[Husker] Lucky 13?

[David Elfering]

I think Delaney is playing conference alignment poker and doing rather
well at it.

>From a scholastic and market standpoint these two moves make sense.
Are either of them stars on the grid iron? Nope but that can be
changed. Empires rise and fall with regularity.

At this point Delaney has locked in the populace areas of the Midwest
and now extended to the significant areas of the upper Atlantic. If
you look at the potential business side of it, he has cherry picked an
amazing set of markets. You could make an argument that Nebraska is
the least logical of all these moves.

They should consider renaming from B1G to "Industrial" or "Abe Lincoln
would approve" ;)
