About this episode

The episode discusses the pressures facing Matt Rhule's Nebraska football program and the implications of recent Big Ten revenue.

Is Matt Rhule’s Nebraska football program on a one-year clock? Should it be two? Perhaps the solution to mounting pressure and negativity in Lincoln is this: Take a step back and evaluate the Huskers over a two-year period. After all, it’s highly unlikely that the Huskers can manage more major change in the offseason after 2026 than they’re already set to tackle, with a big chunk of Memorial Stadium set to come down. Did you see how much money the Big Ten made in the most recently completed fiscal year? It’s the most ever by quite a large amount. What the big pay day means for Nebraska — and why the model that produced $1.47 billion might be coming under some new scrutiny, thanks to Duke basketball. Also, we check in with Nebraska volleyball on scheduling and Nebraska men’s basketball for a roster update. Join us.
