Then there were the 11-1 votes, with Nebraska in the minority, on having a football championship game and on initial eligibility standards.

Texas had threatened to leave if the eligibility vote didn't go its way. The night the votes were final, I was about to leave the office for our sports department Christmas party when the news broke.

So I sat back down for a long night of phone calls. But Joan Leitzel, NU's interim chancellor at the time, made it worthwhile.

When I asked if Nebraska would bolt from the Big 12 after losing that vote, she strongly replied: “We won't play it that way. Nebraska has been a strong builder of the Big 12.''

But things change
