NU will be a welcome addition to the B10. In my experience NU fanbase is midwest class like Iowa's.

Much like many other schools, Iowa has the edge on everything once you get outside of football, I have no problem admitting that. But as far as football goes, Iowa fans around here have this weird inferiority complex when it comes to NU. They're always crowing about how much better they are, when in reality, they're pretty much the same. It's probably not like that outside of Omaha, but with us being right on the border the fans are constantly clashing. It's going to be crazy once they start playing every year (assuming this happens).
