A&M the next to leave the Texas 12?

[Sandhusker]

speaking of ass rape and KU in the same post....I am questioning your sexuality, my friend.....you spending too much time around the Cather Society ????

Texas and nebraska are more alike than you want to admit. both have HUGE egos....both are big programs....both wanted to run the big 12....HOWEVER, the 7 other teams who were sick of NU and the arrogant BS they spewed during the Big 8 days said, "hey, lets vote with Texas and teach these a-holes a lesson" well, the big bully of the north got knocked down a peg or two, and they did not like it at all....so they left for the big 10......and guess what??? you will not be top shelf material there either....

I am curious....when nu loses to Wisconsin, will you be confused with the fight song?? after all, NU stole it from Wisky......

PLUS Bilema is a Snyder prodigee.......he will enjoy a little husker thumping....I hope he runs it up!

The other schools couldn't see what NU saw years ago with Texas. They went along with Texas thinking they were doing the right thing, but what they were really doing was allowing Texas to slowly suffocate the conference. The Big 12's days are now numbered, the damage has been done - and it was self inflicted.

 

[jigs]

so in your opinion, the years of domination and manipulation NU put on the big 8 has nothing to do with the rest of us voting with texas in an "f.u." to nebraska???

texas and nebraska are identical. big egos, arrogant, and total cry baby if they do not get thier way.....THAT is why NU left for the big 10...take your bullsh!t talk about academics somewhere else...

 

[Sandhusker]

How about providing an example of said manipulation?

"There were several disagreements between Nebraska and Texas at the time. The most contentious was over academic qualifications. Texas said no to Proposition 48 recruits (those who didn't meet minimum requirements, since amended), and Nebraska wanted them on an exception basis. Three who started Nebraska's romp over Florida for the '95 national championship were Prop. 48. But in fairness to Texas, the league voted 11-1 to not allow Prop. 48s. Still, Nebraska cried foul because Texas had junior college kids on its roster, and you could get to Texas as a Prop. 48, if you started in JC.

"Both coaches at the time, Tom Osborne and John Mackovic, opposed the Big 12 championship game, but when the presidents voted for it, Mackovic came on board and ruffled Osborne's feathers when he said coaches should let presidents do their jobs.

"Texas wanted Southwest Conference commissioner Steve Hatchell as the new Big 12 commissioner and wanted the office in Dallas. Nebraska wanted Kansas A.D. Bob Frederick and the office in Kansas City. Texas prevailed on both counts.

"There was also disagreement on how the conference came together. The old Big Eighters believed they were throwing the Texas schools a lifeline. Texas and Texas A&M had other conference options and framed the Big 12 as a new start for everybody. Remember, at the time Nebraska was the college football kingpin. It was in the midst of one of the most dominant eras ever and figured it had clout. Texas proved the Huskers wrong."

It has been said that 50% of the Huskers roster were Prop 48's at one time.

The joke was: What's the difference between Joe Paterno and Tom Osborne?

Answer:
Paterno coaches at Penn State & Osborne coaches at State Pen.

Doesn't the Big 10 allow unlimited Prop 48's?

I really dont think voting with texas was an f.u. to nebraska it was just teams like kstate, kansas, iowa state coming to reality that they would be hung out to dry and left in the dust if the Big 12 split up. So they decided settle for nursing off of Bevo and go with the Texas Ten. And sure you got more money for from the tv contract, well that is just simple math divide how ever much by 10 instead of 12 and you are going to get more. And if it is such a great tv deal why does Texas have there own tv network and going to make way more money than the rest. So just realize teams like Nebraska, Texas, and Oklahoma are national powerhouses and will always be, and when kstate becomes one your opinion of nebraska and other national powerhouses will be worthy of recognition. It would be nice to have a local team like Kstate to cheer for in the Texas Ten but all the kstate fans seem to be so butt hurt over anything nebraska that i definantly wont be cheering for them. And for times we lost to kstate and where mad about it and crybabies like u say, I guess husker fans need to take lessens from teams like kstate on how to take losing, kstate fans are well versed in that area.

According to CoSIDA, since they began awarding Academic All American status in 1952, Nebraska has garnered a total of 65 Academic All Americans...52 who have won it, with 13 who won it more than one year, with 3 chosen prior to 1952. 2 Huskers are in the Academic All American Hall of Fame. This is First Team Academic All Americans. Nebraska leads the nation with 99 total Academic All Americans. Texas has fewer than 30 who have made the First Team. K State's number is fuzzy, but they report that during the Snyder era, they have had 10 players earn Academic All American status, but it's not clear how many were first team selections. Penn State reports that during the Paterno era, they have had 34 players achieve 1st team Academic All American status. As far as Auburn goes, they report that since the 1930's, 61 football players have been awarded Academic All American status a total of 72 times, but there is no breakdown of how many were 1st or 2nd team.

'Braska must be doing something right with all those Prop 48 kids, huh?

 

[jigs]

anyone whho loved KSU through the 80's is, in my opinion, a TRUE fan. look at the wheels falling off the nu fan wagon when they took a dump through the Callahan years...the biggest haters wore red....

sure KSU got the **** beat out of them for ever. we almost gave up football. then Snyder , in 10 years, went from worst to first, and ran right through big red, texas and OU to do it....

Just to show you that Academic All-Americans and Prop 48 are not even remotely related:

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- The Southeastern Conference had 43 Capital One Academic All-Americans in 2010-11, more than any other conference. The league had 23 student-athletes earn first-team honors, an all-time high for the SEC, officials said today in a news release.

The Capital One Academic All-America Teams are voted on by the College Sports Information Directors of America, or CoSIDA.

The 43 student-athletes represent 11 of the 12 SEC schools while 10 schools had someone on the first-team. Since 2003, the SEC has had 148 student-athletes earn first-team Capital One Academic All-American status.

The SEC placed 43 on the first, second and third teams, which was 4 more than the Big 12, which was second, and the 8 more than the Pac-10, which was third. The 23 first-teamers from the SEC were five more than the Pac-10, which was second with 18.

"Student-athletes from the SEC achieve amazing results both on and off the playing courts and fields," said SEC Commissioner Mike Slive. "Student-athletes can realize their hopes and dreams and create a solid foundation for life in the Southeastern Conference."

Pretty sure Prop 48 hasn't existed in the SEC since 1988.

Then why has K State only had 10 qualify since the Snyder era began? :wink:

LESS DONOR MONEY HIDING THE FAKE TESTS??

 

[Mike]

No news about the Huskers athletes getting extra study books that aren't 'required' for a class?

Supposedly the athletic dept has bought several of these 'recommended' course books. Several as in $28,000.00 worth of NCAA violations.

Wonder how many of those books were sold for personal profit by the athletes?

Are they emulating Ohio State's thuggishness already?

Only 2 years of NCAA probation?

Seems light unless they are found to be in violation of "Lack Of Institutional Control".

 

[eatbeef]

Nebraska self reported that violation and self imposed a 2 year probation. All the students involved have to pay the bookstore buy back value of the books back to the university and that is to go to the charity of the students choice. This was a mistake made at the bookstore when the books were distributed.

That was the same excuse the Univ. of Alabama used in their "book" scam that got them in serious trouble with the NCAA. Those kids were getting books, signing the invoice, then selling the books for cash.
Kids in all 16 sports were found guilty.

Hope it works out to be a mistake in the Huskers case.

There was another school that got caught in a book scam a few years ago too.

If they were going to sell books, there is nothing that seperates these from the text books.

 

[pknoeber]

Let's be honest on the textbook thing... 28K, really? We're going to try to "throw the book at them" over that? Any major DI program probably has that amount of money running under the table in 6 months or less.

UNL will always have an advantage over KSU b/c it's the only major program in the state, while KS has KSU and that other school... Having said that, KSU is moving rapidly in the right direction and I really like the current Pres and AD... Who will probably move on to UT when Dodds retires

 

[Mike]

Georgia just got put on probation and had to vacate a conference championship and other games over $300.00 worth of clothes.

 

[jigs]

while KS has KSU and that other school...

:agree: that made me chuckle
