The_Fan_Man Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 This might be a stupid question but couldn't we circumvent these restrictions by restarting our junior varsity program? Probably not since the reason we cut our JV team in 1991 because the NCAA restricted the amount of football coaches. Quote Link to comment

But I don't think having a JV program would be allowed. I think the most teams will get is possibly some sort of practice squad that would let you have players to elevate to the 105-man roster in case of a season-ending injury. But that might just be wishful thinking on the part of the coaches. Quote Link to comment

I think all of this roster cap talk is pointless since it will almost certainly get slapped down in court just like all the other rules to limit athletes have been. Until there's a collective bargaining agreement, none of his matters. 1 Quote Link to comment
krc1995 Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 I don’t really understand the purpose of the roster cap. Is it to make sure every player is on scholarship for equal payment purposes? And what about red shirts. Do they still exist? Do they count towards the cap? Quote Link to comment

To the best of my understanding, schools are wanting to limit the numbers for revenue sharing. It would seem that redshirts would still be a thing and they would count towards the cap. 1 Quote Link to comment

Why wouldn’t they try a different division? School is crazy expensive now. NIL is covering the tuition for most of the walk ins currently at Nebraska. At least the PWO guys anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted November 18 Share Posted November 18 I put the number at 50+ for Nebraska. 1 Quote Link to comment
Decoy73 Posted November 18 Share Posted November 18 It sucks for moderately to pretty good HS players who love their state team, but in the long run this may help us. It's somewhat of an equalizer, but mainly because I don't see how anything can hurt us (more) at this point. Seriously, though our NIL and HC (I still have faith in Rhule) will get us over flash in the pan schools like Indiana and those with lesser NIL. We're going to kick some portal a$$ this offseason.

I don't think there are many "moderately good" high school players who get to be a walk on at Nebraska. But I'm curious how many players we typically turned away from the walk on program.

TonyStalloni Posted November 27 Share Posted November 27 It would seem to me that the 45 kids we will no longer have on the roster will end up at non power Four schools, Div 2 schools, junior college or even NAIA colleges. If they thrive they can always enter the portal and get back to Nebraska. Quote Link to comment
