There’s gotta be some truth to this speculation

 

Why does there? Seems like some made up bologna by SEC guys trying to figure out which ACC schools they might flip.

See what I quoted for context.  Not the OP.  I was talking about boosters eventually being tired of ponying up for NIL and Nebraska will probably have the most loyal ones.

Doug Ewald spoke on this topic on the Husker Doc Talk Podcast a few weeks ago. He was very candid about the importance of us getting back into the AAU to potentially maintaining B1G membership. He also stated the hiring of Gold is influenced by his connections to a man who could get us back into the AAU. For the record NO university has ever been allowed back in after being kicked out. For whatever it's worth Mr Ewald in no longer employed by Nebraska, which occurred not too long after this podcast airing.

Nebraska is the only school that has been voted out of the AAU. 4 others left voluntarily. It has to be helpful to have Gold as President since our AAU membership is dependent on having UNMC's research dollars under the umbrella of UNL

I can picture a time when conference alignment doesn't matter in football ... and where Nebraska is back in the Big XII for other sports.

The very funny thing about that sentiment is that Nebraska only ended up in the Big 8/12 because they got turned down multiple times trying to join the Big 10 at the beginning of the century.

Yes, it's mildly ironic...
