Corn Flakes: Cheating Pays And Change Is Coming
| Big 12 media days kicked off and Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowsly had plenty to say about the current state of college athletics. Bottom line – cheating pays and change is coming. Neither of these are particularly earth-shattering comments. That change is coming is obvious beyond the fact that the Power Five conferences will gain more autonomy in the near future. There is a near-constant clamor for college football and basketball players to see some of the income they bring into schools because of the... |
2014 Nebraska Football Opponent Preview: Michigan State Spartans
| Going into last season, the biggest questions for Michigan State were on offense, starting at quarterback. Andrew Maxwell was the starter in 2012 despite having the Big Ten’s worst completion percentage. The Spartans struggled to a 7-6 record, and in the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl, the Spartans best quarterback was actually running back Le’Veon Bell taking direct snaps as a Wildcat quarterback. Maxwell started the season opener and struggled once again against Western Michigan, forcing coach Mark Dantonio to make the switch to sophomore Connor... |

Did Hunter Dale Decommit From Nebraska Last Night? It Sure Looks Like It.
| The NOLA Safety who surprised everyone with a commitment on Thursday retracted it on twitter Saturday night. So, I’ll be the first one to be surprised that Kendall Bussey got Hunter Dale to Lincoln, much less commit to Nebraska late Thursday evening. But then, something odd happened… Dale himself told everyone that he wasn’t committed. Need to calm down I have not committed my recruiting is still open at this time #GatorNation #HailState #VolNation #GoDucks #BearDown — Hunter Dale (@HunterD_1) July 20, 2014 @HunterD_1 #HottyToddy... |
2014 Nebraska Football Opponent Preview: Illinois Fighting Illini
| At first glance, Illinois started 2013 in strong fashion after a miserable two-win season the year before: going 3-1 in non-conference play. The Illini trounced a Cincinnati team that would win nine games, and was very competitive in losing to Washington 34-24. But in B1G play, the wheels fell off, beginning in Lincoln against Nebraska. They would lose their next six in a row, with the only victory coming against hapless Purdue. 4-8 didn’t do much to cool off Tim Beckman’s hot seat and now... |
