New rules

What do you think about the new NFL rules for the Dynamic Kickoff Formation, the Hip-Drop tackle ban, and monitoring player movement? These will be enforced again during the game Sunday. Amazon Web Services (AWS) will also be tracking player movement with sensors in the shoulder pads and sensors in the football.

How would you spend the money

Say you were given carte blanche of $500 million to spend on Husker athletics over the next 10 years. What would you spend the money on? (you can't use it for NIL)

* $300+ mil towards new South Stadium. Connect east and west seamlessly with south (and improve concessions, restrooms, seating, etc. throughout the stadium)
* whatever $$ it takes to hire a top 5 national basketball coach
* $15+mil on state of the art golf facility and coach (golf is my passion)
* get out of Adidas contract and go with Nike, Jordan or UA. I just don't like Adidas and feel it is an inferior product (and I think college kids feel the same) not sure if this would cost money?
* add hockey if it's possible??
* upgrade paved parking around the Bob and any volleyball needs and upgrades

Basketball ***Live Game Thread: Final — Nebraska 86, Washington 72

Nebraska (14-8, 4-7 in Big Ten) wraps up its two-game West Coast swing tonight at Washington (11-10, 2-8), a Quad 2 opportunity. The Huskies just had their own six-game losing streak snapped at Minnesota on Saturday.

The availability reports are out, and it's a clean one for Nebraska with no one listed as out or questionable. Washington lists two players as out — Chris Conway and Christian King — but neither are rotation players. Conway hasn't played this season and King hasn't played since Jan. 12.

Tipoff is set for 9:30 p.m. and the game will be on BTN with Aaron Goldsmith and Bruce Weber on the call. Some pregame reading:

Football Dasan McCullough hoping to find positional home in John Butler's defense

“He's just an absolutely great athlete that people have tried in a lot of different spots,” Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule said of McCullough Saturday during a press conference. “And so you see kind of like a player who hasn't really found his home.”

Is it really possible...

that in this day of big money and people moving around, that a head coach who gets a big long term contract tries but after a few years gives up and tanks the team intentionally so he can get fired and get his payday? And no, I don't think Frost or Riley did that but rather I think things were just over their heads. But can someone give us an example of a coach who it's highly suspicious did this?
