Tone deaf? Perhaps Perlman doesn't listen to the obnoxiously vocal dozen posters on a free message board. Perhaps he listens to the majority of the BOR and donors of substance that actually like SE and appreciate the job he's doing.
Perlman Extending Eichorst's Contract

I don't disagree with that part hence why I never said anything about it in the reply. I've actually stated something of a different context but similar with responsibility (and even mentioned a past President along with current BOR's), in this very thread. Do you need braille to lead you?!?
It was left out as the part you were 110% wrong about is tax paying dollars. There are ZERO tax paying dollars involved in Nebraska athletics. That was my only comment to you, you can't handle getting corrected then went off path to divert the attention by asking an ignorant question or two.
There have been a lot.of posts on this board in the last few weeks where it was obvious that people don't understand this. There's a reason why rich guys have a lot of pull with the athletic department. They are the ones who cover the buyout $$$$ when a coach is fired, not the university or the state.
When the athletic department no longer is self sustaining look out, because then politicians might be making athletic department decisions.
That'll work just like it did for the pervert Avery Moss.
Not that you needed help HTO. Maybe a breakdown will help SEMO.
LOL...getting in a little late on this one aren't you. I'll ask you the same question that I posed Tim (and he answered)...the university has a responsibility to be good stewards of ALL money...both appropriated from the state or donated, right? Yes or no. Pretty easy actually. If you are implying that the standard of judiciously spending money changes because it is donated versus appropriated through taxes, you are barking at the moon, pal. That was my point. I could give a shit what color the money in the athletic department is...that it spent wisely is a totally different story.
BTW...I find it nearly impossible to believe that not one cent of taxpayer money doesn't find its way into the department one way or another, either through the hiring of tutors, faculty, support staff, scholarships or other sundry spending that benefits the programs or athletes. If I'm wrong, great...as a taxpayer, that is a wonderful thing.
@SEMO_yogi Sorry this is so hard for you to understand.
No one is debating you on the Athletic Department being good stewards or not. Your first comment that I quoted you on (and HTO prior to me), you said nothing about being a good steward.
You bring up taxpayer money, you're called out on being incorrect that no taxpayer money is involved, you change your argument without acknowledging your taxpayer comment (until finally now).

HP doesn't understand recruiting. HP doesn't understand football. HP isn't remotely interested in Husker Football. HP has ZERO friends on the Team, and he doesn't have ANY involvement in Football. HP is a LAWYER, thinks like a Lawyer, and acts like a Lawyer. He hired Shawn because he is also a Lawyer. Let's remember that these 2 birds are not thinking about Husker Nation. They are covering their own asssses!!!!! During HP's tenure, Husker Football has nosedived to a 50 year low. HP takes 100% of the blame. Why extend Shawn's contract now?? No one in their right mind would do that, especially now.
The lawyer jabs begin.
Don't waste your time, the same blotard said nobody in the national media or former players voiced support of Mike Riley when he was hired.
Please tell us WHO in National Media, and WHAT former players voiced support of Mike Riley?? It was certainly NOT a large number of them, and they are silent today. The reaction to the MR hire was absolute shock in the media, and the vast majority of Husker Nation questioned the move. That is a FACT!!!!!!
BWAHAHAHA. A link to a couple Bo players expressing doubt. BWAHAHAHA. You're clueless.
@B3Vandy
You want former players?

“I’m excited,” said Polk, now a Tampa Bay Buccaneers assistant coach. “I think he’s a Nebraska type of guy. I said this to somebody earlier, he’s Tom Osborne-ish. These players are going to love him.

Good stewardship of funds was my entire point from the get-go. Glad you finally understand that.
I don't care about your stewardship point because I was never once talking about that or debating it with you.
Sadly, you still fail to understand my entire point in response to you.
The fact remains that the entire Media and Husker Nation was shocked when Shawn and Harvey went out on a limb, by themselves, and hired the 'nice guy' Mike Riley. If Riley had started off 9-0, then Harvey and Shawn would take the credit. Now, at 3-6, they get 100% of the blame. That is fair. Now, Harvey wants to give Shawn more $$$, and Shawn wants to retain Riley. That is what is wrong. If you can't understand this, then you are not part of Husker Nation.
I'd love to be a fly on the wall with the BOR.....They in no way can be happy with HP or SE.......
I'd be shocked if they are even discussing it much. People act like the entire BOR and Administration are there to watch football.
Isnt Nebraska one of the few that actually contributes money from the AD to the University as whole? if so if the AD money is not spent wisely then tax payers do make up the difference
Nebraska’s athletic department pays UNL, in full, for every penny of an athletic scholarship, partials and full rides. There are zero tax paying dollars affiliated with our athletic department.
I think what he was saying is that if AD funds aren't spent wisely, the amount that they contribute to the academic side may dry up and the shortfall on the academic side would need to be made up, possibly with public dollars.
Additionally I would add that it is difficult to categorically state that there are zero tax paying dollars affiliated with our athletic department when there are certainly tax dollars being spent on the PBA. Also the line becomes somewhat blurred in the cooperative relationships between the AD NAPL and CB3, especially if federal grants and dollars are involved in research.
You two are way underestimating the funds available.
PBA isn't owned by UNL and/or the athletic department. NU Athletics rents out the PBA and isn't on the hook for anything else, two completely different entities.
