Oregon was first tho. Were they not?

Northwestern University fought the petition by saying its players are students and not employees.
But the board's decision indicates that there was enough evidence presented that the athletes are employees of the university -- getting paid in the form of scholarships, working between 20 and 50 hours per week and generating millions of dollars for their institutions.

Dummy here. Please explain "committee" selection, in particular, bubble thing. Hand-picked humans? Computer formulas? Sportscasters groups? Polls? I admit ignorant for bracket seeds. Myself, worst than BCS ..... more controversy.
It is a group of ADs and conference commissioners. Interestingly Creighton's AD is on the committee.
Heres the rest:
Joe Alleva, director of athletics, Louisiana State University;
Scott Barnes, director of athletics, Utah State University;
Doug Fullerton, commissioner, Big Sky Conference;
Mark Hollis, director of athletics, Michigan State University;
Judy MacLeod, executive associate commissioner, Conference USA;
Ron Wellman, director of athletics, Wake Forest University;
Jamie Zaninovich, commissioner, West Coast Conference.
What it would do is kill any chance of NU-CU meeting in the first round assuming the seedings matched up.
ZERO CHANCE. The moon has better chance a falling out of the sky and landing in Holmes lake. First all CU will be 2 or 3 seed, neb will not be a 14/15 seed more like 11 seed. Second they won't have them playing in the first round, the committee will save that for a 2nd or 3rd matchup.
but.. the moon can't fit in holmes lake.

either way, just win

I don't think the point of getting rid of it really applies to us....
we're one of the few places that pack the stadium during the spring game. it brings lots of revenue from an administrative standpoint, pretty obvious from a fan standpoint, and from a coaches point of view its a great way to show the fan base off to recruits. plus I think it gives you a unique look at your players and how they perform "under the lights" to a certain degree.

i'm callin false hopes. i dont think we get in...

Nebraska fans have been here before.
Big victory. High expectations. Big letdown.
Rinse, repeat.
Why should this time be any different? Why shouldn’t fans be nervous and scared when Penn State and Purdue and their plus-100 RPIs come to Lincoln this week?
Tim Miles is the biggest reason.

My status update on this was an obvious joke. I'm one of the most progressive people around. I give the guy credit for being willing to be the human shield for the people that may follow him someday. The status was removed immediately. I meant no harm and hope no one was offended. People can live their lives in any way they choose. I am not one to judge others.
it was in all of our heads. i wanted to see it as much as i didn't want to see it. so this will do.
i didnt see the joke but i can assume.

If it was was truely a landmark moment in the progression of society, then it wouldnt even be a story. That's the point. The fact that's it's being talked about means that there are still strong opinions on both sides of the coin. That's my issue with it, when it should just be another ho hum day for the guys. That's what I'm gettin at.
You can't even be surprised that this is a big moment in sports history. I don't even know what you're saying about if it was truly a landmark moment it wouldnt be a story. That makes no sense to me but whatevs. I can appreciate your attitude on this tho.
Thats like if Rosa Parks sat on the bus and then everyone was like "Oh, I guess they're equal.... carry on." Doesnt work like that.
That's the deal. It's hard for me to put my thoughts on it into words. The misunderstanding of my stance was pretty expected. But it seems like you understand where I'm coming from. No, i'm not surprised about, i just dont understand why it is. But it is what it is.
yeah I hear ya

Is it wrong for me to think it's frickin idiotic that this is even a story? Because I do. Who gives a damn? Really. But I guess it's still where a lot of people are. God forbid we address REAL issues.
I understand where you are coming from, and generally share in your progressive attitude that all people are equal.
but you're kind of puting the wagon before the horse here. if you don't think that this is landmark and a big moment for sports (regardless of other sports who have had players come out) then you are mistaken. there is a LOT of future stuff that this will dictate, its probably not completely possible to fathom it all quite yet.
Furthermore, this is a huge dynamic for an nfl team to consider regardless of on the field play. will this PARTICULAR situation have many headaches? probably not... the guy seems to have his head on straight (no pun) and be about football.... the relationships that he has built at missouri seem to work in his favor also. but take him out of it.... there may be lots and lots of NFL players who arent mature enough to deal with something like this quite yet. all things considered, there are outside issues to deal with, especially being the FIRST to publicly deal with it. The outlook is that this will be something that will be a part of life for every NFL team at some point in the future. That doesnt take the headache out of for the first NFL team to draft a gay player. LIke it or not, it adds uncertainty to the situation, and you wouldn't be good at what you do if you are an nfl coach/exec that didn't seriously weigh the factors of going after him as worth it or not.
