Friday Flakes: Football Recruits Are Asking for How Much Just to Visit Campus?

Dylan Widger-USA TODAY Sports To be clear — I am all about college athletes getting paid. In fact, whenever the topic comes up about how much these athletes (including professional athletes) are making I generally always respond with some form of “somebody is getting paid anyways so it might as well be the players.” The money is there and it’s either the owner getting the money or the players. In college football, it’s the schools. STILL. With that said, I was put off about the...

THE 24 HOUR RULE: The Supreme Beings Hate Huskers Football, Let’s Bash Colorado One Last Time & There Is No Controversy

If the “My Guy” factor is removed, is there really a controversy at this point in time? | Photo by Steven Branscombe/Getty Images Even a mid-major week can’t pass without a junk punch, more fawning over Colorado and a QB “controversy” only defensible on one side. The frustrations of being a Husker fan bring to mind a quote by former PGA professional tour player, Tommy Bolt, who turned pro in his 30’s and played effectively for about 20 years winning 15 tournaments including his lone...
