Why?  It isnt anything new. The only thing we get is negative since Osborne left. The media digs up this crap to create outrage among fans. Callahan and his throat slash, hillbillies, sucking in general, Pelini and his blow up, Riley and being beyond terrible and celebrations after losing. The media pumps this stuff out like candy and those who want to be outraged eat it up like Crack. This isn't new and is in no way unique to Frost.

It’s not unique but Frost was hired to right the ship.  He was the home run hire that was going to unite the program and change the culture.  I’m not sure it’s happened and that’s why some feel disappointment. 

Coach Frost has made numerous foot in mouth comments and made numerous head shaking decisions.  Outrage is probably too strong of a feeling to have but it should be okay for fans to feel disappointed in all the negative attention the program has received since the press conference of his hiring.  

Can’t say I’m a fan of the NCAA and their selective investigations but regardless of what other programs did, Nebraska, and the fans, have always prided themselves on doing things the right way.  We can’t point fingers when we get caught.

For any agreement or merger to work it will have to include freezing the SEC out of bowl games and championships. The SEC is taking the 2 Big 12 teams to try to solidify them getting as many as 4teams into the playoffs while the other 50 FBS schools will compete for the other 4.

Eh, that will play a part.  But there have been a ton of guys transfer every year that don't go to FBS programs for reasons that had nothing to do with extra eligibility.

I think budgets will play a big part.  I heard it directly from a college head coach during a football camp.  It will take time to shake out.

I actually think you will see a lot of guys not taking their extra year of eligibility over the next 3-4 years.  If they are deep on the depth chart, a lot will hang it up and get on with their lives.

Many will have to no matter what because there isn’t going to be room for all the transfers at the lower levels either

And, the vast majority of those won't find a home at an FBS program.

You’re correct because most FBS programs will be in the same situation.  It was great they received a year back, but it may not be where they want it to be when they are juniors or seniors 

Most university budgets are going to be able to keep every scholarship player that received a free eligibility year from last season.  The transfer portal will be overflowed for the next few seasons until it’s all flushed through.

Probably won’t see 4 groups of 16 teams unless there is a television deal that is equitable to all 4 groups.  No one wants the other 8 from the Big 12 because they don’t bring even half the money to the table that the current conferences distribute currently.  So if they add teams, each team in a conference would likely make less per year.  Just not going to happen without an NFL like broadcast deal.

If the Power 4-3/4 are going to start turning college football into NFL-Lite, they should start scheduling like it and do away with playing lower conference teams 

The Big Ten shouldn’t expand this time around.

It’s just very eye opening that the SEC has recognized what it will take to ensure games get played and their players stay on the field.

My comment about the SEC leading in vaccination efforts is not political.  Discussing Covid and vaccinations doesn’t have to be political when discussing how it can affect a team.  I agree the topic of joining the big 12 doesn’t fit the discussion 

Talking about Covid and vaccinations to how it potentially affects a football team playing a game or forfeiting isn’t political.  It’s the same as discussing strength and conditioning programs.

It does say a lot that the SEC is leading the charge in vaccinations.  They know what it will take to win.  Or at least eliminate a variable that could keep them from winning.

The ACC has a Grant of Rights contract for the next 15 years and ND is under contract with the ACC for that same 15 years that if they decide to join a conference, it must be the ACC.  

Huskers have averaged about one reach on OL every year for a while.  Unfortunately this probably isn’t the class to continue the tradition with such limited numbers 

If there is to be any expansion of teams in the B1G, leave Notre Dame out of the conversation.  They’ve had several invites and turned them all down.  Texas and Oklahoma joining the SEC in 4 years or less doesn’t change anything for them.

Fox Sports should get in the mix with the PAC-12 and Big Ten, maybe the remaining 8 of the Big 12 and do something big.  Have their own crossover games, bowl games, championships and let the SEC do their own thing.  See who will need who at the end.
