The money to pay another school has to come from somewhere. I'm sure there is a rainy day fund (pun intended) but the football team and athletic dept operate on a budget so its not as easy as just writing a check to another team. Nebraska isn’t going to go under because of this, I assure you Quote Link to comment

They wanted to play, these guys all want to play. The Akron AD was not sitting up in his ivory tower holding his cat and stroking his moustache while laughing. I bet he was rubbing his Goatee aggressively though. 2 Quote Link to comment

He isn't going to show up in the blockbuster movies but he probably owns a swivel chair and a cat... 1 Quote Link to comment

Pay them whatever we agreed to and remain on good terms with Akron and all future teams we're trying to schedule. It makes no sense to be miserly and have the subsequent bad press for ridiculous and unnecessary penny-pinching. Why even risk diverting attention from the good vibes and coverage we're getting right now? Quote Link to comment

That's EXACTLY where i would want my team to sleep the night before a game What I told people that babbled this type of nonsense, was “would you be fine with NU sleeping on cots or in dorm rooms in Ann Arbor??” Usually ended the conversation quickly. And my god the excuses and bitching from some of NU got four hours of sleep before a road game would’ve been comedy gold for years 2 Quote Link to comment
TheSker Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 It's over and done now. The only part I found "interesting" was Akron leaving seemed to catch Moos off guard. It would seem instead of dialing around to find possible hotel availability, Akron would have asked for Nebraska athletics assistance with that as a first step. Quote Link to comment

I still don't understand how Moos and the other AD didn't have a contingency plan when they knew about the weather for a week! It's just an embarrassing lack of foresight. 2 Quote Link to comment

They expected a delay but not one that lasted eight hours. Not embarrassing. Just pretty bad luck. 2 Quote Link to comment

No it's embarrassing that you didn't have a plan in place for a total cancellation. The weather said thunderstorms from 6pm until Midnight starting the Sunday before. 2 Quote Link to comment

No one makes plans to displace 90,000 people based on the chance on thunderstorms a week from now. 1 Quote Link to comment
