So much for the Cornhusker\/Sooner rivalry that has always been a big part of my college football memories.\u00a0 I wonder what new rivalries might emerge.\u00a0 Does Nebraska, which has been in somewhat of a decline, think it will do better against Michigan and Ohio State?\u00a0 <\/p>\n

The Cornhuskers will make more money.\u00a0 Big 10 teams get an equal cut of a rich TV deal, reportedly $22 million a year.\u00a0 Big 12 teams just get $7 million, according to what I heard.\u00a0 But what kind of TV deal might a Pac-West megaconference bring? And what will happen to the other Big 12 teams, such as my other alma mater, Kansas?<\/p>\n
