Interesting article. Nebraska would be in a group with Iowa, Iowa State, Minnesota, Ohio State and Wisconsin.
I think college football has been headed this way for a long time, albeit slowly. This business of putting 18 teams in the Big 10 is just a precursor. In my opinion we are headed toward a day when college football will be nothing like what we have known in the past. I am not sure how they will determine who is upper tier and who is lower tier, at least to start with.
I don’t see this working but there are a lot of people that are smarter than I am wanting to push it forward. It would seem who is in what place would be determined something like what we now know as Congrove and Massey.

I could see it taking a decade or longer to get all the schools on board and the media contracts to a point where they can all be renewed at the same time.
In any two-tier structure there will be teams that feel they got shafted, NC State and Army may be the biggest two.
Notre Dame in with Virginia and Virginia Tech? Ohio State in with Nebraska, Iowa and Iowa State?
