Same philosophy as the vampire (more into JC, but same thinking). Coincidental? Not likely.

This has some interesting info, not just about Nebraska but also NIL and future of potential revenue sharing.
Nebraska's $450 million Memorial Stadium project faces fundraising questions • Nebraska Examiner
NU Athletics Director Trev Alberts' push to raise private funds to renovate Memorial Stadium faces some pushback from boosters and lawmakers.nebraskaexaminer.com
"One lawsuit seeks to have Power Five schools pay players 50% of the average revenue from ticket sales, corporate sponsorships and television revenue."
Interesting. Not sure what the players' percentage cut should be, but this is the right answer moving forward and would blunt the impact of NIL as long as each player makes a reasonable base salary.
I sure hope the kids get access to IPERS or a 401k with a 10% company match once the AD is spun off to be it's own entity
LB (from my laymen eyes) easily had their best game in Manhattan. McLaughlin was filling and hitting with intent, Bacon got hands on balls and a lot of action, player of the week, and Vaughn looked sure.
I think K-State to some degree at least with QB's is all about Johnson.
Otherwise - its Manhattan, Kansas, not for veryone.
And Klieman's a helluva coach, but also very demanding. Again, not for everyone.
Also so far we've had 5 announce so I mean... we're not too far off the "average". Its just - sadly, the landscape anymore.
I don't play enough?
I'm not "valued" enough?

I think that Avery Johnson is a good player and will probably be on all-conference teams after next season. That said, it's tough to find someone in the portal that will come in knowing he's going to be a backup. I'm sure they have a TRFR coming in, but after that, it's probably walk-ons and maybe a JUCO. They are going to be completely dependent on Johnson staying healthy and the way they run the QB, that's kind of a scary proposition for them. It's going to be a huge dropoff after Johnson and if he gets hurt, they are screwed.
And they did that in the snow. KSU really struggled with angles and tackling, thus the big plays. Our guys did not, thus the longer drives, and held them to FGs twice.
The LBs were not great to start the year. But they did improve VASTLY as a group. That's how it goes with a bunch of freshmen being thrown into the fray.
We have a solid group of young LB's and do a great job with typical 4-3 defense skills- run support & coverage.
But ISU's 3-3-5 defense isn't getting enough QB pressure so feel we need to rush 4 more often with a bigger, speed guy to fill that hybrid LB/DE role.
Bacon might be able to develop into a solid pass rusher as well because he has a great motor.
You can replace portal losses with HS recruits or portal adds.
I believe the 25 scholarship limit per year is no longer a rule.
True freshman David Caulker out of DM North originally committed to Iowa and he is was rated a 3 star edge.
Ya, we had the luxury of Uwazurike and McDonald the past 5 or 6 years. Be nice to find the next diamond in the rough.
but it produced a bunch of interceptions this season. i dont know the exact numbers but it had to be the most of any CMC season or a close second.
Big problem here would be fairness. If players get 50% of revenue, is that determined by each school, each conference, each sport? Does every player get the same? Do SEC players get more because of their TV deals? I haven't seen this lawsuit, so it would be interesting to know what it demands. If it's revenue of that player's school only, the Big East is over. Or are they Power 5? Actually it's now Power 4.
That it did. I just got nervous in some games like K state, UT, and OU where there many plays where the qb had 6 seconds to throw. That’s not a winning formula most of the time. The only rush 3 tanked Auburn against Alabama.
I did a quick scan, but I think that's right, with 1.3 interceptions per game this season (9th in the country). I don't think any other season was over 1.
Also, maybe a bit surprisingly, the offense this season had the fewest turnovers per game in the Campbell era besides for the 2017 season (Kempt + 0 fumbles - I refuse to count the one that was called in the Liberty Bowl). This season the offense averaged 0.9 turnovers per game, which was the 13th fewest in the country.
