Fantastic, if not a tad dated, news:

The league's newest members – Maryland, Nebraska and Rutgers – are operating under a six-year financial integration plan and not expected to receive BTN profit shares. Nebraska is scheduled to receive its first full financial share in 2017-18 – the first year of the league's new television contract - while Maryland and Rutgers will receive full shares starting in 2020-21.

This is one of the reasons I don't see us ever going back to the Big 12. It's probably going to be a topic from now until the end of time though. http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/eye-on-college-football/25247736/bill-snyder-on-big-12-expansion-lets-bring-nebraska-back-and-a-few-others

Never Hoppen!    (Going back to the Big 12, that is!)

Although I miss some of the old rivalries, I like even better the New Conference and New Rivalries (can you imagine the Huskers having as big a revival as we have in the B1G if we were still in the B-12?).

 

The advent of BTN means the televising of virtually every Husker sports event (even football).  More folks can enjoy Husker sports than ever before.

It is only with a hint of nostalgia, but No regret as memories of the Big 12 recede in the rear-view mirror!
