I wonder if the offense strategy, more designed QB runs, is why he's leaving. Thought he'd be willing to compete for the job this fall.

That'll cheese me. We're still the Huskers, at least get us on BTN.

Punter is too slow.

I can agree to disagree. Admittedly, I don't know what percentage is 3.5M against the NIL budget. That number doesn't seem outrageous compared to other numbers been rumored for top QB recruits.

So the way you're "answering" my question is that the money is there, but the allocation strategy doesn't work for Raiola.

Well, sure. Of course. My point was an implied question about how far behind is NU to UGA on the payment front, or is it something else.

Legacy #1 recruit? Absolutely! Its not just about him either, but who else he can influence to commit to NU.

Will suck if true that NU can't or won't match what UGA is offering.

What happened between last weekends visit and today that has caused NU to be out?

Whats the logic here?

From purely a fanbase and support perspective, I've always thought the NU football program was most like an SEC program - "it just means more". Ohio St has the only other B1G football program I'd firmly state the same about. Penn St might have an argument, and maybe UW is changing toward that direction with the Fickle hire. I'd put no other B1G football program in that category, including Michigan and the California new-comers.

I'm not willing to the research , yet I wonder the breakdown of what parts of the country those recruits resided. I suspect that snagging recruits from outside conference footprint is a lot less dramatic than those numbers indicate.

Me either

Youre correct that they would still need governance. However, NCAA rules have to account for all sports at all levels. I could see the top football/basketball conferences establishing their own governance outside the NCAA. The other sports could still reside under the NCAA umbrella.

Thought maybe this thread was going to be about an article suggesting less scholarships so the top talent is more spread out.

I don't know that I would use the Fiesta Bowl to support the 3-3-5. While TCU has made some plays Michigan has 38 points on em with almost a whole quarter left.

I'm happy to sign up for the tutorial.

I wasn't specifically referring to Green. Were you? I haven't heard much negative about Green's tenure in respect to the football program or sports as a whole.

Likely not the only thing he's judged on, but if you're having an impact on the program, especially a negative one...

Okay. Maybe "expectation" was the wrong word choice. Maybe "excitement" or "hopes" would've been better terms. But I'll own it, and throw it back... We've read about and seen Rhule's program development (Temple and Baylor) , and based on the players he's so far landed in a month on the job, why would you not have an expectation that he can resurrect this program in short order? short order = before season 4 resurrection = 9+ wins

If he can develop like we've all read about and continue to recruit at this level+, I don't think its too far-fetched to believe he can put a top 12 team out there by year 3.

This was me 40 years ago. While I was glad Alberts hired Rhule, I didn't have the same level of excitement like when Frost was hired. However, after reading and listening to the sound bites, and now seeing how his recruiting class panned out (plus the transfers), I'm probably more convinced than I should be at this point that we are going to see a legit resurrection of this program. I just need to keep my expectations in check for next season; would not be surprised if this is a playoff team in year 3 (maybe 2?).

Geez I hate twitter. LOL What is that supposed to mean? Is he sitting on the toilet thinking? Is he thinking of a brunette instead of blonde? Express what you mean, and mean what you express. /rant

"No s#!t" doesnt quite grasp how little I gleaned from this post. LOL
