Nebraska has long wanted the rivalry game to resume.


The Big XII formation and setup essentially killed the rivalry by not having it played every year. There were ideas tossed around about playing it as a non-conference game in the off years, but Oklahoma didn't go for that. You are correct that schools need rivalry games and Nebraska hasn't had a real rival in over 20 years.

I'm not sure if Nebraska/Oklahoma could ever get back to the type of rivalry it was, when the game often decided the Big 8 Championship and Orange Bowl birth, but fans of both schools would love to try, as would the Nebraska athletic department. Nebraska would love to have Oklahoma in the Big 10+?.
