husker_fan_from_sweden Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 "The wheels are in motion for NU's bye week to become successful on the recruiting trail. Recruiting coordinator Ross Els talks goals, strategy,and maybe even a little help from rap icon Jay-Z over the next few months. That plus much more inside the Bye week recruiting breakdown here." The Jay-z part? No. Just No. Last person on earth I want associated with NU besides Callahan 1 Quote Link to comment
kchusker_chris Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 he's an agent (not sure about NFL) - so kinda odd that he'd be involved in anything w/ the university Quote Link to comment
jmfb Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 The only thing they were talking about was having the kids attend his concert and IF they could apply the legally approved funds to a concert ticket and if it wasnt enough the kids pay the difference. In this day and age, sounds like a very good thing to do and Im not a fan of the music. You are moving to Lincoln NE There are things to do here that kids that age like to do, which is what some schools use to recruit against NU Sounds like a winner Quote Link to comment
husker_fan_from_sweden Posted September 27, 2013 Author Share Posted September 27, 2013 Without getting too political or too far down the slippery slope it would be equivelent to Notre Dame trying to get recruits to attend a Miley Cyrus MTV music awards show. Anyone with their head on straight knows what Jay-z is all about. Quote Link to comment

Not really No recruits are interested in seeing Miley Cyrus or would equate Lincoln being "cool" if Miley was in town Quote Link to comment
BIG ERN Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Jay-Z is a top 5 rapper of all-time. I'm willing to bet 90% of the kids on our team like his music. 5 Quote Link to comment

Enhance Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Look at it this way - maybe Jay-Z could help get one of our players a $305 million dollar NFL contract. Quote Link to comment

Keep your hands off Randy Gregory! It's bad enough he already signed Jadeveon Clowney. Quote Link to comment

I have witnessed debauchery at epic levels at a Kenny Chesney concert, I've seen boobs at a Toby Keith concert, and I've seen "smoke" at a Willy Nelson concert. To hell if any of their kind have the audacity to put on another show in our state...Some uptight "Nebraskans" need to get over themselves... Quote Link to comment
The King Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 So... Lets tell our players that we don't support a successful black man because he has "character issues" (not entirely sure what you speak of here) and that they can't go to a Jay Z concert, something that would obviously benefit our recruiting, because of it. Sounds smart. Quote Link to comment

That would broaden their horizons and keep them away from that other horrible music. Quote Link to comment

Sounds smart. I never once mentioned the color of his skin. They make *** holes of every skin color. I don't think he is the right role model for young people. You may disagree with me but look at what the guy promotes. Quote Link to comment
