Nebraska Makes Waves at the Sports Book with Move to Big 10
Monday, 21. June 2010 3:51
The odds at the sportsbook will be affected since the landscape of college football betting will probably be changing very soon.
Nebraska stated Friday that they are shifting to the Big 10 which will almost certainly mean the finish of the Big 12 conference. Many of Nebraska’s long-time opponents against the odds at the Internet sportsbook will almost certainly be going to the Pac-10 so college football is going to seem a great deal different after the upcoming season.
Part of Nebraska’s change is financially inspired. Greater paychecks will be coming because of the switch. Nebraska figures to double its portion of conference earnings, from about $10 million in the Big 12 to about $20 million in the Big 10, thanks largely to bigger television deals and the in-house Big 10 network.
On Thursday, fellow Big 12 member Colorado stated it will be shifting to the Pac-10. Accounts became available that Missouri was furthermore planning to leave the Big 12. For Nebraska, the facts spoke for themselves, and they had to consider a change to a more stable conference.
Nebraska was set to make the announcement on Friday but with accounts leaking out about their change, it did not precisely come as a surprise. Missouri could be going after Nebraska to the Big 10 but that hasn’t yet been stated. If the Big Ten chooses not to give them an invite, Missouri could wind up out in the cold. The Tigers may wind up in the Mountain West when the dust settles. Missouri does not have a quality relationship with the Big 12 as it is and the most recent reports have the Big Ten deliberating whether or not they want to include the Tigers.
Other schools are supposed to follow suit now with the reports that Nebraska is departing the Big 12. The Pac-10 is expected to give 6 schools membership into the conference and those other schools are Texas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas A&M and Texas Tech. The Big 10 could also be including schools in addition to Nebraska. The Big 10 is waiting for a determination from Notre Dame. The only 2 teams that would be joining would be Notre Dame and Nebraska if the Irish take an invite to join the conference.
The concern will be what becomes of the Big 12. Many think that the conference is finished after this season. Nebraska’s change to the Big 10 almost certainly signals the end of the Big 12 as a conference. It is now likely that the Pac-10 will become a huge conference with 16 teams and the Big 10 may follow suit by extending invites to squads from the Big East. The landscape of college football is unquestionably changing and this will likely be the last season where you are able to count on rivalry matches in the Big 12 remaining the same.
Longhorns athletic director DeLoss Dodds has said he wants to keep the Big 12 together. Texas is thought to be the lynchpin to the Big 12′s survival. University of Texas regents will get together next week to decide whether or not the Longhorns will remain in the fast-disintegrating Big 12 or switch to another conference.
