Omaha fan

Not a fan of people requiring others to think and act just like them or be labeled a “horrible person” . What happened to independent thought and expression? I was hoping we got past that after people criticizing the Middle East interventions (And in turn criticized for being non patriotic) were kinda proved right in my eyes anyways. If your league and area doesn’t want to play- go for it. Same if you want to play, your circumstances, your decision. Just don’t require me to pay for your choices if they were bad ones, no matter what they were.

Warren is in over his head. Unprofessional, unprepared and weak. He’s still way smarter than me , but I’m not the big 10 commish lol

Listened to kfab this am and the outdoors guy Greg Wagner? was on talking about the huge increases in hunting and fishing permits being bought. makes sense, I’m going to be watching and rooting for kstate less than 2 hours drive from Lincoln and home to an overachieving program with loyal fans. Snyder did a miraculous job and I hope they can continue to have some reasonable success now that he’s gone. It blows me away how they would regularly beat teams with much better players and way more money.

No worries, thought it was Amazing almost perfect direct correlation between who is playing football and who isn’t. If it needs to be nixed, So be it. My thought process is it seems like the leadership of the conference and the political leanings of the leagues geographic footprint seems to be a factor in who is playing and who is not playing. The map was kind of compelling. The university presidents seem to be mirroring perfectly the political leanings of their respective states. One type of majority in a state consistently doesn’t want to play and the other side when in a majority in a state consistently wants to play. Interesting stuff. Utah not surprisingly is the outlier in the pac nebraska and Indians are the outliers in the Big10 (Nebraska not really because we voted to play) . With Iowa, Michigan, Iowa and Wisconsin on the fence. southeast, big 12 and acc are all perfectly aligned across the board, with just Virginia and Boston college as an outlier

There are 3 p5 conferences still scheduled to play a fall season this year. Why can they play but we can’t? Blame the Chinese? The government? Mean non maskers? Protesters/ looters? What can Be done right now that is in Someone’s power to get football being played this fall? Without having to convince people that the data clearly shows the risk to healthy college age kids is nearly nonexistent and for them less dangerous than the flu. The answer comes partly from thought leadership, planning and communication. Mr Warren hasn’t shown it. Part may also go to political leanings in different areas. A map of red and blue states pretty much correlates to who is playing football this season and who isn’t- the tie states are in heavy red. In some parts of the country football is important, in others it isn’t so much. https://www.nytimes.com/elections/2016/results/president

How many players other than maybe jaimes have the resume to be drafted without playing this season? Which Nebraska seniors get drafted with no season? The number of seniors who don’t get a lot of playing time and drop is very very small. Most drop before senior year. Weve seen in the past with solich, pelini and Riley what one poor recruiting class can do to a team in a 4 year stretch. Just imagine what a 5-7 player recruiting class would do to a team in the middle of a Major rebuild like nebraska? Year 1 was patched together. Year 2-3 got better, but you can’t build a solid team in college football with 50 kids and 2 recruiting classes.

We only have 85 scholarships. How do we even add anyone this season and stay under 85 If all the players are given another year? Alabama and Clemson aren’t going to agree to let Ohio state have 105 kids on scholarship? Adding one year to all the players eligibility directly impacts the team and roster numbers for the immediate following 4 years. Only if zero players are added in a recruiting cycle are you able to stay under 85. And if it somehow goes to 105, then per title ix you have to add more money losing women’s sports teams. If we can’t add anyone this year we won’t have a senior class one season and gap in upper class men another. these are 18 year old kids who will be told by sec and big 12 recruiters that viruses will come again. Do you want to play in a conference that plays through it or shuts down? 99 percent of 18 year old kids will say play thorough it. Perception and reality on this one are the same.

If Kevin Warren wasn’t responsible for the big10 not having their protocols and processes in place To play this fall should there be a season, whose responsibility was it? Who other than Kevin was supposed to get that done in the last 5 months? Should that have been the Omaha world herald? University of Iowa? Me? My mom? Kevin’s dog? His secretary? The cafeteria bus boy? Who is supposed to do that?? Who can we pin it on? Who is responsible for laying out what spring football will look like and how it will be handled safely ? So the players have something they can legitimately look forward to working towards and playing? Nothing, zilch has been communicated because no work had been put into it. This talk about just being a figurehead is baloney, Jim Delaney led from the front. He put forth his opinion and made things happen, he wasn’t just a ballot counter. Warren was a two faced empty suit at his previous job and I’m not impressed with him at all where he is now.

Exactly Like me working all day then mowing my yard in the dark when I get home because none of the kids would mow all week Better yet- bought 30-40 trees for a public school project to plant around campus. The public school lean on your shovel guy who was supposed to plant them couldn’t find the time. So on my lunch hour in my suit and tie, I planted 10-12 of them, dress shoes and all. they were all planted the next day. It works, you don’t get mad, you just do it

The cold hard facts are healthy college age kids simply are not dying of Covid 19 The chances of. College age kid dying in a car accident is 50x more than dying of COVID-19. so if the standard is zero then please ban all auto use. Life is full of risks and the minuscule risk COVID-19 is to these kids pales in comparison to the response. Those that want to play let them. Those that don’t want to, honor their scholarships and let them distance learn. https://data.cdc.gov/NCHS/Provisional-COVID-19-Death-Counts-by-Sex-Age-and-S/9bhg-hcku

Warren totally botched this. They come out with a revised schedule a week ago then, Cancel the fall schedule for a tentative spring Season that will never happen?Then we find out there are no detailed processes and protocols in place ? To the college football world- The big10 looks like it doesn’t care about football. I get the pac 10 doesn’t, California, Oregon, Washington, Colorado etc While our footprint isn’t the bold Hard red of the sec or the big12, we aren’t left coast bright blue either.

There is zero chance a spring season happens. Warren just kicked the can down the road to preclude us and others from playing in the fall. If player safety is a legit concern, no chance the kids play 20 plus games in 10 months https://sports.yahoo.com/urban-meyer-no-chance-spring-222112075.html

Exactly Warren just set the big 10 back a decade. The huge recruiting grounds where they take football seriously, won’t consider big10 teams: florida georgia texas louisiana Heck forget about 500 mile radius also, with big 12 teams playing : iowa kansas missouri oklahoma Only blue state where they aren’t playing with good number of kids is California and we’ve been going more south than west of late. I can stay closer to home and be sure to play or I can go north and maybe yes, maybe no. Imagine an 18 year old mind trying wrap their head around that. I’m working my a$$ off to get ready for a season that I have no clue if or when it’s going to start. Doesn’t matter how good the coaches are at motivating, that dog doesn’t hunt when a kid is 1,000 miles from home and your buddies are all playing on television !! Man they had 5 months and never thought this through

Bill moos did an outstanding job during this interview. He spelled out the process Nebraska officials used to put protocols in place. Without criticizing the Big10 he laid out why he and frost took the positions they did. Very well thought out, professional and reasonably diplomatic. Seems ridiculous, Nebraska would be slammed and threatened to be removed from the conference just because we wanted to play football. Meanwhile penn state, Michigan state, Iowa and Maryland were part of pretty nasty scandals and got off with just wrist slaps.

Nebraska nets up about $14,000,000 per year more to the athletic department thanks to Jim Delaney and the btn tv deal. However we only got partial shares early on. My guess is we are upside down on the calculation thanks to this years big loss. Im as pissed as anyone about how Warren and the big10 responded to this. But with what the big10 brings to the university academically and research wise, there is zero chance we are going anywhere. It is what it is https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.forbes.com/sites/davidching/2018/04/17/big-tens-rights-deal-threatens-to-widen-financial-gap-between-even-the-biggest-conferences/amp/

This is why Brohm and Day came out with detailed plans this week on how to conduct a spring season. Since it’s obvious Warren isn’t going to plan or the dog keeps eating his homework, it’s up to others to do his work. The coaches in the conference. Maybe this board could do his work for him and come up with a detailed plan?

Warren is untouchable, he is the next one in line to run the nfl. In today’s climate, consider him made of Teflon. Listening to moos last night was great. Nebraska did an outstanding job of preparing protocols to safely get through the season. According to moos Nebraska could have wrote the book on how to do so. Warren and the big10 had nothing in place, had no intentions of even trying to put a season together. Im very proud of how Nebraska handled this and tried to make it work. Frost and moos played the only cards we could play. At the end, we did what we had to do, smiled and with a wink and a nod, with our fingers crossed behind our back, said we would support the conference.

We all know spring football was a poison pill to keep teams from playing games in the fall and will never happen. Spring isn’t happening either, 20 plus games in 10 months isn’t happening. Assuming the sec, big 12 and acc play at least a part of their schedule, how does this effect the 85 limit and recruiting? If all the kids who didn’t play this season are given an extra year of eligibility how would we be able to add any new recruits come national signing day? If we had a class of 20, that would put us at 105. I’m not guessing the sec, acc and big 12 teams will think it’s fair to allow the pac and big 10 teams to have over 100 scholarship kids on roster. And if the number is increased, title ix would require more women’s sports teams being added at a time when schools are broke. Its not a one year fix either since all 85 kids will most likely be given another year of eligibility. Expect to see the Nebraska recruits getting very anxious and looking to jump to sec, big12 and acc teams, that would for sure have open spots. Warren has led very poorly with not having the protocols in place and the numbers thing is a complete mess, not a fan.
