It’s time to do it. The University of Nebraska football team and university should file paperwork to become a fully “professional” program.
Forget the Big Fourteen. Forget the impotent NCAA. Forget trying to make it look like major college football players are “amateurs”. Time to stop the pretending.
Football players have already won the right to earn money from their likeness. I’m sure they would like to earn even more. The program “going pro” would make that happen.
How do you do it? They would not play games anymore against “amateur” programs who keep wanting to keep that old dying model going. The Huskers would play against other “professional” programs. You already know who they are. The major SEC schools. The top Big Fourteen programs. The top Big 12 and Pac 12 programs. Yes, the long-awaited “Super Conference” except that now they declare themselves full-fledged professional programs at the university level. Whatever schools that want to become professional become your opponent schedule.
Oh, but this takes away from the old-school tradition? That innocence of a simpler time is gone and not coming back. It was nice and we have lots of good memories. But time marches on and The Virus is not waiting to further take a wrecking ball to what our lives used to be.
The huge money made by major college football programs is too necessary and addicting to go without. Waiting for consensus from conference bureaucrats and others is too confusing and paralyzing. Too many cooks in the kitchen and no one knows what the recipe is.
Break free. Go your own way. Become pros representing the State of Nebraska and its major university. In a few weeks, nobody will even notice. New memories will be made. Really, is any true Husker fan going to stop being a fan if the program went pro?
There’s just one thing. Whatever you do, never ever schedule a game against a certain program from a Far Southern State capital located directly south of the State of Nebraska. We don’t need to ever live that nightmare again.
