Nebraska has garnered respect and fans around the league, beginning with the most powerful brand name in the Big Ten.
” There are a lot of individuals at Ohio State who are Cornhusker fans,” stated Bobby Carpenter, a former Buckeye and NFL linebacker who has a sports talk show in Columbus, Ohio.
” For pressing back and revealing that, hello, lets see if we can discover a path to play and if other individuals can join us. Lets do it.”
Believe about the idea of a Big Ten school taking legal action against the league. Thats some guts. Think of how it landed around the league.
Now take a look at the result: The Big Ten all of a sudden discussing beginning a football season Thanksgiving Weekend.
At a rally outside Ohio Stadium on Saturday, Gee Scott Sr., the dad of a Buckeye player, told the crowd, “I believe Nebraska and their fans are out here doing the Lords work.
” I thought of wearing a Nebraska hat. Its a gorgeous thing when you have conferences that interact.”
Now, comprehend that the University of Nebraska did not sue the Big Ten. NU did not try and stand in the method, either.
This bold relocation made sense in this way: Nebraska, still fairly new to the league, is not as devoted or established. NU is not scared of the Big Ten office.
