No shite. There's nothing at ALL within 500 miles of Lincoln, much less other power football programs. That's not a good thing.

Nebraska's glory years came from getting in partial and non-qualifiers from the coasts during a time that Nebraska was one of a few teams broadcast on TV regularly while Nebraska got in all the in-state talent without having to use athletic scholarships on them thanks to the "County Scholarship Program".

So three big fundemental changes have occured:

1. Nebraska isn't one of only a few teams that gets televised anymore. As such, they can't recruit nationally anywhere near like they used to.
2. No more partial and non-qualifiers that other schools couldn't admit.
3. No more "County Scholarships" so Nebraska has to abide by the scholarship limit.

These are structural issues. Not coaching related.
