I gotta say, I'm going to miss playing NU...we have a good number of friends over there we enjoy visiting every other year. No more sidetracks bar for me I guess. 
To ISU Fans...

For **** sake...
No ill will to the OP from me. The situation sucks, and I'm just as ****** as everyone else, but he didn't pull the proverbial trigger.

This. The only thing this guy is guilty of is being a Nebraska fan attempting to be diplomatic at the worst possible time.
You guys are right, this husker isn't being condescending at all!
Actually he has singlehandedly, with one smug little sentence, reinforced why although I merely hated nebraska before, I ABSOLUTELY LOATHE them now!
I'm sorry, you lost me at "I'm a Nebraska fan". And thanks for the most respectful fan comment...really means a lot. That's why we bring close to 30,000+ to Bowl games.
Just food for thought for you and your Husker fans. Especially after the Clones came into Lincoln and beat you last year with a backup QB and RB.
You and your Husker fans get ****** when you win 7 games, while in the Big 12. Imagine a scenario where you play a schedule like Iowa played a few years ago (or even recently). At Penn State. At Ohio State. At Michigan. Wisconsin at home. 7 wins in the Big 12 will seem like a dream at that point.
Thanks Nebraska, for ruining the Big 12 to make what, a couple more million a year by joining the Big 10... money isn't everything. May you lose every game
No hatred for the Huskers here. You'll get some hate from those who didn't see the writing on the wall more than a month ago, and think that ISU wouldn't have bolted if we were given the chance. In all honesty, most of those hating on you are probably the one's who expected Nebraska results on ISU's budget.
Good luck in the Big #.

Now everybody will always view Nebraska as quitters....whining about Texas controlling the big XII....how about putting together a plan to beat Texas and the schools from the south to shift the power up north instead of just leaving.....waaa waaa...babies.....very short sighted.
Here is an article on the Big XII by laws, should the conf go down the remaining 4 schools would be sitting on a Gold Mine of money. I'm not sure TX wants to give up all this money with king pin USC under sanctions for the Pac 10. Which does not help TX, and The Ducks loosing a lot of their star players wont be as good as everyone had thought either. So take time and read the bylaws.
Could the possible Big 12 implosion result in a windfall for the remaining teams?

This has been discussed before, but... As the Big-XII by-laws are silent regarding dissolution, Delaware Law, which is where the Big-XII is incorporated, rules. As Delaware Law only requires a simple majority (rather than a 9-member "super" majority) the departure of 7 teams (which is what we're facing) would result in the Big-XII simply ceasing to exist. No payoff.
I'm not a lawyer and I have not read the by-laws. My source is numerous KC sports radio talk shows over the last two days who claim they have been in contact with sufficient legal sources to confirm this is the case. It certainly could be incorrect but I do not believe so.
I'm shocked that Nebraska, who has been part of this conference along with ISU for decades... (or since it all started?) would forget tradition and join the Little 10? Outside of football, Nebraska isn't exactly a powerhouse unless they're Big 12 ping pong champs or something...
I do not think that is it.
It is shocking that NU and the state of Nebraska of all places would get an invite to the Big 10.
Interesting info from a TX A&M post.
Now you get to see how mighty the tsip fans act. They belong in the Pac10. A&M would love to break off from them, but the politics in TX suck. Most A&M fans would prefer a more conservative SEC, while tu fans would prefer the more liberal PAC10. Problem is that it's tsip backers that want to keep A&M under control, so A&M can't offer recruits a different conference from them. Everyone also knows that tu setup NU to look like a scapegoat for being the reason the B12 is breaking up, so they don't look bad. tu wanted their own tv network and could only get that in the B12 and did everything they could to manipulate other schools (the time limit...) for a quick answer and force them to stay or they could chase $$$ elsewhere if their network didn't workout due to the weakening of the B12 and at the same time make it look like it was someone (NU) elses fault. By the way, Austin is the number one city for gay men to find a husband. Google it and you will find a link, but yet they try to talk about the more conservative school to try to hide their dirty little secret.
