Nebraska releases statement following B1G's alliance with ACC, Pac-12
After the B1G, ACC, and Pac-12 announced their alliance together on Tuesday afternoon, Nebraska has officially released a statement.
Some programs are going to be against this since college football is changing so rapidly, but the Cornhuskers seem to be behind it 100% of the way.

Ronnie Green, the Chancellor of the University, and Trey Alberts, the Vice-Chancellor and Director of Athletics, touched on how the school will benefit from some opportunities in a part of the statement and said:
“The University of Nebraska-Lincoln will benefit from several exciting opportunities provided by this alliance. Competing more regularly against ACC and Pac-12 opponents will continue to spread the Nebraska brand from coast to coast, which should add excitement for our fans and alumni, and be of great value in recruiting. We applaud Commissioner Kevin Warren and the Big Ten Conference leadership for their willingness to play a leading role in this unique partnership.”
It’s not known how often a team like Nebraska will compete against the other 2 conferences due to scheduling concerns. Usually, college football schedules are booked years in advance so that will be one of the many issues every school will have to deal with, including the Cornhuskers.
