Has this story been confirmed by anyone beside Brett McMurphy?

If true I want them fired and hire matt campbell

Yes, by Urban Meyer's former WR coach.

This is an absolute weak sauce move but the math seems pretty simple:

1) Make more money for the athletic department and increase your chances of bowl eligibility in a season with an exceptionally tough conference schedule

2) Make less money for the athletic department and take an auto-loss to a team you know is out of your league.

This is a perception disaster but I see why they're doing it.

3) lose what's left of your fan base and watch revenue really tank especially when recruiting nosedives.

You're going to stop supporting Nebraska football if they don't go down to Norman to lose by 20?

Sipple said "Truth is, the report is valid." Guessing he'd already gotten wind of this, but was keeping his mouth shut.

I think a lot of people will, and it's not unreasonable.

I think everyone should pump the brakes until Nebraska releases a statement.  If anything, this past year should have taught us to take what the media says with a grain of salt.

It's on.

 

[Decked]

It's on.

God we are gonna get crushed and laughed at so bad

What if this is us just having a backup plan if the B1G won't let us play noncons again?

Usually Moos and Frost are pretty open and willing to take on a challenge. This seems completely out of character.

 

[suh_fan93]

Wow.  That was quite the ride.  Also a huge bumble by Moos.

 

[HuskerNBigD]

It's on.

Bout Damn Time.

Now I'll go grab my gear from the trash.

 

[ZRod]

It's on.

Man, I hate being right all the time.

 

[knapplc]

Or they're now trying to back out on the deal and scrambling to come to a settlement with Middle Directional State before stating the Oklahoma game is on as scheduled.

Man, I hate being right all the time.

I think my explanation is the most plausible.
