Around the Big Ten

[Whitley]

I share your disappointment and frustration. The '23 season is the first time I'm planning other activities on multiple Saturdays. My dissatificatin includes the impact of unregulated NIL and the portal on team building. Programs have adapted in diverse ways conferring advantage to teams that can unfairly optimize NIL and the portal in the unregulated environment. I'll still follow M football but it's going to be on a not to interfere basis with other activities.

Yeah. It's awful they can actually get money for their work.

I'm not shedding any tears over the folding of the Pac 12. I've seen way too many games where USC/UCLA got to sit at home preparing for a Rose Bowl while the Big Ten team had to live out of a suitcase for 2 weeks waiting to play the game. Its about time we get them into Big Ten territory for some November night games.

revengeful

Nebraska has played all four of those programs numerous times since 1993...4-1 vs. UW...1-1 vs. the Duckies...3-2 vs. UCLA and 0-3 versus the Condoms...

fuckin' USC

[AlabamAlum]

So, 1 game over .500 collectively?

How many of those were last 10 years?

Also, stfu.

[THE_WIZARD_]

Only games in last 10 years were the two against The Duckies.

BTW....Seattle Husky Stadium is one of the fucking loudest stadiums in the country...

I was there for OSU's last visit in 2007. Yes it's loud and if you're in the upper level it shakes a LOT

I was there last year and was hoping to experience a vintage crowd but it was one of those funky Friday night games (against Oregon State) and the place was far from capacity. Really cool stadium, though.

Last time we played USC at the Coliseum UNL fans outnumbered USC fans...and that was back in the Petey days...last time In Pasadena against the UCLAns we out numbered them badly....and we played them in two bowls games since then as well IN California...and UNL fans outnumbered them 3:1 both times...Oregon fans do show up....although about 10k UNL fans made the trek to Eugene...UW fans are fairly strong but tend to be a little fair weathered fans....not as bud as the Puffaloes though...

When Michigan, OSU, PSU, and UNL (and possibly others) play in L.A., they will have the majority of fans. Especially against UCLA in the Rose Bowl.

Absolutely shocking that TV executives would balk at forking over 100s of millions of dollars annually to broadcast PAC-12 football.

Well joining the B1G will improve their crowds...from the visiting crowds...

That being said...if you've never been to the LA Coliseum area...good luck...better hope it's an afternoon kickoff...
