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.

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...

Planning a trip for spring. Havent been there in 30 years. Wifes never been. Suggestions on where to stay?
Click to expand...
I just got back last week. I stay at the Elara which is a Hilton time share, but it is attached to Planet Hollywood. I recommend Planet Hollywood as a cheaper alternative & it is middle of the strip easy walk anywhere. I also rent a car & get free parking there. I use the back road like Paradise to get up and down the strip. As mentioned Red Rock is great to visit. Also recommend the Omelette House for a giant 6 egg omelette filled with several things. An attraction I went to is the Arte Museum, quite an experience. Be sure to go to Fremont Street one night for that experience. Also went to the Sphere for Eagles concert, paid an arm & leg (700) for front row 1st balcony seat. It is amazing. It has 167,000 speakers inside, best sound ever & it was worth the $. I also requested a room on the backside of the hotel so you can see the sphere all night if you want.

Cutting the roster to 105

PvilleHuskerTim
Will many NCAA teams begin to have a "practice squad" or something similar.? Those players won't be on the official 105 roster but would be held in some sort of reserve capacity. They could still get some NIL deal as compensation (cost of attendance) for being associated with the team but not on the 105. What is stopping them from being able to attend team meetings, do film study, and have access to workout facilities. If a player on the 105 gets injured, or decides to transfer, they get replaced by the practice squad player.

But if there is money set aside for full or partial scholly, what is full scholarship valued at? Do the state schools get to award in state tuition amounts for in state players on the roster?
If so, the private schools are at a disadvantage. Also, the state schools with the most in state talent would have a big advantage, like state schools in California, Texas, Georgia, Ohio, Florida, etc
Hope all these details are worked out fairly, which I am sure they won’t be

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

This is professional football. Two select Powers To Be are dictating roster size, salaries, and total free agency. The inmates are running the asylum. The 5 smaller conferences are a feeder system to the 4 preselected conferences. If you can't cut it at the 4 selected conferences, move down a level, play a couple of seasons, and move back up... THIS is not college football. Give it about 5-6 years and the newness will wear off and the numbers will tumble, the money will slow down, and the only relevance of what used to be a season will be 5 weeks in November and December.
