What's the date on that article? Why did the VB players show up for breakfast if they knew it was closed?
Nebraska athletics announces furloughs, closes training table amid budget crunch
With the door closed on fall football, 51 members of the Nebraska athletic department will be furloughed from Sept. 1-Dec. 31.omaha.com
Again, if it’s the football teams budget, why is this an issue to you?
@Redmich sure cares. He is about as infatuated with the training table as he is with Badger recruiting.
The football team got prefferential treatment at a blueblood university that has the longest sell-out streak in history. Shocking. Were the volleyball players under the impression they would be top dogs on campus since they were good and the football team wasn't? If so they need a reality check.
If the football team had invited the volleyball team out for breakfast, it would’ve been a lot easier for them to sexually harass them on that particular day.
Why not have the football team pay for the volleyball’s breakfast? Not like they earned it. Not like they have returned anything to the fans that pay for the program. Nothing but shit is all they give us. Hope followed by shit. Want harsh truth, that’s harsh truth. And until Rhule does something about it, that’s the way it is.
Volleyball players better transfer somewhere where people don't care about football.
I can understand the attention piece but I don’t think another VB team in the country gets more support than the Huskers so maybe they should compare themselves to other D1 VB teams instead of the football teams. To keep it apples to apples. But let’s be honest regardless of success there are sports that will bring in more money, more fans, and more notoriety than other sports. Football is perched on the top of that hierarchy for college sports. Without the football program they wouldn’t have the facilities and some of the other luxuries they have, which is also a harsh truth.
Well, sure, football could’ve paid for the breakfast for volleyball. But you’re missing the point. It’s the football budget. They don’t have to. And volleyball shouldn’t be pissed off because football paid for the breakfast and didn’t include them. I don’t get this notion that football should’ve Offered it to them freely. They could have, but they didn’t have to. This is a non-story.
why didn't everyone's hero john cook (fraud) pay for their own meal?
So... sounds like the football team is safe.
Finally we agree. That's why 85,000 plus are going to show up and set a world record in a month.
JFC you sound like a real douchebag. Are you this way in real life or is it just your message board persona?
I demonstrably state my opinions, which usually wind up on the happy side of the ledger
I generally do. Just on occasion does it feel a little extra. You’re good.
Tell those hags to rent a UHaul and move their act to Manhattan KS
Covid aside…I wish masks were still worn on planes(or at least by the people always hacking), and that the stewardesses still gave out wipes. Those capsules are cesspools. Sincerely a frequent flier, non-germaphobe, but with family w/autoimmune issues, and one w/cancer.
Some times ‘their’ reason for being pissed is a bunch of crap. Sure, sometimes it’s legitimate. This was wasn’t the latter.
BS, they get more than anywhere else on the planet for playing a sport that is cared about in about 4 or 5 places.
Nailed it. They are currently doing the heavy, lifting to represent us in the big 10. They are great, and we love them, but please know your place. Football is king and always will be football is the rainmaker.
Then the soccer team would have questioned why they weren't invited. And so on. It would never stop. Catering to whiners doesn't pay.
That's why you make it clear it's a football team meal, but give them some yogurt and a muffin and send them on their way. I really doubt that would have sent the Athletic Department careening down some super-scary slippery slope.
I am not sure the Athletics Department is careening down a slippery slope. This will be forgotten by the public by tomorrow when Rhule speaks in Indy, if not before. Hell, I bet 90% of the population in Nebraska even know about it.
Agree. I was referring to the notion that if a couple of VB players walked away happy with a little bit of food, the football program would suddenly be obligated to feed the masses.
Rhule would of course have to ask Cook to keep it on the down low. No cameras please.
Or, “breakfast is intrinsically sexist and entrenched in the oppressive patriarchal system.”
