So what defines a "real fan?" You can blindly support a team and enable the administration that has caused this debacle, or you can start voting with your wallets and purses and let it be known that the current state of Nebraska football is 100% unacceptable.
I love my daughter unconditionally and want her to grow up to be a responsible adult. That means there are consequences for her actions, and these are the result of my love for her.
In the same vein, if you love Cornhusker football and want it to succeed, you cannot support the current state of affairs at the University. There are a ton of fingers to point: Pelini is gone and Perlman is on his way out. That leaves Eichorst and Riley, and changes must be made. If Riley returns next year with an unchanged staff, you can rest assured that myself as well as many others in #huskernation are going to start holding this administration accountable by not blindly supporting poor choices with our donations, ticket sales, and merchandise sales.
