[Husker] New B1G scheduling

[Glenn Baker]

Hey Shawn,
 I played soccer in Europe and in college.  I still love to watch it but I love 
watching the Huskers even more. All this talk about the ne B1G scheduling is 
making my head hurt.

I know I'm in the minority, but I would love to see a round robin style. Which 
is why i prefer the 12 team conference. Everyone gets two non con games, then 
you play everyone else. I would also like to be the tie breaker some sort of 
formula based on points scored vs points allowed in conference play. 


NOTE: I am a soccer fan.
