I suspect given Trev's affinity for Mickey and Trev's willingness to spend the University money, Trev wants to make sure Mickey gets paid through the end of his contract. Doesn't mean Mickey will be employed in a working relationship by the University, just paid.
And that's exactly what you'd expect if Rhule's staff said sorry but your scholarships have or are being filled by somebody else.
I'll wait until they are officially removed from the portal transfer list before removing them from the running totals I have listed.
Have him on ignore..
Maybe we should take OL Conn back if he strikes out in the portal.
My guess ( and guess is the active word ) is that they can't terminate his contract till he's actually convicted of something.
It's not voided automatically. It's up to the school to determine whether to keep the player on scholarship.
seems like it would be since the player broke the contract..
You are missing out on some great info, it's all made up bullshit or stolen, but info none the less.
The NIL contracts are with the companies, not the schools. This isn't pay for play.
the player leaves the school when he enters the portal...then the contract for scholarship becomes void
Potentially, but the NIL agreements are separate from the scholarship agreement.
yeah I did'nt say anything bout nil....thats not between the school and player.
true, I suppose the main hangup for everyone is, was mickey or his wife commiting the adultery?
Sort of yes and no? Driving to Omaha is not that far and he mostly came up to vent to his mom, and Fred Petito who both told him to stick with it as far as we know. Fortunately Bobby Newcombe was smarter than Frank Solich, and moved himself to WR/PR after Crouch completely outperformed him against Iowa and Cal. Nebraska may have lost to Kansas that year if not for that move
oh memories :|
I think the thought is that maybe they're waiting it out so he can be retained?
I wouldn’t doubt it. Good recruit last year and I’m all for second chances. But didn’t practice all that well (apparently) and then he will probably miss spring ball w a major injury. Totally makes sense to wave goodbye to him. How much dead weight did we keep on scholarship under Frost? Only to lose them later?
Mickey called out some of his WRs for not meeting his standards this spring and/or fall. Supposedly Crawford was one that he talking about. Now he was just a freshman so he could always mature, but then he got hurt.
I don’t believe that’s the case at all. My guess is they’re going to do everything they can to help Mickey and his family navigate this mess. Keeping him on the payroll for a while is a drop in the bucket. It’s the right thing to do.
I thought that they would keep Busch on in some capacity for all the good things he did after Frost was fired, but that didn't happen.
I think they will honor the 3 year contract that was guaranteed, but they can fire him at any time if Rhule wants to go in a different direction with regards to a WR coach.
I won't discount this completely, but my thought is that UNL is covering their legal bases by allowing for the case to be fully adjudicated before firing him with cause, not necessarily because Mickey could win the case against him.
I don't think that is the issue at all. Who may or may not have cheated is irrelevant. What Mickey did is. Who and what all transpired during that altercation is all that is likely to be relevant.
Sure, anyone, even Rhule can be fired at any time. There are two different kinds of firings - that is the issue. Mickey was/is owed for three years with only one out option to not pay. Coaching was an option but the pay was not but now has come into question. If I had to hazard a guess, Nebraska will pay him.
