Great info @HuskerGarrett. I know I have had my differences with Dean in the past but I definitely feel for him. He's worked hard building his brand. How's this for a crazy COnspiracy Theory? What if Tater Island knew of this issue and could be taking advantage of Dean's shoddy lawyer. They get Dean to move subscribers over but knowing that he wouldn't be able to fulfill his obligations running the site. Site becomes more valuable to sell to someone else if it already has a big subscriber base.
Got some sauce on that? I mean it makes sense considering that he described the issue as "non-Nebraska related publishing obligations," I've just never heard that.

No sauce. It’s been rumored for a while. The board has no publisher listed on rivals, just staff writer and recruiting analyst. It’s also called “KStateOnline” so it fits the “HuskerOnline” naming convention. It’s the only thing I can think of that explains dean’s current pickle.
It’s probably killing him not to be able to post about the various Ireland ticket packages available and to tell some kneeslappers about having one too many stouts there.

You never know. Business world is filled with weasels like that.
Conspiracy wouldn't work from the Tater Island point of view though because no one would buy a site that cheated to get subscribers like that. It's one thing to cheat to get 5,000 subscribers at $1 apiece.... It's quite another thing to have those subscribers come back and renew and renew year after year.
Any buyer would know that those 5,000 subscribers aren't likely to stick around. Most moved bc of Dean. If he's out of the equation then they're out. No one would pay money for a subscriber base built this way. It'd be kn incredibly weak footing.
Either Dean didn’t consult a lawyer in connection with this (bad idea), he ignored his lawyer (also bad idea) or his lawyer messed up royally - how do you move forward publicly when there’s any risk that Rivals actually has leverage here?
So a poster on Tater Island asked if they can move the $1 promo to Sep since that’s when Sean will join…I wonder if some other blue hair will come in and ask for two years of $1
So far Zack Carpenter, their new publisher, has posted more to-the-minute recruiting info about this weekend’s visitors than Dean has posted about anything recruiting related in a year.

Doesn’t matter anyway…….will be announced later today that the game has been moved to Vegas. All PB members will be given a $500 credit at Bellagios…….😎😍💰
