[Husker] Big 12 re-alignment rumors

[Jon Johnston]

I suspect local attendance means nothing to television contracts or those hoping to start their own conference network. 

Is CU a fit for the Pac-10? Maybe, maybe not. Right now, they're a bloody financial mess. But if you want to expand so you can start your own television network, and your own championship game, can you afford to be that picky?

The big rivalry game with NU brought in 52,817.  I cant see these attendance figures as being inviting.
