What an absolute disaster for Nebraska. They are going to have to overpay that backup from USC.

Minchey ducking out makes perfect sense, given we are a 15-0 undefeated basketball school now.
The world is fucked. Indiana and Kentucky going football and we go basketball.
End of days fellas!
Final Four will be fun though!!!

Nebraska 5 years behind the 8 ball. Getting dominated by Kentucky in the portal.
Or you do the same thing to someone else. Who else is “committed” but hasn’t signed?
Imagine deciding to low ball in football when it’s obvious to even basketball schools that football is the cash cow.
The NFL approach does not work when there are no limits on NIL that are enforceable. NU’s AD and boosters are actually retarded. Thus we continue to suck and never figure out how to get it moving in the right direction.
Because they know the game and have no history that is clouding people’s judgment of what they are
Nebraska for some reason is trying to operate NIL like we’re a perennial 10 win team that people are dying to come jump aboard with for playoff runs
We NEED to overpay high end guys to get them to come here. Not because I want us to, it’s just the reality. We’re viewed essentially no differently as Texas Tech pre-spending spree
Until the mindset changes we are cooked. Kentucky cucking us for our QB after Rhule going up on the podium saying he wants a $30-$40M roster and we have everything we need to get the guys we want is legitimately laughable
Austin Simmons.
Agree
Kid got benched for Chambliss at Ole Miss, currently committed to Missouri
Let's get ready for the Zac Taylor era after Burrow gets hurt again
Have my eyes on Jake Dickert
Don’t have a DL coach, don’t want to play for backwards hat Matt
They’re “working” on setting up visits. 😆🤷
I’m so on the damn fence with this.
1) we gotta play with the big boys. Hell the medium boys
2) what the hell else can we do after getting the commitment, acceptable paper work in hand, and then an 11th hour “psych” - I’m not sure what we are supposed to do if we aren’t given the chance
3) and if they gave us a chance to match and we said “piss off” that’s one - but also, there has to be SOME responsibility here. If he’s demanding sorsby/Leavitt money after agreeing to 2/5 of that, that’s pretty wild. We are literally promoting extortion at that point
The answer can’t be “cave to every demand a 20 year old makes”. You don’t negotiate with terrorists, and this is fucking TERRORIST behavior

Unless we kill it the rest of the way in the portal Matt is doomed. Might be doomed even if we somehow do really well but the resistance to the status quo is admitting that the ones who make the $$$ decisions either have zero faith in Rhule or don't give any fucks about being competetive. The real issue at hand is the football team still makes money because of the loyal (easily bilked) fan base. If becoming a top ten team was needed to make the program viable from a financial standpoint it would happen. Eventually though the bulk of the dreamers who were alive and older than 8 years old in 1999 will be either dead or broken in the not so distant future. Which ultimately means I have no hope of seeing a good football team fielded by the Huskers.
