Also, the kid is set to graduate what is he thinking? Planning on his NFL $$ to carry him forever?
So is anyone seeing this anywhere else? Terrible news and very disappointing if true.
Wow. How sad. I wonder what he was thinking? Even if he is just counting on NFL money why in the heck would you throw away a college degree that is so close to completion? This just goes under the category of "young people, no matter how smart, often make really dumb life decisions."
But I agree with the comment above about our accountability system. Why were no red flags apparent? When I was a prof I would routinely get these little emails from various athletic coaches asking me to verify how student athlete so and so was doing in class. I would get many of those emails almost every week from one coach or another. Doesn't NU do that too? I can't imagine they don't
I put Kaz in a figure four leg lock until he unlocked it.

I agree.Next man up, more game experience for him.
I think I'll wait for confirmation
I agree.
I would also toss out this very off the cuff and subjective observation. Please tell me if I am wrong. But it seemed to me this year that Nate was often superb and a real play maker - - earning all the praise he had gotten and then some. But then there were other plays, and sometimes large portions of whole games, where he just seemed to be mailing it in. Am I crazy? I mean on this point and not in general? lol
Thanks. But the Iowa game was one I had in mind. He played horribly in my opinion. I thought at the time that maybe he was just demoralized by how we were getting pushed around. But now? I don't know...He was guilty of mailing it in last season. I thought he played much better this year except for OSU and our last game.
The fact that it was temporarily removed by the mods and subsequently reposted is confirmation enough for me.
So you are saying there is a chance? lolIdk. Maybe they are waiting for the finals to be graded. Ha ha
The guy who told me is pretty connected and has never let me down before. So I am trusting it for now.
Wait...are we mad he isn't playing because we think he is good or are we happy he isn't playing because he loafs and is toxic?
He doesn't need school - he will be a first rounder.i am told the young man decided to fail all his classes and will be ineligible to play in the bowl game.

We see what he is when there are superior men on the other side of the ball. Yes, I did say that about Iowa. We have dropped a long way from when Eric Crouch made them his bitch his sophomore year.He was guilty of mailing it in last season. I thought he played much better this year except for OSU and our last game.

Just another example of a lack of leadership by key players on the team. I for one will not be sad to see this senior class go except for Westy and Reilly.
What happened to the accountability system. Red flags should have gone up all over during the semester if this is true. Do we hold kids out if they aren't getting their work done during the regular season? This team just keeps taking hits doesn't it?
That is my guess too. That would explain why there were no red flags to the coaching staff. Maybe Gerry just said "screw it" and decided to skip his finals, not turn in final papers and so on. I had many students who would be doing solid all semester and then for some damn reason just crapped out at the end.We're finals this week? Maybe grades went an issue until taking them? Just guessing.
Jeesh! Did this Sr. class key your car and pee in your front yard or something?
Or is it still just a Pelini thing?
