I don't watch a lot of other college football besides Florida anymore but will keep games on in the background on Saturdays and for the life of me I don't remember ever seeing Nebraska on...anywhere. Other than Big 10 network are they even good enough to draw national games anymore? I don't believe so...I am not advocating for anyone in particular, but I think of all the teams that have switched or joined conferences in the formation of the Power 5, than Nebraska's football program has suffered the most. When they were in the Big 8 or Big 12, Texas was a huge recruiting base. you could say to a recruit that we are playing UT, TTech, TCU, A&M, Houston, Baylor SMU, Okie, Okie St. or most of the these teams (depending on history ) every year. That is a decent lineup. Now you say to a recruit we are in the Big 10 but not assured of playing OSU, MICH, MSU, Penn St. possibly in any given year. You have Wisc., Minny, Iowa, Illinois, NW, etc. etc. every year. a lot of recruits will look and probably quote my good friend Eric Cartman: "Screw you guys I'm goin home" or "Suck my balls", b/c the schedule is horrendous.
