[Husker] Big 10 to increase number of league games.

[Gerald Jensen]

If it results in one less home game every few years, and programs like OSU and Michigan aren't afraid of it, then Nebraska shouldn't be as well.

 
 
This is a very short-sighted statement. Nebraska is no where close to the financial league of O-State and Michigan. I am placing a chart in the body, of this message, if it does not pass the Mike's server let me know and I will attach it. Nebraska is much closer to the bottom of the BIG than the top. Notice O-State had a $10,000,000 profit Michigan had a $10,000,000 profit Penn State had a $15,000,000 profit Nebraska had a $1.5 million profit. We barely break even. Also note neither Penn State nor Ohio State receive any school subsidy and Michigan receives a pittance.
