Maybe Fred wants to go where he can make money and win. The Big 10 has 3 good programs in it and Ohio State is up and down. So that means there are 10 other teams to beat up on, and Nebraska has the facilities and fan support to rise to the top of that mediocre conference while getting paid. The Michigan schools are as good as Duke, UNC, or Kansas so eventually he could challenge for some conference championships. It's still Nebraska though, and I don't know who would actually want to live there, but from a job perspective I get it.
