They would have made the B12 championship game this year, at the very least. They will be lucky to finish 5th in the B1G West.
UPDATE: Debbie Tried & Failed But if Our Opponent Shuts Down, Forcing a Cancelation, Should We be Allowed to Schedule a Nonconference Replacement?

They should drop out and be an independent. Fits their style.
Steven Sipple, who writes for the Lincoln paper, has repeatedly stated how he misses the Big 12 and it's obvious why. He is sick of the beat downs Debbie has suffered. The Big 10 is way over Little Debbie's head.
More positive tests. Debbie fans show their lack of class and sportsmanship.
Time for a divorce?
Good Story:
Some exerpts:
On a Thursday morning conference call, Big Ten presidents discussed an exemption request from Nebraska to allow the Cornhuskers to replace Saturday’s canceled football game against Wisconsin with a non-league opponent, the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga.
It got zero traction, league sources told Yahoo Sports. There was no need for even a show of hands, let alone an actual vote. No one was in favor of granting it. The league’s previously agreed-upon rules — conference games only — was reaffirmed.
Also reaffirmed was the belief around the Big Ten that Nebraska, even after nine years of membership, remains a difficult philosophical fit for the league. The Huskers’ request was met with knowing eye-rolls … of course it would be Nebraska that is already trying to rewrite the protocols everyone agreed to just last month in an effort to get a 2020 season played.
Even worse, rather than simply obeying the rules or even just asking for permission in the first place, Nebraska had gone out and negotiated a potential deal with Chattanooga. Then the Huskers took it to the league and basically made the presidents say, “No.”
There is some suspicion that it was done to purposely create headlines and signal how football is more important to Nebraska than the other schools. The Huskers say it was an honest argument.
“It’s like an unhappy marriage,” one Big Ten source said. “It doesn’t work. It doesn’t fit. Yet no one can afford or figure out how to divorce. So nothing is going to change.”
“This might fly in the Big 12,” another Big Ten source said of Nebraska. “But they aren’t in the Big 12 anymore.”
Maybe they should go back.
