Nebraska gives Scott Frost much deserved extension to only fire him.

  • After Iowa State won the Big 12, a Cyclone made a wonderful offer to We Will that now increases our match. Now all gifts up to $400,000 between now and the Final 4 will be matched. Please consider giving at We Will Collective.

Found this article interesting:



“Former University of Nebraska President Hank Bounds quit his job last year and left the state to become a professor in Alabama.
But he still earns $250,000 a year from Nebraska.

Under an unusual arrangement, Bounds continues working for the university as a fundraising consultant on UNL’s $155 million football and athletics complex.

While NU already has a large foundation to handle donations, and the UNL athletic department operates its own fundraising effort, Bounds was hired by the NU Board of Regents to work on a three-year contract that will pay him a total of $750,000 plus expenses. The cost will be covered by private funds.

The regents accepted the Bounds contract last year without a public vote. Approval came with strong support from Husker football coach Scott Frost, who was hired while Bounds served as president and has a good relationship with him. When some regents questioned the need to hire Bounds, Frost reportedly argued that his involvement was essential to the project.”

That is rich.

So Frost needed he is involvement to take the huskers to the bottom of the B1G.

The football outlook in Lincoln is going to get a lot worse before it gets any better.

I can't decide which would be funnier, Nebby starting 1-4 in a year they begged their masters to let them play football or Iowa moving to 3-3 a mere three days after Barta convinced the playoff committee to rank them.

It doesn't seem fair that Nebby should suck so hard in the Big 10 after all those years they were a freight train in the Big 8. Hawk fans have no idea what true Husker hate is. And the Big 10 west is absolute trash.
