Further, how can you prove that the academics at Nebraska are deficient in any way? Simply put, you can't. I highly doubt you have the capacity, or the resources for that matter, to even begin to substantiate such a claim. I am in no way affiliated with the University of Nebraska, but this statement is plain ignorant.

Losing their AAU membership is a blow to NU's academic standing, and by default, the academic standing of whatever conference they happen to be. Take off the homer glasses dude.

Nebraska lost AAU membership. Every Big Ten school except Nebraska has AAU membership. Thus, the league as a whole took a hit, and that is why they will never take another academic hit like the Nubs again. Chancellors and professors are embarrassed to be associated with Nebraska.

It's because Nebraska is full of dumbasses.

With Nebraska gone only Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas are teams with BCS wins in their trophy case.

Nebraska does detract from the Big 10's academic reputation. I don't have any problem with Nebraska, but US News and World Report rankings makes it pretty clear that Nebraska has the lowest academic ranking of the 12 schools:

12 Northwestern
29 Michigan
45 Wisconsin
47 Penn St
47 Illinois
56 Ohio St
56 Purdue
64 Minnesota
72 Iowa
75 Indiana
79 Michigan St

104 Nebraska

I understand that US News and World Report's rankings aren't perfect, but I think it makes a strong case that they reached academically for Nebraska's football money.

I can't confirm this as fact, but I've been told that the reason the OSU situation (Hidden Tressel emails) came to light is because Missouri made a FOIA about collusion between Nebraska and the Big Ten. Missouri felt they were the favorite to land in the Big Ten and thought there were some underhanded dealings when Nebraska was chosen.

Per OSU

According to Ohio State's press release of March 9, 2011: "Head Football Coach Jim Tressel violated provisions of NCAA Bylaw 10.1 when he failed to notify the university about information received involving two football student-athletes. The university became aware of this situation [the Cicero emails] on Jan. 13, while reviewing information on an unrelated legal issue."

We took down Tressel? Awesome!

Wow - talking a pretty big game for a guy that's mounting a lame horse, Chief.

By any objective measure (a couple of which have already been provided to you), Nebraska is a sub-standard academic institution. Oh, you could be given more sources if you'd like them; for instance Forbes placed the Nubs at 442 in the country, but it's really not worth the trouble.

Nebraska's academic program is, at it's very best, below average. The 'resources' required to prove it can be found in a local library or on google. The capacity to do so has apparently only alluded you, who failed to do a single bit of simple research before running your mouth.

You wrote a check your ass can't cash.

His entire view of the situation is just an elusion.
