Maybe he's just worried the offense will continue to struggle, and he will feel like he's on the field the whole game. He would have good reason to feel this way.

I think we need to give up the idea of Manning being a meaningful presence for Nebraska. I mean, the signs are all there. We've been "friend-zoned" and he's just stringing us along...

^^^So much this.

My expectation is that I will be very disappointed again.

It's too bad to lose such an athlete, but if he's sticking to QB, it's really not much of a loss. AND, it opens the door to get a good QB to Nebraska, so it may end up being a net positive.

100% sincere "best of luck" to Wandale. He gave his all while he played for Nebraska and I hope he finds success in the future.

Neither did your user name.

No, I'm saying they should continue to fight hard and play games to improve the program and represent their university to the best of their ability.

Optics are bad IMO. File lawsuits to play, then decline a final game when the season hasn't gone your way.... Disappointing.

I'm personally highly biased, as I transferred for athletic reasons, but I don't see the transfer portal as that big of a deal. People change and learn a lot fresh out of high school. I don't think signing an NLI should start some sort of prison sentence where you HAVE to stay at any certain school. As for paying athletes, it's hard to believe that it won't become some sort of slippery slope that fundamentally changes college athletics. I think it would be particularly helpful for Nebraska, so selfishly I'm OK with it, but I'm not sure that it will be a good thing for college athletics as a whole.

I'm almost embarrassed by how hard I laughed at this.

I certainly don't have a worse idea.

I thought I read that for this year (only) the primary deciding factor is the # of losses, not the # of wins. Anybody read the rules directly?

This reminded me of TMagic speed where it looks like the opposing players are in slow motion.

Feels good. Feels REAL good.

Meh, college kids aren't known for their level headed altruistic decision making skills

Lol. Poor Bo.

Because it neatly fits his narrative?

At this point, would anybody REALLY be surprised by this?

I have no idea as to how it would benefit the B1G to be against Nebraska's success in football. We are, despite Hawkeye fan objections, a premium football brand. It would greatly benefit the entire conference if we rose to a perennial top 10 or even 20 team. I have no doubt that we're headed that direction and that SF will take us there. He's sacrificed the first couple of years of his tenure in terms of instant success, in order to build a stronger foundation for much bigger success down the road. However, it's getting more and more difficult to look past some of these things.

I think the real play was to force the big 10 to say "no" again. By doing so, Nebraska puts themselves in an interesting position with the B1G. 4d chess or simple frustrated defiance? Thinking beyond the current power 5 structure? Is the separation of power 5 football and the NCAA near? How does this help Nebraska? The odds of it actually happening were very slim so there has to be another reason.

Like I said, they scared.

They scared.

Click bait. Disregard.

My primary concern is that more of the team may also test positive forcing a cancellation of the game. It might be nice to get WI without their emerging star QB, but I'd rather play them with Mertz than not play them at all.
