So why play? It’s not about revenue since the stadium should be empty.It won't count in the standings. It's a OOC plus FCS. Does nothing for them. Nothing.

Don't know the quality of education in Nebraska but here in NJ, "Conference games only" means "Conference games only".Nebraska did this already knowing it would be canceled.
I find it hard to believe this situation was discussed pre-season and decided upon.
"If a game gets cancelled, can we sub in another team?"
As we tell our kids "Asked and answered."
Nebraksa is just looking for attention.
And no TV revenue.So why play? It’s not about revenue since the stadium should be empty.
From an ego standpoint, it does. Nebraska knows this is going to be a rough year for them.It won't count in the standings. It's a OOC plus FCS. Does nothing for them. Nothing.
Ego won't help them get into the Playoffs. And beating up on a FCS helps them??From an ego standpoint, it does. Nebraska knows this is going to be a rough year for them.
You have no idea how small Nebraska folks are when it comes to winning against anyone. Winning against an FCS team is equally satisfying as winning against Oklahoma. Nebraska still believes they are in the same conversation as Clemson, Alabama, and Ohio State.Ego won't help them get into the Playoffs. And beating up on a FCS helps them??
I guess doesn’t this season break their record for number of sold out games?I have a hunch ... Nebraska said since it’s not a big ten game ... we don’t have to follow B1G protocols on fair home field advantage and wanted to sell tickets, like 25% or 50% or something ... B1G told them to stick it up their Chattanooga
Let me ask the Nebraska fans this. Where are they getting the money to pay Chattanooga??You have no idea how small Nebraska folks are when it comes to winning against anyone. Winning against an FCS team is equally satisfying as winning against Oklahoma. Nebraska still believes they are in the same conversation as Clemson, Alabama, and Ohio State.
It would have counted towards bowl eligibilityIt won't count in the standings. It's a OOC plus FCS. Does nothing for them. Nothing.
Although there are no set requirements (wins) to go bowling, it does help to have as many as possible so you can be selected for one of the better bowls.It would have counted towards bowl eligibility
NU b*tched about Texas going rogue in the Big 12 and trying to control what takes place in that league. Now they are attempting to go rogue in the B1G.Cut Nebraska slack they just want to play. They were going pay $ for no revenue gain.
There are protocols. Per last night’s BIG show, Wisconsin’s codes are Orange/Red for test positivity and population positivity rates. Orange/Red means team must proceed with caution and enhance COVID-19 prevention (alter practice and meeting schedule, consider viability of continuing with scheduled competition). Wisconsin considered the viability of continuing and decided to pause all football activities for 7 days.
Go back to the Big 12 where you can give up 50 points and still win.F'em'!
The SEC and some of the other conferences have minimum players at positions criteria. For the B1G, I’ve only seen Test and population post it’s rates criteria and they are very stringent. Doesn’t take a lot of player and staff positives for games to be cancelledI thought I read about a certain number of a position group had to be available, and X amount of OL available, or am I thinking of NFL protocols?
And earn a quarter of what you're making in the Big 10!Go back to the Big 12 where you can give up 50 points and still win.
Would it have made more sense for Illinois to sit out this week as well since they played Wisconsin last week and possibly could have been exposed to COVID?
In this manner, Nebraska would then play whoever Illinois was scheduled to play this week?
I'm sure all Illinois players have been tested but the above seems prudent and the safest thing to do to ensure no further COVID passing occurs should an Illinois player had been exposed last week in its game vs Wissonsin.
Of course doing the above causes changes to the schedule going forward, but every sport and league is dealing with it on the fly.
Just a thought.
What a mess with COVID. So sick of it.
definitely not coming back and NU is on the declineNebraska needs to realize they aren't OSU. Those days are over and I don't think they're coming back.

in 5-10 years the huskers are out! They go back to where they sadly belong...being Texas’ bitch and playing to recapture b8 glory with the Texas schools shaking their heads.
NU and Mizzou back to the 12
I’m sure the SEC and B1G can easily find replacements.
why stay in an unhappy marriage. NU and the B1G will never get along and mizzou don’t belong in the SEC (though they seem more willing to be compliant...NU is ornery and vocal)
