Well, the problem there is 1890 isn't the University, so it's a little sticky legally to make a clause in a contract that you have to rep a different legal entities logo.

 

I don't see why.

 

"We've got money we want to pay to you. You want the money. Here are the things we want you to do in order to 'earn' the money: 1) attend a particular school that isn't a participant in this deal; 2) wear said school's team apparel anytime you attend an event involving that school; 3) never wear the team apparel or anything identifiable as being affiliated with any other school; 4) don't do drugs; 5) say nice stuff about our partners (who are also not parties to this deal) on social media whenever we ask you to; and 6) don't say anything about any competing schools' sports teams on social media."

And that's why you never start a 'should we fire the coach' thread after game 9

Lemme get this straight, tho. You think we can insist they play for a particular university that isn't a party to the deal. But we can't require them to exclusively wear that school's logo? Because that's sticky? But requiring them to attend the school would not be sticky?

I'm glad the majority of the article is behind a paywall, because I really don't want to read the full article and learn about redeeming qualities in BS.  By keeping it pay-to-read I can continue to view him as Saruman in my mind.

 

I'm over Creighton; I could not care less about them.  I used to get depressed every time their team plane landed safely; now I don't give a damn.

I said last year… it was post season or bust for me… we opted for another year because we heated up towards the end of the year.

 

So I stated that it was dancing or bust for me this year and I’m holding to that.


Still holding to this, but I think we can do more than Dance.  We can win when we get there too!

Not sure how I missed this. FTR, I'm 1000% behind you on this, so much so that I reached out to the 1890 as have others with way more influence. @Norm Peterson and @HB did an excellent job of making the case about an NU athlete wearing a direct competitors fan clothes. So I have nothing to add other than thanks to both of you.

Kind of interesting that Fred while at NU had been 0-6 against Mich St and 0-6 vs Indiana until now with all the losses by at least 3 possessions previously. Impressive turnaround.

 

With Ioway and Wisky coming up on the schedule, Hoiberg is 3-3 vs Ioway and 2-4 vs Wisky with 2 straight wins vs each of them - considering he was 18-61 in B1G play entering this season, going 5-7 vs Ioway & Wisky basically means he owns them. 😁

 

Hope we can keep things going vs those two over the upcoming week.

Unfortunately there is little incentive to make basketball priority ... yet again. NIL money isn't always some giveaway, it's often an investment business-wise. I don't think the business brokers want to divert much money away from football.

This isn't directly addressed to you @Husker4theSpurs but rather the idea that NIL money isn't going to basketball or that basketball is a  low priority. 

Let me start off by staying that I love Volleyball and I love this NU team. I became a fan of women's volleyball because of this team. I used to attend Volleyball matches at the old Field House when I went to school at NU in the early '90's. Women's volleyball is the only women's team sport that I'll go out of my way to watch. With that said Nebraska basketball is still the #2 sport at UNL. Despite how bad basketball has been at Nebraska for so very long they still generate $1 mil than the women's volleyball team.

Volleyball generates about $525K and Men's basketball generates about $1.5mil. Those numbers have expenses factored into them. Think about that for a minute. Our volleyball is at it's pinnacle right now. On the the other hand our basketball program generates $1.5mil for a bottom feeding program that has never won an NCAA tournament game. A program, since Nee left which has been more than 20yrs ago, has amassed fewer than 5 winning conference seasons. PBA was funded and built for Nebraska Men's Basketball. The previous 2 years to its opening we had consecutive losing seasons. Think there might be some room for growth. If we just moved to the middle of the pack in the BIG we would be generating around $10mil and IMO that's the floor with just a modicum of success, meaning making the NCAA's on a semi-regular basis and winning a couple of games. The ceiling is if we can make some real noise in the NCAA tournament.

I can promise you that the 1890 is not giving basketball the short end of the stick at all. Basketball is very well funded. HCFH has plenty of NIL to compete.

Fred can get to a 7-7 record against IA & WI here relatively soon. Yeah, yeah, you betcha.

I would hope that both Jamie Pollard and Greg Byrne would be favorable towards us.
