Nebraska has a booster fund of $150 million Dollars used for such incidentals like paying old coaches.
like covering up Tom "Keith Richards of Lincoln" Solich's cheerleader and alcoholic cover ups?
This is true on so many levels. Nebraska is what GOL used to call a "check casher". They sit back a basically steal $30M from the conference while providing no added value. Then they say that a school like UCF could never compete. Give us $30M/year extra and a P5 tag and see how well we would complete. We would pass Nebraska faster than they could find their way out of a straight line corn maze. Then again that could take awhile. They are from Nebraska, but you get my point.
The funniest thing about the situation is, if Scott Frost was not from Nebraska, they wouldn't want a damn thing to do with him. They would say he is just a G5 coach and his offense would not fit there (which is doesn't by the way). They would be rioting worse than UT fans.
His biggest issue going there is that the best he could ever do is MEET expectations. He will never be able to make a name for himself. He will (as every coach there has) always be compared to Tom Osborne and anything less an utter failure. He can only aspire to be Tom Osbourne 2.0 and will never be Scott Frost 1.0. If that is what he wants in life, them more power to him. We can't control that. All we can do is offer him a chance to build a program into something great and make a name for himself.
The analogy you should be using is “Dude sees a conversation get heated between two opposing parties. Hears someone rip on his school that simply has no room to talk and then decides to remind that person of reality.”
I love how seriously people take this stuff. My personal reputation isn’t on the line here and facts have been discussed here and what started as an exchange of information albeit heated, has turned into what you’re seeing the majority of threads turn into.
Nebraska fans have an endless thirst for information on the football program; hence our presence here. What we won’t do is humor people like @Mikesi ’s delusion. If you take offense to that, then the problem is yours. It isn’t mine.
The fact is that when Nebraska came open, Scott Frost was always going to be the top target and it was going to be basically impossible for him to say no. It’s nothing personal. It just is what it is. He was never going to be Chris Peterson and this was never going to be his Boise State. The other thing is, you guys were never going to be home.
I have very much enjoyed watching you guys play this year. Watched a lot of full games and bits and pieces of every single one. Down the stretch I’d look forward more to UCF games than Nebraska ones. With Florida and FSU down you guys would have had a huge chance to leverage this season into much much more IF you were in a P5 conference. With that being said, you have a cement ceiling on exactly where you can be. That’s not mean, it’s simply a fact and those things tend to be stubborn things and rarely care about your feelings. I’m not certain when the next realignment can legally happen, but I’ve read due to TV deals, you might be looking at ‘23. I may be wrong on that number and it certainly could be sooner, but there is no guarantee at that point you go P5.
