"If it's just money, we can match or do better than anybody else," said Byrne. "If it's anything else, I think we're in better shape to get this thing done right than any of the other places that are bidding for the playoff."
There are questions, however, whether the Big 12 members would consider playing the game on a nonneutral field and the possibility of poor weather conditions in December in Lincoln.

"Nebraska opposes a playoff because we think the conference can get two teams in the Bowl Alliance, which would produce $17 million," Byrne said. "A playoff would probably reduce the Big 12 to one team in the Alliance, so a playoff would have to bring at least $8.5 million into the conference coffers."

The Bowl Alliance tries to match a national championship between No. 1 and No. 2, if possible, then Nos. 3 and 5, and Nos. 4 and 6, in the Orange Bowl, Fiesta Bowl and Sugar Bowl on a rotating basis.
Nebraska coach Tom Osborne agreed with Byrne's plan.
Byrne, who was in Dallas at Big 12 meetings, said he had heard nothing from the Big 12 that indicated the game could not be held in a member's stadium.

"No. 1, nobody else can say they've sold out 202 games in a row," he said. "That's a pretty good start right there, getting people in the stadium for a game."
"If we're going to have it, it might as well be here," he said. "I just don't see the numbers adding up in having a playoff. We're talking about two or three teams bringing in $24 million in the alliance, and with a playoff, you lose a big chunk of that in a hurry."

Coach says system won't be profitable
Nebraska dislikes Big 12 playoff
The Associated Press
In July, Big 12 commissioner Steve Hatchell said the conference was sending a committee to visit at least five sites that had bid to play host to a possible playoff between North and South division football
"I don't see why not," he said. "We can offer everything everybody else can offer. And as for weather, it's football. It can be played outside in any weather. Somebody said they wanted this game on primetime, but we could have the early afternoon game and the Southeastern Conference could be played at night, since they play in a dome in
LINCOLN, Neb. — Nebraska's first preference is not having a Big 12 football playoff, said NU athletic director Bill Byrne. Second preference is having a playoff in Lincoln starting in December 1996.

"We started talking about this three months ago because we know we could do it right," Byrne told the Lincoln Journal Star Tuesday. "It didn't matter that we were behind the others in submitting a bid. We think we can offer the best package deal, if there is a playoff."
Although the playoff has not been ratified by presidents of Big 12 schools, Hatchell investigated bids from Kansas City, St. Louis, Dallas, San Antonio and Houston. All of the Big 12 football coaches voted against a playoff, but conference athletic directors voted 11-1 to pursue a playoff plan. Nebraska alone voted "no".
The Big 12 playoff begin next year with the North Division of Nebraska, Colorado, Kansas, Kansas State, Iowa State and Missouri and the South Division of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech and Baylor.

Big 12 Conference sets football schedules
Games have been set for 1996,1997
The Associated Press
DALLAS — The Big 12 Conference, which begins competition in all sports in the 1996-97 academic year, has released the first two seasons' football schedules.
Commissioner Steven J. Hatchell joined Director of Athletics Committee chairman Bob Frederick of the University of Kansas on Tuesday in unveiling the tentative dates and sites.
However, the conference still hopes to announce that it will kick off the inaugural season with a Kansas State-Texas A&M contest on Aug. 31, 1996, in College Station, The Dallas Morning News reported in yesterday's editions.
The game is now scheduled for Oct. 19.
"There are just several small matters that need to be resolved."
Big 12 officials were to discuss yesterday recommendations for a proposed postseason playoff between the winners of the North (Colorado, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Missouri, and Nebraska) and South (Baylor, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas, Texas A&M, and Texas Tech).
Bob Frederick Kansas athletics director
Hatchell and Frederick noted that the Southwest Conference and Big Eight Conference champions in 1995 football will have automatic slots among the six-team Bowl Alliance in the Tostitos Fiesta, Nokia Sugar and FedEx Orange Bowls before additional contractual agreements take effect.
Next in line to receive future Big 12 members are the Cotton Bowl Classic, Plymouth Holiday Bowl, Builders Square Alamo Bowl, Jeep Eagle Aloha Bowl and Copper Bowl.
Frederick said the most discussion Tuesday was about football game administration policies such as ticket location for visiting teams, location of bands and the time schedule for distributing game administration policies.
"There were some football game issues that we hadn't thought about," he said. "Because of the long streak of sellouts at Nebraska
and the minimum number of tickets allotted to visiting teams, we looked at a 4,000 minimum for all Big 12 games.
"We also realize there are some special, mutual agreements at schools such as Texas and Texas A&M trading 15,000 tickets for their series. There are just several small matters that need to be resolved."
Basketball scheduling also received ample attention. The directors of athletics discussed ESPN's "Big Monday" telecasts for the conference and the necessity of moving some Saturday games to Monday and some Wednesday contests back to Monday to allow for top matchups.
The postseason basketball tournament already has been designated for Kansas City for both the 1996-97 and 1997-98 seasons.
Frederick said the 1996-97 basketball schedule should be resolved at a subsequent meeting.
Chiefs focus on recovering from side effects of 'Raiders week': losing due to exhaustion
The Associated Press
Kansas City's record for game after Raiders contest is 6-14 over the last 10 years
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — For the Kansas City Chiefs, now comes the hardest part of playing against the Oakland Raiders.
Perhaps because of emotional exhaustion, perhaps because of cuts and bruises that always accompany a tough game, the Chiefs have been
less than stellar immediately after what coaches and players call "Raiders week."
In the last 10 years, they're 6-14 the week after playing the Raiders. Last week's 23-17 overtime thriller, their second overtime win in a row, gave the Chiefs their 10th victory in their last 11 regular-season meetings against their archrivals. But it might also leave them in a particularly vulnerable spot heading into this week's game at Cleveland.
"Emotionally and physically,it's impossible to continue to perform at a very high peak."
Marty Schottenheimer Kansas City Chiefs head coach
The Chiefs are 3-0, but never in 35 years of competition have they been 4-0. Sixteen times, going back to the birth of the American Football League, they've started 3-1.
"If you go back the following week and go to work and do things in a businesslike, professional manner, it should not have an effect," Schottenheimer said Tuesday. "I can't even remember who we played after we played them."
And now they must confront that trend at the same time they're trying their best to follow coach Marty Schottenheimer's plea to forget about any so-called post-Raiders letdown.
Well, there was that 14-13 loss last year to San Diego, in which the Chiefs jumped to a quick 13-0 lead but hardly got a first down the rest of the
day. And there was the backset at home in 1993 to underdog Chicago.
The Chiefs, who had beaten the Raiders 31-20 the week before, were favored by almost two touchdowns against the Bears. But a 19-17 loss cost them home field advantage in the playoffs. While denying there is anything different about the Raiders, Schottenheimer admits highly emotional games can take a toll.
"There may in fact be something to that," he said. "I know that every week, you don't always perform at the same level. Emotionally and physically, it's impossible to continue to perform at a very high peak."
If ever the Chiefs seemed prime for a post-Raiders letdown, it's now. In addition to the usual hype, last week's victory came on a dramatic interception return in overtime.
Former Raider star Marcus Allen also hit a career milestone against his old team, and coaches Art Shell and Gunther Cunningham faced their old team as Chiefs' assistants for the first time.
"I don't think there's any question there's a tremendous amount of energy in that type of a game. And it's probably more emotional than physical," Schottenheimer said.
And if that isn't enough, it was the second straight week the Chiefs rallied in the fourth quarter and won in overtime.
"But I also think that if you have an ability intellectually to go back the next week and just focus on the things you know are important to continued success, it doesn't have to have a negative effect."
