If I were Nebraska, I would be getting nervous about now.

That is, if the BIG wants to "cap" membership at 16. It would be just like Notre Dame to suddenly decide they want into the BIG, now that one of their traditional west coast rivals, USC, is in the BIG fold. Add in greed, as the BIG is currently negotiating a huge new TV deal.
If that happened, who would most likely get the boot? Almost certainly, Nebraska. They have not brought much of value to the BIG in ANY sport since they joined. I can see a Nebraska / Notre Dame swap REAL easily.
Then, Nebraska is left to try and crawl their way back into the Big 12. I doubt that would be very well received by the ones they left behind years ago. The Cornshuckers would REALLY be in a pickle if they got booted out of the BIG to make room for the Fighting Lugubriouses.
