Can anyone give me a legit reason why 6 man is played in Kearney and those kids don’t have the same opportunity as the others to play in Lincoln?

Probably because it's closer to most 6 man schools.

That’s the best you’ve got?

 

[BIG TONE SOPRANO]

NSAA and Board of Control have done some extremely dumb things. Add this to the list.

 

[Snockered69]

does MS cover the 53.5 though?

 

[Mr.Bojangles]

You asked.

 

[BIG TONE SOPRANO]

You asked.

No 8 man schools even from out west. You are right.

 

[herbsinator]

Can anyone give me a reason why I should care?

Because it’s not right

I'm with Tony on this after taking a straw poll of one.

I asked someone from Wynot this weekend if the kids would rather play in a smaller venue like Kearney. Absolutely not was the answer. The opportunity to play on that turf and stadium is important to the kids.

I believe 6 man is separate from the NSAA.

I believe 6 man is separate from the NSAA.

Its not, I thought it was too but its on the NSAA site

 

[Blbmeb]

I know it used to be separate but not sure when it changed then.

 

[Tyneb23]

Im so happy Wynot won, being from there. Lots of great kids

 

[wildcat_husker]

Always wondered the same. Playing there is the coolest thing for a high schooler who loves football.

I believe it happened in the last few years. With the NSAA adding another 8 man division, it has been said that they wouldn’t be able to play in memorial stadium either. I guess the NSAA only has Memorial stadium for 2 days and can only accommodate 6 games in those two days.

It used to be, up until about 2017 ish.

The Six-Man Coaches Association staged their own 6-man season and championship game in the years the NSAA didn't sanction it. They created the championship game in Kearney and when the NSAA took the 6-man game back under its umbrella, they kept the game in Kearney.

From what I've been told, the NSAA only has access to Memorial Stadium for the two days of this week, and cannot fit a 7th game into the schedule.

I don't know what they will do next year with the addition of a third 8-man class.

You have an idea of who will move to A or down to B this next cycle?



I've been told if Nebraska goes to grass, the games will be moved from Memorial Stadium or at least pushed back to after Thanksgiving.

I’m wondering if 8 man will move to Kearney as well because of that?

It would make most sense, but logistically it would be a nightmare for NSAA staff and NET to broadcast games at both UNK and Memorial Stadium.
