I assume we are splitting revenue 66 ways

dropping baylor and adding Houston or TCU doesn't matter much to me

I really like playing in the Big, especially in the Big west, but.......... going back to traditional matchups vs the Kansas and Oklahoma schools would be preferred with money being equal

more regional for travel and television

Yeah, I like Nebraska quite a bit.  I like Penn State quite a bit.  But if we are doing this for the good of all football, I want to keep as many teams with natural rivals as possible.  That's also why I erased the last 15 years.  I'm not moving Nebraska out, I'm just never moving them in.  I'd also put Bedlam in October, and have Texas-Texas A&M and Nebraska-Oklahoma every Friday after Thanksgiving.

Completely agree with FF.  I have no idea why badge is stuck on Nebraska being in the B1G. It's not traditional and it's not good for college football as a whole.

If you want "what's best for CFB" then Nebraska and OU need to be back in the same conference.  I'm not saying it has to be with Texas in the B12 (or Midlands or whatever) but they need to be in the same conference. Playing every year as an OOC rivalry game works for some schools (UF/FSU, SoCar/Clemson, etc.) but Nebraska and Oklahoma belong together.

Similarly Texas and Texas A&M need to be in the same conference to work as rivals.  Texas and Oklahoma, on the other hand, do not-- although I've certainly enjoyed the intensity of TX-OU as a conference rivalry.

I like it, B cause I'm an old guy

I also assume these 66 are only allowed to play other members of the 66?

So, Nebraska v Iowa State, Huskers v Hawks, and Herbie v Ralphie are natural non-con games

Actually, Thanksgiving night.  I mean, as long as we're all living in the past and fantasizing here. :)

Ha!  I quite specifically said that I didn't think Nebraska necessarily needed to be in the same conference as Texas, just that the Huskers and Sooners belonged together.
But, I'd certainly be heavily in favor of sharing a conference with Nebraska and getting that guaranteed W every year. ;)
Seriously though, I really enjoyed the B12 in its original form.  I'd be A-OK with getting the band back together.  
Leaving out Baylor, obviously.

Welp, a lot has happened in the last 15 years and some of can't be erased.

Given the choice, would OU want Texas, or would it want Nebraska?

OU would always take Texas

more recruits in the Lone Star State

but, as we see in the scenario above and in many decades past, the Sooners can have their cake and eat it too

My own personal feelings aside, why would it have to be a choice for OU?  The solution that makes the most sense puts Oklahoma in the same conference as both Nebraska and Texas.

Your proposal of Nebraska being in the B1G with zero traditional rivals makes far less sense than putting them back in the B12 with ALL all of their traditional rivals.

Again, if you're truly interested in "what's best for college football" then putting the  B12 back together in its original form (minus Baylor, obviously), makes much more sense than forcing Nebraska awkwardly into the B1G.

I'm not quite as old as you farts.  I think of it as the noon Friday game, like it was in the 90s and 00s.

Ugh, gross.

Actually, from around 1996-2001, it was on T+1 at 11 AM Eastern, which made it 10 AM local time.  Absolutely horrible.

Nope, no thanks.  I'll take the traditional Thanksgiving Night slot, thank you very much.  ;)

I was actually thinking that, then thinking I must be misremembering because there's no way they'd play it at 10 AM CT.
