Baseball Official 2025 Nebraska Cardiac Beaver Slayers Baseball Thread - (33-29) - BACK TO BACK BIG TEN CHAMPIONS

[Lfaller23]

Sundgren, Lieser, and Unger have entered the portal

What was the story with Unger? He was coming off of injury going into the year right?

 

[HuskerBaseball]

Those three were told before the B1G Tourney along with others.

Tough crowd continues.

If making regionals is a bad year, then Dannen better get off his ass and hire a new coach while announcing a new stadium, tripling the budget, guaranteeing 34 full scholarships & asking 1890 to earmark $2.5M/year...

....because there isn't a coach in America that will accept the Nebraska job with expectations of regionals being a bad year with our current athletic department (lack of) support and next to non-existent NIL with facilities 20 years old.

1. Texas A&M <--- no post-season
2. Virginia <--- no post-season & coach leaves for SEC, NIL, fan base, facilities
3. LSU advanced to Supers (#6 overall seed)
4. Tennessee advanced to Supers (#14 overall seed, either them or Arkansas makes Omaha)
5. Arkansas advanced to Supers (#3 overall seed, either them or Tennessee makes Omaha
6. North Carolina advanced to Supers (#5 overall seed)
7. Oregon State advanced to Supers (#8 overall seed)
8. Georgia <--- lost in Regionals, as a host (#7 overall seed)
9. Florida State advanced to Supers (#9 overall seed, either them or Oregon State advances to Omaha)
10. Florida <--- lost in Regionals, not a host
11. Duke <--- lost in Regionals, not a host
12. Oregon <--- lost in Regionals, as a host (#12 overall seed)
13. North Carolina State <--- lost in Regionals, not a host
14. Wake Forest <--- lost in Regionals, not a host
15. Clemson <--- lost in Regionals, as a host (#11 overall seed)
16. Vanderbilt <--- lost in Regionals, as a host (#1 overall seed)
17. Oklahoma State <--- lost in Regionals, not a host
18. Mississippi State <--- lost in Regionals, not a host
19. Tejas <--- lost in Regionals, as a host (#2 overall seed)
20. Dallas Baptist <--- lost in Regionals, not a host
21. Arizona advanced to Supers
22. UC Santa Barbara <--- lost in Regionals, not a host
23. TCU <--- lost in Regionals, not a host
24. Nebraska <--- lost in Regionals, not a host
25. Troy <--- no post-season

Going to be very interesting how the money is used after the House settlement. I can't see an SEC school committing more than a million to baseball revenue sharing and there won't be a ton of "legit" NIL.

Will this new era make us more competitive or create a bigger gap?

I sure hope we max the scholarships out, or obviously that will be a real disadvantage.

Bigger gap is your answer. We are just hoping they full fund 30 scholarships. SEC schools will do that and continue more NIL than us. Their donors will now not be funding the scholarships, but be an added bonus on top of them.

I still remember people thinking NIL was going to be the catalyst to getting us back to where we thought we should be nationally in football. I could argue it's making it more difficult for us. We just don't have the firepower other schools do from a donor-dollars standpoint.

How much "legit" NIL is there for baseball? If pay for play goes away, which it currently looks like it will, I don't see a lot of legitimate baseball NIL. Maybe for a few stars, but not for whole rosters.

I'm skeptical NIL will be much more legit than it is now. Just more creative.

We arent getting even half that sir.

This is likely the answer. Millions if not billions are spent on youth sports so parents can feed/protect their own egos and people want the same for their favorite colleges.

Sure, based on the current new rules many NIL contracts wouldn’t have been approved. But all they have to do now is find where the goalposts are and kick the football through them. It won’t be that hard to follow the rules whilst still having NIL money that falls outside of the original intent of NIL.

Are you fucking kidding me?

B1G self imposed sanctions.

B1G self imposed sanctions.

It’s not a big ten thing though is it? It’s just us fucking ourselves

I thought the B1G was capping scholarships at 18 for baseball but I could have misunderstood that being our decision.

 

[HuskerBaseball]

Are you fucking kidding me?

You guys have no idea how little this program gets. For Bolt to do what he has done is more impressive than you would like to think.
The #1 draw for the program is the training table food.

"We'll have a better idea soon" is the exact answer I got this morning before any exit meetings.

 

[ShortSideOption]

But how do you have exit meetings if you have zero idea if you can get guys on scholarship? Or taking it a step further, fend off poachers?

Now folks can understand WTF I've been talking about for several weeks. There's a lot of faith/trust families are putting in to our coaches.

A key 2-year starter will be in the portal, anticipated by sometime Friday.

The same people who bitched about these guys all year are going to bitch that they are leaving too. Lots of change happening.
