The expansion of the Big Eight to the Big 12 added Texas to the league and the Longhorns pushed thru a number of changes, including:

1. The Big 12 stopped allow schools to take nonqualifiers (sp). Nebraska had refined the recruiting and playing of nonqualifiers to a high art form. KU and KState also allowed them in the program. Bob Stull publicly complained about not being allowed to use them at Mizzou, that he didn’t have a level playing field.

2. Nebraska got only a 50% distribution of tv, etc money for its first five teas in the Big 10.

3. Tom Osborne stop coaching the Huskers when or shortly after the joined the B1G. He was replaced by the NFL assistant from Oakland who simply wasn’t as good. My recollection is Osborne ran for Congress and if memory serves serve one term.

4. The B1G was dimly a better league from too to bottom than the Bug 12.

5. Under Big 12 rules NU had a county scholarship system that allowed it to provide assistance to a lot of kids.

6. The top of the B1G was sinply tougher than the Big 12, i.e. Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State.
