Neb Standing In Conference Realignment - our best fit

Is this some kind of joke?

Actually, the old Big 12, with Oklahoma, Texas, Missouri and Texas A&M and without teams like Cincinnati, UCF or Houston, is my ideal conference for Nebraska, and a league I'll always have nostalgia for. 

But regardless of whose fault it is (most people blame Texas, whether correctly or not), that league is now gone. Why would we want to go to the current Big 12?

 
This subject is beating a dead horse.  I was hoping it would be gone for good.  A Nebraska return to the Big XII is never happening. Those days have come and gone and lots of teams have moved on since then.  The only thing the Big XII has over the Big Ten is more road games to drive to. That's it.  The Big Ten is superior in every other category or metric you want to use.  In fact, if the choice for some reason in a hypothetical where the Big Ten wasn't available and  Nebraska is asked to join the SEC or the Big XII I would choose the SEC.  Big XII is old news like Walter Cronkite and Dan Rather.

And the Big 12 isn't even as good of a geographic fit now as it was in the oughts. They now have teams in West Virginia and Florida, and they'll be having schools in Arizona next year.

We'd have a better chance at getting to a bowl game though - any bowl game.
