Earlier today on ESPN’s Get Up, former Heisman Trophy winner for Michigan, Desmond Howard, had a few choice words on the rumors of Nebraska wanting to leave the Big Ten.
This comes after Nebraska head coach, Scott Frost, stated in his press conference that Nebraska wants to play this season no matter what and that the Cornhuskers will look elsewhere to play if the Big Ten cancels. The press conference did occur before the postponement of the fall sports season from the Big Ten, but it still looks like a strong possibility that Nebraska may leave to play in another conference.

Nebraska recently joined the Big Ten in 2011 and has previously played in the Big 12 Conference, who are still planning to play football in the fall. The Big 12 would likely be the Conference that Nebraska would move to if they do decide to leave the Big Ten.
