Nebraska may win four NCAA championships in a row. Odds are against it but Nebraska has the talent. As I understand it the three players enrolling in the spring semester can participate fully in team practices but won't be eligible to play in the spring season. Nebraska really doesn't need them this year.

Viewership is far from SEC, but the opinion of most PAC-12 fans is a much better deal could be had. Yes one good example would be to make a deal with directTV but PAC-12 management refuses to negotiate in good faith. They are delusional about what they think the football product is worth.

The PAC-12 has a horrendous tv deal. The PAC-12 management should be pushed out and look for a better deal. I don't what that would be but anything is better than the status quo.

As a Stanford and PAC-12 fan I could see Cal Berkeley doing away with football. Right now their athletic department is under water financially and most people in the administration are not football advocates. Stanford is never going to be a top 25 team again. Jim Harbaugh's ability to recruit will not be replicated. Stanford loses out too often for elite players due to admissions. But even if Stanford becomes a PAC-12 cellar dweller I don't see the sport being eliminated. It is the only money maker in the Athletic Department. If they do away with football all sports would have to be eliminated and I can't see that happening.

What is the Nebraska team planning to do the rest of the year in regard to practice? It seems most teams are uncertain at this point. FWIW, Stanford has its WVB players currently housed in a hotel near campus. All the players voted to stay on campus and practice throughout the balance of the year. At the moment the NCAA position is teams can practice without restrictions. When classes start in mid September the team is moving on campus to live in a "pod" whatever that means. Changing subjects, I looked at the Football thread. It is the same as the Stanford football thread which is nothing but endless bickering about Covid-19 and how to deal with it. Charles

Nebraska 2021 could be the best recruiting class ever in college volleyball. Nebraska is a very desirable destination for the sport of women's volleyball. The fan base is the best. As a Stanford fan I love when the team plays at Nebraska. I made the trip twice from Cali and the fans were as respectful and polite as anywhere in the nation. I would add this. Stanford this year has five players ranked in prepvolleyball's top ten. They aren't all from the same class. Having said that I don't expect Stanford to be in the top ten AVCA poll this season if there is a poll. Charles Anderson
