronic but don’t find the irony in your own posts.
Also if you make a stupid post, you will get responses in kind.
Let’s wait and see. Until then, maybe no more new threads about Nebraska to the Big 12?
these two posts were made by the same person mere weeks apart:
this board never disappoints

Why TF would we leave the big 10, the most lucrative conference in collegiate sports?
because the football tradition has been lost. i really don't believe this N piece either. but i do believe the b12 is getting a capital infusion for an expansion reason. and i suspect it's to attract fsu and clemson and/or other schools.
Because we don't fit culturally and the conference has been marred by pedos, molesters, and wokeness. I get that we are never leaving unless we are kicked out, but some of us don't much care for the Big 10. Money isn't everything, especially when we don't spend it to be competitive in the big 3 men's sports.
I see major College football evolving into a minor league pro sport associated with the respective universities. Maybe the top 24 or 32 programs? Then everyone else will be forced to go back to amateur college football.
IF FSU and Clemson escape the ACC only to sign up to be locked into the Big 12, they ought to have their heads examined. How nuts would it be to get out of one long term binding commitment they're complaining bitterly about only to go right into another one signing away their media rights again? Makes zero sense.
it actually makes a lot of sense if this is going as i think it might. there's an infusion of capital which is used to bring those two schools, maybe more. with them in hand, the conference renegotiates its media deal to be more competitive with the sec and b10. this doesn't happen - the capital infusion - unless that's already on the table, both pieces. private equity is in the business of fixing underperforming assets. and then selling off for a profit. they are not here as some sort of social services organization.
You didn't even post any links, it's literally "some people are saying" garbage. What did you expect, a fully rational well thought out response? But keep digging trying to make it sound like ANY football program would move from the B1G to the Big 12. It's a non-starter, no matter how much you want to argue that it makes sense. It doesn't.
Dude. I don't think you understand. There's PRIVATE EQUITY money on the table here.
Private equity.
Still don't get it? Say it under your breath, not too loud.
Private equity.
I am often amused at the time and effort that goes into rumors. This is no exception. There is likely much going on across the country concerning realignment and until it happens, it is all speculation. I guess it is fun for some, they can come back later and say I told you so if they make enough guesses.
My point is that the capital infusion comes with some onerous long term conditions which are more stringent than the current ones in the ACC. It's NOT free money without commitment strings attached.
Our empty trophy case in said new football facilities would like a word though.
Lol, you sure pay attention to me. If I didn’t know any better, I’d say you were trying to get under my skin. But I know you well enough to know that you will absolutely deny that…nice Troll attempt, have a nice day.
Snipped the rest because this was the only part that mattered. If Nebraska was actually winning the conference every once in a while and being a competitive partner on the same level as Michigan and Ohio State - which was the very reason they were invited to the conference - I suspect many Husker fans would feel different because winning solves a lot of problems.
I mean, hell, NU wasn't a cultural fit in the Big 12 either, judging by all the 11-1 votes against them.
Everything about the B1G sucks...except the money. Football sucks (other than a couple of teams), the basketball sucks...baseball sucks...volleyball doesn't suck as much. We're beholden to the almighty $$$...and it sucks.
People will say, "but but the B12 was falling apart." Yeah...and Nebraska played a huge role in that.
