In 1988 the football team went through a brutal rebuilding year and Joe Paterno suffered his first losing season going 5-6. It worked well with Penn State playing in the national championship game in 1985 and returning to win it all in 1986. Penn State managed to land their non-football sports in the Atlantic 10 conference and remained an independent in football for several years. (Syracuse, Pitt, and Boston College continued playing football as independents.) Penn State was left to wander through the wilderness on its own. Penn State petitioned to join the league, but the Big East didn't think their basketball program was up to their standards and they didn't want to be associated with football. Syracuse and Boston College felt their future was better served in basketball, so they joined the Big East and then coaxed Pitt to come along. But issues over revenue sharing couldn't be worked out.

Football was paying the bills, but the entire department was at risk of collapse if the football team ever fell on hard times.

Adding a twelfth member should have happened 15 years ago, but it's finally here and now we are on the cusp of a new and exciting era of divisional play and Big Ten championship games. They are a tremendous program with a proud tradition. The addition of Nebraska has been universally praised by everyone, and rightfully so. We look forward to working with our colleagues at UNL in the years ahead.' The extensive and in-depth discussions my colleagues and I have had about Big Ten expansion permitted us to act expeditiously and prudently on the application submitted by Nebraska. 'We believe Nebraska is an extraordinary fit, reflecting the criteria we established at the beginning of the process - high academic quality, competitiveness, cultural compatibility and fiscal responsibility. 'By unanimous vote, the Big Ten Presidents and Chancellors are pleased to welcome the University of Nebraska-Lincoln to the Big Ten Conference,' said COP/C Chair and Michigan State President Lou Anna K. Just about every university president, athletic director, and football coach released a statement praising the decision, which was approved by unanimous vote of the Big Ten presidents and chancellors.
