Unsurprisingly, Nebraska fans are calling for the team to find a replacement non-conference foe who is willing to play in Lincoln this Saturday.

BigTen has to say no to the latest Nebraska move.

Highly unlikely that the opponent would have been complying with the BigTen testing policies.
Also possible that the opponent could bring COVID19 to the Nebraska football team which is exactly what the BigTen wanted to avoid.
And realistically, what team has an open date AND would be willing to go to Lincoln with less than 48 hours of prep.

And what does it accomplish anyway.  They aren't going to the CFP and given their brand and fans they will go to a bowl game.

Correct.  Right down the line.
