Also, I would not be surprised if this was a coordinated effort and move with other parent groups and it was decided that players from other teams do not file suit because the chance of winning in those jurisdictions is not as high due to variety of factors, including laws of the state, political pressures, or allegiances. Similarly, if other players filed suit there is the possibility of split and different decisions (an Ohio court may find differently than a Nebraska court on this issue).

 

In the legal world this is known as forum shopping. 

Thanks for the great insight Mr Bugeater.  Good info!

We lived for a number of years in the bright sunlight at the pinnacle of college football.  The sun was always shining on the Huskers.

Then Tom retired and a few clouds began to pass through the sky.  Steve P, with all the accuracy of a third rate weather forecaster assured us the clouds would be blown away.

Then Callahan happened.  There were still a few rays of sunlight, but it got pretty cloudy a lot of the time.

Then Bo happened.  The sun seemed to shine a bit more, yet when the clouds came, they were all out prairie thunderstorms and tornadoes.

Then Smiling Mike came to town.  His smile and demeanor were all sunshine, with flavored sprinkles.  But the sunshine was a two-bit sun-lamp that burned out before it even began to shine.

Coach Frost came to town after a great deal of uncertainty and tumult.  The first game of his first season was literally wiped from the field by real storms in the night.  The clouds seldom parted after that first storm, but the forecasts were positive.

Scott's second year had the low level of clouds blow away only to reveal the storm cell was much broader and much deeper than imagined.  Slight improvement was seen, but the clouds continued to return to cover the sky in Lincoln.  What little light there was seemed to be overshadowed by lingering storms.

Then came COVID, the killer of seasons.  Truly, right now, the state of our football program is still not known.  Most of us have a strong confidence in the coach.  We have a combination of optimism mixed with decades long disappointments that make it hard to clear the sky.

I think this is as bad as it gets.  The darkest moments before the dawn.  When the clouds and covids are cleared away, I think the Huskers will come back into the light.

I joined when Bill Callahan was shredding this joint.  I lived through the wifi days and the Purge of 2015. I went up against FLU and Benard.

 

You got this, n00b.

I guess I am a noob here.  I did play in the message board when it was Huskerpedia, but that was a while ago.  Lots of opinions then too, but didn't seem to be the vitriol evident in here.  I suspect if there is a kickoff, the opinions will all go back to "who should be the next great quarterback".  One can hope.

There is an ignore function you can use i believe the instructions are in board feedback. I suggest it! 

I'll look into it.  A fella could wear out his keyboard trying to ignore those who are arguing though!

Goodness, I just joined a month ago.  Is it always like this?  Can there be some way to screen out the group of folks that just want to carry on flu epidemic arguments and let this section just talk about football?

Well dang...I know what this means.  My Fall "honey-do" list just got a lot longer.  Can I get my phone and computer to do an auto-reply to everything that simply says "Gone Fishin!"

Hello All!  GO BIG RED!

Just signed up looking for info.  Without having to read through 150+ pages of comments, what is the current hard news on football happening this Fall?

Thanks in advance.
