B1G conference gives it coaches long term deals. SEC does not. Shatel contends that Lincoln at OU did not like the idea of playing and losing in the SEC so he left for USC.

Shatel: Coaching's latest trend shows difference between Big Ten and SEC

This is not unlike the conditions that Nebraska found in the B1G. Our scheduling has seemingly always been against us. Boy would I like to get the schedules that Iowa gets or for that matter OSU or Michigan.

Maybe its time to think seriously about rejoining the Big 12, the scheduling against us in the B1G is intolerable and the two big troublemakers in the B12 are leaving.

I would only go back to the Big 12 if Ou stayed. Otherwise it's a joke of a conference.

I think Lincoln Riley made a smart call here. I'm on record as saying that the Longhorns and the Sooners move to the SEC will be as bad as Nebraska's has been in the B1G.

But the OU-TX move IS THE REASON we ran to the B1G in the first place. We suspected even back then that their leaving was only a matter of time. If we had stayed, we'd be an also-ran in a third rate conference for a fraction of the money as the teams in the B1G and SEC. At least in the B1G, if we get our act together, we'll be an instant Big Dawg again.

Just another conference to lose in. I don't think NU could go much over .500 there under our current organization. Frost had better concentrate on the team before we blame the B1G, or any other outside force, for our current decline. The results this year were laid down four years ago. I'm not so sure Frost isn't in over his head yet and I eagerly await the hiring to conclude. It's time to get things right.

He may very well be in over his head. Only time will tell. Right not though as you said he needs to worry about making the right hires for next year. If we start winning ball games then keep on tweeking until we get where we need to be.

SEC does not give long term deals? Brian Kelly just broke the bank - $100M plus incentives for 10 years. Maybe the buyout is "friendly" to LSU but I doubt it - why would Kelly sign on unless he was pretty dang sure he would see most of that money.

Kelly is no spring chicken either. 60 years old and he signed a 10 year deal. That means he will be coaching until he is 70.

In fairness, that G6 conference slate has 2 teams that may make the playoffs this year.

Nebraska will never rejoin the B12. Why would it? That conference is on the verge of implosion every other year. There's a reason teams keep leaving. Instability.

When that piece was done, Kelly was still at ND.

The B10 should be livid at Nebraska. We've been a major disappointment.

As Husker fans, we all shake our heads at how horribly bad things have gone for our beloved program. But can you imagine how frustrated the B1G is? They thought they were getting another Major Michigan-Ohio St-Penn State-caliber player, instead they got another Illinois.

If the B1G could get a 'redo,' we'd never have been invited and would be stuck in the hapless, not-ready-for-prime-time, Big XII with our old friends, Kansas, Kitty State, and Iowa St.
