Yeah, you know, that article sounds like a bunch of rampant speculation.
Also, the promise to play Rex Burkhead in 2009 might give the coaching staff a chance to move Rex to a different position such as safety. No doubt Bo Pelini would love Rex anchoring his defense for the next four years.
The talent is so dry that Bo might be saying to Rex “If you want to be a running back, I can red shirt you or give you 5 carries a game, or I can start you right now at Safety and make you an All-American Safety by the time you leave.”
Like putting imaginary words into Bo's mouth. It seems the truth is that Rex is being recruited strictly as an RB. (see Burkhead's recruiting thread on this board) And also that the talent at safety is not that dry, given a couple of redshirting frosh are supposed to be tearing it up right now.
Rumors varied around Husker Message Boards to the cause of the suspension, but we do have good intel to support that it was most likely an NCAA fraction.
On a completely unrelated note, I heard it’s against the rules to sell your tickets.
I think the "good intel" is some message board rumor.
