Players to meet Tuesday afternoon

Nebraska football players will gather at 4 p.m. Tuesday. But Tim Cassidy, NU’s director of football operations, cautioned fans and media not to read too much into it.
Cassidy told the Journal Star on Monday that players will vote for the team MVP, discuss academics and the team’s annual banquet.
“We would be doing this whether there were a coaching change or not,” Cassidy said. “There’s nothing significant, other than we always come together at the end of the season.
“We want a good pulse on the kids. We want to make sure they’re handling their business as well.”
All current players, including this year’s seniors, received text messages on Monday afternoon from Cassidy inviting them to attend.
This will be the first chance for the team to get together since Saturday’s firing of Bill Callahan.
“I just assumed, because everyone wasn’t able to get together (Saturday), that they’d bring us together one more time,” said senior linebacker Bo Ruud. “I haven’t heard if it’s a coach or anything like that.”
