DFW listers probably know Norm Hitzges from The Ticket here in Dallas.

Norm had the guy on who broke the story in the subject line this morning.

He (the author) brought up a very real scenario in which DONU gets left
without a partner. If there's no big 10 offer pending, and the 6 south teams
head west, he said there's a possibilty we'd end up in the WAC / Mountain
West.

Ouch!

There are some vibes to this that don't resonate well for Nebraska. We
don't have the population nor academic clout  to play in the big money
sandbox. I can see potential politics that have zero to do with
football or athletics period but everything to do with tv ad revenues
and market exposure.

The landscape may change in total favor of commercial product and
thereby totally abandon even the premise of collegiate, amature
athletics as being anything other than a commercial product.

If this happens it that way then NU's football history and quality
product don't factor into the equation very highly. The same will be
true for all areas that don't have TV clout. More over those who do
have that will be pick the bones of those left for dead and pocket the
cash.

Wish I had a better inclination to what we are seeing but this is what
I feel is a strong possibility.
