Washington St and Oregon St are in the mix for worst location, but the liability in Nebraska’s location cannot be overstated. Coaches in basketball and football talk about the 5 hour radius for recruiting. Well that mostly gets Nebraska tumbleweed. Kansas City and the western half of Iowa (where they are struggling against the 2 instate schools) are about it. Compare that to ISU - KC, Minneapolis, Milwaukee and much of Wisconsin, Chicago and much of Ilinois, call St Louis close enough. Nebraska looks more like the Dakota schools than anyone else in the B1G.
