Views from the other leftovers?

THis is all about prestige of a super football conference. It would be funny if we end up with five or six all the same football conferences with different winners every year. They are all trying to outgun their neighbors and then they end up on the same pot.

I echo these sentiments.

Yeah, you say that now. But once a conference comes calling for you guys and not for us, I doubt there will be much brotherhood talk any longer.

It sucked losing to UNI, but that is what actually makes sports so much fun to watch. If this becomes a 64 team deal and everybody else is out it will ruin college sports.

Exactly. I agree on your whole statement. As usual greed sucks the fun out of something.

I think the point is that the B12 North is thought of as a joke already, but the one thing we do have is a re-emerging Nebraska. Not sure you can take an already obviously weaker division and fill NU's role with BYU. You'd have to have a bigger realignment and get OU to come up here, which they aren't likely to want to do.
