re: Nebraska Football - The Future

If Wisconsin can do it, Nebraska certainly can.

In real dollars, they're making more.

What's your point?

them making more money now than in 2011 has absolutely nothing to do with them joining the big 10

Show your work.

There are big cities and highly populated areas all around Madison. There's nothing 500 miles from Omaha/Lincoln. There's a lot of land, but very few people

You might want to look at a map.

You know how I know pretty much no one in this threads knows anything about Nebraska football?

I think he'll find the next tier of athletes and make Nebraska a tough team who wins 9 a year and competes for conference titles once every 3-5 years.
Remember, Oregon never recruited that well nationally and still were perrinially relevant on a national scale. With the committtment level to football that Nebraska has, there's no reason they couldn't challenge in a similar way

Denver, St.Louis, and Kansas City are all within 500 miles. Chicago is a little bit over 500.

My point is that Minneapolis, Chicago, st.louis, Kansas City, the entire state of Oklahoma, Denver, etc, etc are all within 500 miles of Lincoln.

Nebraska is making $51 million this year. They made $8-$9 per year in the last years of the big 12. Joining the big 10 at the advent of B10 network was the exact reason for that jump in payout.. Big 12 has caught up in recent years but Nebraska wpukd still make significantly less in the big 12

A map shows different.

My main point is that outside of lincoln and omaha, there arent any big cities in Nebraska.

---

Ok. The guy said there was nothing within 500 miles. There is plenty within 500 miles, just pointing out that most people don't even know where Lincoln is let alone what is around it.

I've lived in Omaha and I've made the drive to Denver. Not much going on in the in between

---

Agreed. I've never lived there, but I have made the drive. There is most definitely nothing between there.


I said this another thread as well. Nebraska's current recruiting class only has like 2 nebraska natives in it. They can recruit out of state just fine.

Side note, one of the recruits has the same last name as part of my family and is from the same city. Going to have to ask if there is any relation, I doubt it though.

He'll have ties in Florida. I'm sure Nebraska already recruits Texas prominently. Then add in some of the really good midwest kids in Chicago, KC, etc.

---

They recruit California pretty well also. Both upcoming QBs were 4 stars out of California.
