Chattanooga, announce in the morning

That's not true. Apparently, you haven't been watching all the field hockey matches from 2019 they replay these days. I know I've been riveted to my TV.

I don't think any other P5 conference would let their teams do what Nebraska is trying to do by walking off the reservation and doing their own thing... the schools all have contracts... and there's that unresolved issue of "Grant of Rights."

And they get paid handsomely for it. We as fans may disagree but I suspect if any of us were commissioner we'd likely arrive at the same conclusions.

I think you nailed it with what is is bold. There are several NAIA volleyball conferences (including my daughter's) that have moved their conference schedule and tournament to the spring, but are letting their members schedule whatever games they want this fall. However, they do not have TV contracts and grant of rights issues, so more autonomy is allowed. The only way for NU to do whatever it wants is to be an independent. We like having the money that the Big10 hands out for the TV contracts, so we have to play by the rules, even if the rules suck at times....

So, you strategically keep pushing against that glass ceiling when appropriate, with integrity at all times.
If some Big powers that be truly hate Nebraska, this will (borrowing from Sip here) tip their hats and expose them.
I'm good with that, and teams lie osu, iowa etc, will follow ,or lead when a potentially strategic opportunity comes to them.

Sounds like the PSU administration is fed up with the conference and they are as mad about having no vote on this as we are. Makes for an interesting storyline moving forward.

Word is that the commissioners weren't voting against NU per se - they voted to affirm what was already agreed to: that this season would only include conference games.

I hate it, but yeah that's what the "big brains" agreed to so it makes sense that they hold to it.

Guys it is a done deal, playing Chattanooga Saturday. Book it

I'll give you an E for effort. It almost happened...

This was Frost, Moos, and the rest forcing the conference's hand. Now when tOSU or any of the others need a makeup game to be eligible for the payoff, they won't be able to.

One would think anyone in a leadership position, that is successful mind you, would take the time to see the forest for the trees.

Our guys did exactly that.
The way the rules were set, it becomes a simple math problem unless its perfect.
They knew, they simply dont care enough.
