There is a serious and national debate about the compensation of blue chip college athletes. And it is one that will eventually end up, I believe, in drastic changes to the current system, and rightfully so.

The real reason NFL players are broke Fox news.com https://www.foxbusiness.com/personal-finance/nfl-players-bankrupt-personal-finance Players are paid in lump sums, and if NCAA cared then the 2.5 GPA would have to be in finance.

Making Dedrick Mills get a 2.5 GPA in order to participate in the nation's only real NFL Farm system makes as much sense as you having to demonstrate how to tie a bowline knot on your sneakers to go to work at the Walmart Distribution center. Or me having to show that I can wipe my arse with a hula hoop before I can get my drivers license. It makes no sense. What would make sense is to cut the student athlete crap for the real blue chippers and start paying them what they're due, if you care about them so much. What's worth more: interest on $200,000 for life or a 2.5 years of course work in PE with a 2.5 GPA.

Why the hell do we still have this pretentious system where we masquerade future NFL athletes as scholars? Does the young man need a 2.5 GPA to average 4.3 ypc in the NFL? Does anyone think he genuinely is coming to Div I in order to obtain a quality degree for the rest of his life? Hell no, he is coming here to hopefully get to the next level and the U's only desire of him is to make money for the U.

They had Jake the Snake right?

I wish someone would do a study: Iowa vs. Iowa St. versus the spread (game prediction) to see if there is any real value within a team for a rivalry. IE if a team is your heated rival, do you really do any better against the spread against them than against everyone else.

Nebraska 2019 spring game attendance: 85,946 Wisconsin 2019 spring game attendance: 0 ...maybe the fans know who is the REAL BIG RED!

Well, somebody's gotta call somebody out or the party don't get started!

I think soon it will be Nebraska and Wisconsin in the West and then everyone else. Scott Frost has won a title at NU. He will have the opportunity to do so again.

You pointed out that Iowa has beaten Nebraska recently several times. So I guess that makes them our chosen rival? To most NU fans I know, Iowa is not our real rival. They are another tough team on the schedule, and the schedule is full of them. To me the rival is Wisconsin. They're calling us the little brother in the west and saying they're the Real Big Red. There's the rubber match Big10 championship where they embarassed us. There are multiple reasons to have special animus for Wisconsin. What has Iowa done to us other than win some close games while we were down?

If you think we have been a tough opponent in the last 5 years then you are delusional.

The only way Iowa would ever be a rival in my mind would be if they hired Bill McCartny, Eric Bieniemy, and had Barry Switzer shooting free runzas from a t shirt cannon. When Iowa starts playing as tough as their fans smell then I will believe it.

I'd like McCaffrey to get a year of Husker S&C and scout team work under his belt, to add some maturity, and durability, then turn him loose.

the music was terrible too, an uninspired dated mishmash of jams you would hear on a 90's thru 2000's station. We recently attended an IFL game and the music was all new NEW rap and hip hop which was pretty cool and the players dug it. They kept it pumping. And Memorial needs another set of huge speakers on the South. Be the best or quit trying.

YES!!!

yeah like Bill, how did it feel to go 0-9 against me?

I was a big Bo fan, still kind of am, but it turns out that his temper issues or perceived issues started to become bigger than the team. It got to where all the TV cameras watched was Bo. It was no longer right that he should be the face of the Husker program. Also it seems that as a HC he was a little over his head right? It seemed that when he gave Paps the D and tried to be a manager the team became a mess. And I never thought that the Offense was anything close to where it should have been in terms of straight up competence, complexity, identity. We had one identity: Tmagic with a limp. Not Good. Man, what TO could have done with TMagic. Frazier, Gill, Crouch: T Mart's burst or cut through the line was faster than all of them. His Kstate run looked honestly like Thurman Thomas on Tecmo Bowl, except for real. (as in Did I just see that?!) Bo is/was an outstanding D coach, when it is HIS D, and he has HIS guys. Watch out. But thats it. A D Coordinator. Not the Husker HC. And I still like him.

Regarding the Solich firing as it happened...in retrospect, after how everything has played out: probly over 20 fired coaches, an entire program of championship football knowledge lost to the wind, multi-million dollar buyouts, an entire generation of Husker fans coming of age and really never knowing what it was like to be relevant... It seems to me that the Solich firing, as it happened, when it happened was probably not the right thing to have happened. One wonders if things had been done differently, where our program would be now: would it have fallen so far, or become so wayward.

this game only comes down to four things. Blocking, tackling, and CTE.

Well thats what I heard...

We don't have the clout to do it. It would result in us probably never making the playoff, and losing national respect. If Texas ever leaves the Big 12 It might make sense to go back there.

true dat

I don't know why the University has to get involved in a players private criminal matters. So like after reading the article, you read things like " arrange an interview with", and referred "Bruning to the athlete" etc . What the hell. It should be like this: Hi this is California calling, we need to talk to your stud running back about some possible felonies. Nebraska: OK his dorm room number is #XYZ and phone number is blah blah , and please ask him to call us if he is going to be extradited. These are grown a$$ free men. They aren't a protected class nor are they property of the University. They are not in the Army, there are no special protections.

I don't think they should get rid of him. Unless the new kid turns out to be a hell of a back, then who cares. Kick him let him thumb back to Cali.
