WRT Nebraska, do you think they would have been able to continue the

standard established under Osborne if they had opted to remain in the Big XII? Or do you think Nebraska would have likely ended up with the same fate because Osborne took advantage of loopholes in the bylaws that were later closed for various reasons? I know the money is too good for Nebraska to leave the Big Ten now. However, from a competitive/championship standpoint I do wonder if Nebraska would be better served as a member of the Big XII. Likewise, would Jayhawk basketball be better served being a member of the Big Ten (or SEC) vs. a move like like leading Kansas to end up in the same boat as Nebraska is in now (the SS Purgatory?).

I agree Kansas could still make a run to the Final Four as a #3 or #4 seed
