Never happen but I like it.
2. Nebraska and Colorado return to the Big 12.You know who the perfect expansion candidates are for the Big 12 right now? Two of the schools it lost. Sure, you can easily argue that Missouri or Texas A&M are better, but both of those schools seem happy with their new homes, and Nebraska and Colorado feeling homesick at least feels more realistic.
Sure, Nebraska enjoys cashing the checks the Big Ten provides, but I don't know that the Big Ten is what's best for its football program. Returning to the Big 12 would not only reunite Nebraska with its old rivals, it would also reunite it with its recruiting familiarity in the state of Texas. While Nebraska doesn't exactly stick out like a sore thumb in the Big Ten, I just can't help but believe it'll always be a better fit in the Big 12 (Big 8).
I could say the same about Colorado. Games against USC and Arizona State just don't have the same cache as Colorado games against Oklahoma or Nebraska did. Still, the biggest reason I'm moving Colorado back to the Big 12 isn't just because it benefits the Buffaloes or the Big 12, but also because in another one of my moves, the Pac-12 has to make some room.
