Taylor/Ellis transferring to Millard South
- Thread starter Dell Husker
- Start date
I think we're missing a golden opportunity here... Ole Buffet won't donate his money to NIL to buy us a team. From all accounts, he's all about the education side of things...
So, we pitch him a philanthropic was to create the Buffett Magnet School for Business, where we target poor youth from disadvantage backgrounds, giving them scholarships and housing to attend. Of course, any school needs extra curricular activities, so they just so happen to offer football and basketball as an outlet to these young men.
Win-Win...

I was correct. I scooped everyone here… thank you
To win a Class A state championship, yes total waste of time. Everyone is just competing to 1) be on opposite of bracket to Millard South and 2) make it to the finals. We (Lincoln North Star) should have been on the other side of the beat down in the Class A finals. Our QB ran the wrong play on our 2 point conversion vs Papio South for the go ahead conversion. Runs the correct play, we win that game and good chance of playing in the finals.
Outside of MS and the bottom 12 or so teams last fall, class A was pretty competitive. Basically 2-20 wildcard points leaders were good games.
For fan support, those bottom 12 teams bring small crowds and barely, if any students to games home and for sure away. Teams in the middle bring ok crowds and lots of students especially against other teams in that range. Class A doesn't have quite the school spirit as Class B and lower schools.
Aleady been trending this way in HS baseball. Recruiting, open enrollment is making the same 5 teams dominant.
Maybe they’re getting jobs too?
Have you seen his buyout? He’s ground for at least two more seasons imo. I’ll bet DB’s new crypto Escalade on it!
I wouldn't be surprised if Trae Taylor's dad gets a job at Millard South he's been Trae's coach his whole life. I believe he's the OC of Trae's team in Illinois.
His Dad and Tony Romo were the stars of the Eastern Illinois football team about 25 years ago. JR Taylor was the RB. This is from 2016
I think I had some of his football cards back in the day.
Probably not difficult jobs to leave and they're more than likely getting paid a little more in Lincoln for the next 2-5 years.
I think you'll win more than you'll lose bringing kids into Nebraska. Regardless of what happens with Rhule.
Key is getting MS to a national/regional schedule. Have to start somewhere.
I’ve had similar ideas to this before, usually dreams associated with wining the powerball, but had thought Ricketts or Buffet would be ideal targets for naming rights if o couldn’t find it myself. Make it a boarding school with top academics and athletics, like Montverde Academy, and you’d have a feeder program for the Huskers. And like Montverde, you would be funding a lot of athletics with international students who are paying a premium for a great education.
I know MS has at least 3-4 more they’re expecting to transfer in
If there was a tax advantage Warren would give
How much are they paying Seaton's uncle?
Eh, maybe. I need to see how this plays out over a few years. Making Millard South (or any other HS) your feeder program, might be genius, as long as Nebraska doesn’t end up being the feeder program for Texas Tech, Oregon and Ohio State.
If we don’t have the money, or the will to spend it, these kids (if they’re legit) will just jump to another University after one year at Nebraska. A university that’s offering a bag we can’t or won’t match.
Fuck the current team, let’s pay 17 year olds instead..
