[Husker] A&M makes it official

[Rod Wellman]

I'm nervous about it, too. I don't know if superconferences will be a good thing, or a bad thing.  In my mind, they can get too big.  What's the use of having a conference if there are certain teams you only play every 4 or 5 years?  And, the bigger they become the more travel for the teams involved.  Not to mention the changing landscape of the bowl games, pseudo playoffs, etc., etc.  

Change is inevitable.  But not all change turns out to be a good thing.  I hope the SEC does some due diligence and makes good choices in the near future.
