Bullshit, teams change as the season goes on.

You can pinpoint the exact moment that this Nebraska team started to falter.

From the preacher:

"How about instead of like, making it about them and talking to them, how about we just make it about us and play the best football we've ever played? So I don't wanna see that anymore, I don't want to disrespect them, I want to respect us."

Not only is this soft as babyshit, it's a total inability to read the room. These players were jacked coming into the locker room up big on a rival. They were motivated by the Colorado shit talk, and they played with moxie. It literally disappeared after Rhule's speech, we were held out the entire next half, and never played like that again.

I get that for middle-aged losers, its hard to understand what motivates younger generations, but telling them to stop leaning into what it is that's making them play with an edge is absolutely not it. Rhule lost the team after this speech.

Go ahead and google how Saban and Smart talk pregame/halftime if you want to see how a winner communicates.

Cutting the roster to 105

Describe the difference! I'll wait.

There is none. Webster's definition of a professional: participating for gain or livelihood in an activity or field of endeavor often engaged in by amateurs (previously known as college football)

Players are now compensated in cash and taxed for play. The NFL, UFL, and Arena leagues pay money for players, they have free agency, and a commissioner (The Select 2) for unity purposes. Their tuition and books are also paid for; how much total compensation is that worth at the end of 4-5 years?

So, please explain the difference...

Jesus, we are this far into the right to NIL compensation (as mandated 9-0 by the US Supreme Court) and some fans are still confused?

Professional players are drafted and sign an employment contract which sets forth all manner of rights, rules, and restrictions applicable to the employer (c/o the labor union) and the employee (c/o the employer). Start there.

I believe that all of our walk ons have received the cost of attendance for the past year. That's nothing to sneeze at regardless of what the final rules are on this roster reduction. It sounds like there's some things that still have to be worked out and I suspect lots of schools are going to express concern about this. 105 guys is still a large number of guys but what is going to be more important than ever is finding mature P5 ready transfers to fill roster holes. Then how many QBs and centers for instance do you carry on your roster. We've seen teams go through 5 QBs due to injuries this year. There's not going to be as much room at programs like NU for projects. In some ways, it's going to make things easier for our staff and we might not need as many assistants as we have right now. Other than the feel good stories of the local kids walking on, this shouldn't really affect NU all that much in the long run. That new locker room is going to seem awfully empty next year.

1. No
2. Yes, its hypocritical of the ncaa to say we care about safety yadda and then tell schools to play more games with less roster. Its hard to practice effectively in week 10 let alone 13 and walk ons are valuable for that.
3. It will affect NU in the long run. I get the arguments that the roster is too big, but nebraska enjoyed walk on success that other universities did not, and many former players would not ever have been at NU if this rule was in place.

This is the way it has always been. Tommie Frazier's scholarship was calculated at the outstate rate while Ahman Green's was "worth" less. There are people in the university's financial aid office and athletics compliance office whose job it is to calculate these sort of things. Then the university bills the athletic department. The amounts vary from year to year.
Also, nobody is required to give any grant $ at all to any players, and some simply won't be able to afford it. Like I said, the rich will get richer

With the NIL dollars already available to pay players, how does it matter to programs that are already rich?

Are you calling for Ruhl to be fired?

no. that would be pointless.

he will be allowed to complete 4 years here at minimum.

I post my observations here. there are countless contradictions in what Rhule has said and what Rhule has done during his time here.

to me, Rhule's obvious lack of either vision or conviction are a gigantic red flag for someone in his position.

we have no identity because he has no identity.

I'm glad Holgorsen is here and hope he stays. I look forward to more difficult conversations this off-season with both staffers and players.

going into Year Three, I finally expect significant roster turnover - something Rhule's contemporaries accomplish in months.

none of the stuff I discuss here is "Old Man Yelling At Cloud". I said repeatedly during the off-season that Rhule's wishy washy late game stuff has to stop. that his atrocious game management needs to improve. that it's costing us games. that he HAS to get better.

fast forward to 10 games into Year 2 here and Year 10 of him being a head man and we're seeing the exact same basic stuff get flubbed when the lights are on and we need a steady hand. we have nothing to turn to or count on when the going gets tough.

fans need to show patience for an experienced coach to learn when to call timeout? I disagree with you there.

nobody expects us to go undefeated. everybody expects us to stop inflicting ourselves with mortal wounds week after week. I don't think this is at all unfair.

DR has been pretty good all season. I've been impressed with him.

why our coaching staff thought throwing him to the wolves with the entire program on his back was our best plan of action is a mystery.

Yeah, I still have no doubt about his future. Everyone wanted him to be great right from the jump, and for a true freshman, he did. But as the competition and opponents scheming got better, we have not. Dana is hopefully finding a way to call plays based on our talent and not the opposite. Ya know, maybe not run Fidone out there on routes that require YAC to be successful.
