NIL and Farming States

[817 Boxing B]

So... somebody pondered why an old blueblood like Nebraska isn't more aggressive when it comes to player acquisition and NIL...? I'm just curious to see what you guys think?

Well they tried to be and successfully landed Dylan Railoa and were very active in trying to get Michael Terry III.  I think if Nebraska had been more successful last year with Rhule they would have been able to sustain that momentum.

Nebraska hasn’t been a player in the last 20 plus years.

The Big 10 desperately needs more of its schools to step up, Nebraska included.

Nebraska is a victim of being in a state with ZERO talent and bordered by states with equally low talent. They are also a victim of demographics too.

They caught lightning in a bottle when they had Dr Tom Osborne as their longtime HC. And Bob Devanney before Osborne. Under those two NU was a juggernaut for decades.

It's another example of a university having the right guy in place... and then comes a succession of wrong HCs and all the warts underneath the surface that were hidden pop up again and the whole program grinds to a halt. We've seen it in Austin before.

Here's hoping Coach Sark can keep Texas rolling for a long time...

Hook 'Em!
