I'm beginning to think that Cornhusker football will never again compete for a national championship. It really has little to do with our current HC, players, recruiting, development, funding, etc.
It has everything to do with time. I think we're running out of time. Time in which universities continue to exist the way that they currently do. The secondary education cost bubble is about to burst, and will force a paradigm shift that will rock the university systems. There will be a ripple effect through the NCAA, where finally the notion of higher education and pre-professional athletes are separated. It seems like these changes will occur in the next 5-10 years, so the window is closing on us and everyone else. After this shift, I foresee a minor league system that exists completely apart from universities.
