I no longer recall the exact timeline/sequencing, but there was a time when Missouri (!!) looked like it was going to be left out of the Power5 due to conference shakeups, and there was a time when it looked like Texas was headed to the Pac12. So Nebraska was in a shaky, unstable conference before their move.

Point is Nebraska left for both $$ AND stability. For a period it looked like a game of musical chairs and the likes of Mizzou, Pitt and Louisville were on the outside looking in.
