Now that its official, how long do we have to wait for Bill Moos and Scott Frost's press conference announcing that the University of Nebraska will be playing fall football in another conference?

If that happens they'll be kicked out of the big10 .
Guaranteed if tOSU and Michigan do it and a few others follow the B1G wouldn't have the balls to kick them out.
Scott Frost talked a big game yesterday. Waiting for him to back it up.
If tOSU and Michigan do it, maybe they'll kick out Rutgers and Maryland.
Warren was too gutless to buck the narrative despite evidence to the contrary, or to release the results of the vote showing how divided they are.
What makes anyone think he'd have the balls to actually follow through with kicking a team out?
Nebraska doesn't have any money. They make less than Iowa and they pay it out to former coaches.
I think Nebraska would love to get out of the B10 and get back to the B12 where they could be relevant in a weaker conference again. This may be their way to do it.
Balls to kick them out? More like would have the brains not to kick them out. You kick OSU and Mich out then guaranteed PSU follows and the B1G would quickly be weaker than any other P5 conf by far. People don’t want to admit it but it’s the truth.
Michigan's AD's statement is on this page: https://mgoblue.com/news/2020/8/11/...gn=athrelease&utm_content=fallsportspostponed
this was my thought. It’s probably all a scheme to get themselves out of the Big Ten or they’re clearly not good enough to compete.
“Well being of our student athletes” - playing 2 football seasons in 8 months
None of this makes any sense whatsoever Eppy. Who exactly are the presidents who wanted to cancel? We know Iowa, OSU, Nebraska, Michigan were all in. Penn State's Franklin came out saying they would fight. I can't imagine Mitch Daniels at Purdue would have voted to cancel. So who exactly voted for this? Rutgers, Maryland, Minnesota, who else?
Iowa is the main Big Ten team i follow outside of Nebraska, but I generally try not to post in the Nebraska threads, but I am curious about this. My mom used to teach at Lincoln High in Des Moines and counted Jordan Bernstine and Adam Robinson as students, so I've followed the Hawkeyes somewhat in part because she spoke highly of those two young men.
I think all of us are disappointed in the season being postponed or canceled, but would Iowa rather that Nebraska play this fall or not play? Did it rub Iowa fans wrong that Frost voiced a desire to play even if it's outside of the conference, or is it that you just hate Nebraska so much that anything they do tends to annoy you? Just curious on the Iowa perspective.

I'd be just fine with Nebraska declaring its intention to leave the B1G. Pay the secession fee ($25M to $50M), wait the allotted time (2 to 3 years) and allow the B1G to recruit a replacement. Try to lure Missouri (St. Louis and Kansas City TV markets) or Colorado (Denver TV market). Trading the paucity of television revenue that the State of Nebraska's populace brings to the B1G's coffers for what Missouri or Colorado could bring is a definite "win" for the B1G.
Further, I'd take Missouri's academics and Colorado's academics over Nebraska's.
Finally . . . Boulder >>>>Columbia>>>>Lincoln
Agree, but at the end of the day you’re just Nebber. A very expendable institution.
Scott Frost's statement was irritating because he was sticking out his chest, trying to act tough and essentially making claims that he couldn't back up. The whole "we're ready to play and if the conference won't allow Fall football, we'll figure something else out" statement essentially lathered up Nebraska fans for something that he couldn't deliver.
Nebraska is not taking the field any sooner than Iowa -- although I am intrigued by the option of playing a different schedule with different conference opponents.
I’d love to have Colorado in the B1G replacing Nebber.
It was a travesty that Nebraska and their subpar academics were ever let into the B1G.
I can't for the life of me understand why Nebraska was ever admitted to the B1G. What do they bring exactly and would anyone care if they left?
I don't see Nebraska moving back to the B12. The decision to stay or go is, in the end, a financial call and believe it or not, Nebraskans know how to count money..... OK they may need a calculator....but they would be looking at approximately $30M per year in lost revenues after the move. And the B12 isn't the most stable athletic conference.
They give all B1G opponents multiple wins every year against them in CFB & CBB.
That’s just about it.
joining the mountain west so they can have winning seasons again is more their style.
Fair question. I don’t hate it at all. Each school has decisions to make that are sometimes independent of the prevailing opinion of the conference. more power to them.
It will be interesting to see if he/they actually “walk the walk”. I have a feeling that it was all lip-service, but I will give credit to Frost if they move forward and was not just spouting off.
because Big Ten schools are not playing football in the fall.
I understand, but why would the Big Ten be in charge of Nebraska's nonconference schedule?
It's a volleyball school. Unless you want to relive the "glory days".
because the Big Ten is not playing football in the fall. So their nonconference games will have to be in the spring like everyone else’s.
I hope Nebraska schedules it's own games and I hope they and Iowa agree to a Black Friday game together. I know it wont happen, but I can wish.
No way, I want Iowa to stay in the B1G.
Obviously Iowa and Nebraska couldn’t go it alone but if OSU and Michigan are in as well then we could absolutely call the Big10’s bluff on this. They would never kick out all of those teams.
Scott Frost's comments about trying to play outside of conference amused me more than anything. I completely understand the desire to try to do whatever is possible to play this year, but it's pretty damned funny that they'd put their standing in the conference on the line for the sake of one season. I genuinely believe the U of N and Nebraska fans would like to go back to the B12, but there is no way they'll be able to do that with contractual issues in the B10 AND the B12.
Personally, I love watching Iowa kick Nebraska's ass in football year-in and year-out so, no, I don't want to see Nebraska leave the B10. I count on that automatic win to boost Iowa's record every year.
Why would they be kicked out if they played an independent schedule of non-conference games?
