Nebraska wanted football back and the Big Ten gave

Be Jevon Holland Jersey careful what you wish for, Nebraska.The Cornhuskers got what they wanted and more on Saturday when the Big Ten released its 2020 schedule, seemingly finalizing its commitment to play a delayed, truncated season. The week-by-week schedule offered several interesting matchups and insights, including this: Nebraska's schedule is one of the hardest in the conference, if not the country.Here's a week-by-week look at the Huskers' schedule: at Ohio State (Oct. 24) vs. Wisconsin (Oct. 31) at Northwestern (Nov. 7) vs. Penn State (Nov. 14) vs. Illinois (Nov. 21) at Iowa (Nov. 28) at Purdue (Dec. 5) vs. Minnesota (Dec. 12) Championship Week (Dec. 19)MORE: So Nebraska not only opens the season at Ohio State, but also faces Wisconsin and Penn State in Weeks 2 and 4. Those teams are considered the best in their respective divisions, and the Huskers get them all in the first month of the season.So why did the Cornhuskers get the toughest cro s-division draw of any Big Ten West team and play Wisconsin in Week 2? No one can say for sure, but the prevailing theory on social media is the Big Ten is punishing the team for its vocal di sent before and after the conference's decision to postpone the season. The school was one of Austin Jackson Jersey the most vocal opponents of postponing the season.Moreover, Huskers coach Scott Frost said the school would look at to play a 2020 season if the Big Ten opted not to play. That prompted a response from Big Ten commi sioner Kevin Warren, who said Nebraska could not do so and still be considered a member of the conference. (This is a good time to remind you that Warren did not make a unilateral decision; conference presidents and chancellors voted11-3to postpone the season. Nebraska, Iowa and Ohio State were the di senters).Even once the school begrudgingly accepted the decision, a handful of Nebraska parents the Big Ten to release documents relating to its decision to postpone the season. Several players did sue the Big Ten over its lack of communication. So, no love lost between the Nat Moore Jersey Huskers and the Big Ten, clearly.Regardle s, Saturday's schedule prompted quite the response on Twitter, with many wondering aloud whether the Big Ten was sending a me sage to the outspoken Tyreek Hill Jersey team:MORE: Warning: Foul language used.Updated Nebraska schedule, according to a source:@ Ohio StateVs.

Rutgers Adam Kramer (@KegsnEggs) Nebraska at Ohio State week 1.The biggest surprise is that the Big Ten didnt put Nebraska at Ohio State in week 2 as well. Matt Schick (@ESPN_Schick) Nebraska wanted football back, well they got it! Joshua E Perry (@RIP_JEP) The Big Ten to Nebraska: actioncookbook (@actioncookbook) Clearly, the Big Ten intentionally threw down the hammer on NU. That's not the local columnist whining. It's a question of fairne s. Ohio State and Penn State? There's no balance in that equation. That said, Nebraska needs to regard it as an opportunity. Frost won't back down. Steven M. Sipple (@HuskerExtraSip) Big Ten: *Announces OSU, Wisconsin, Northwestern, and Penn State as the Teddy Bridgewater Jersey first 4 games*All of Nebraska: Barstool 'Skers (@BarstoolHusker) The Big Ten caught Nebraska with a cigarette and now theyre gonna make us smoke the whole fucking carton. Tunnel Walk of Shame (@TunnelWalkShame) Nebraska, we thank you for your efforts and fighting for football to return. As your reward you will play Ohio State and Penn State to start the season. Now go get your shine box, and don't ever talk back to us again. Sincerely, the Big Ten front office Jon D. Miller (@jondmiller)
