...and that's with a football program that is stuck in the dumper.

but, AAU accreditation or not, NU is a top ten revenue generating college athletic department, and top 5 in the upcoming Big Ten.  Our place seems fairly secure IMO.

Well perhaps but it is being discussed 

Thanks for that link.  Interesting, I hadn't been aware that there was any talk of any kind of consolidation like this.

It has been floated that UNO and UNK be brought into the UNL umbrella

 

No serious person would think this could be even a remote possibility, plus it wouldn't move the AAU needle in even the slightest for U of N.

just co-opting the UN Medical Center will get the accreditation back.

 

This is the path, and it should have been done before we lost AAU membership.  We had at least a decade to get this done and failed to do so.  This move would also put us in line with our peers like Kansas, Mizzou, Iowa and others.

Y'all probably thought I was being hyperbolic when I posted this:

So it's not just the players; apparently even the assistants hate Greg Gard and are jumping off the Wisconsin ship:

With all due respect to Fansided and this author, they will let any moron print anything on that site.

Maybe with some NIL money he can afford to get lasik.

Woodson can use all the NIL money he wants. Fred coached circles around him though this season.

Yeah, I mean, didn't Indiana have like 3 5* guys in their starting lineup last year?  I don't think talent acquisition has ever been their main issue.

We have now discovered where Keisei's true allegiance lies in the Nebraska Spring League

Interesting baby picture

 

At first glance I thought that was a Scott Frost jersey, but upon closer inspection it appears to be an Eric Crouch instead.  Which, given his age, makes a bit more sense.

Wow!  What an amazing environment.  72,000 fans!  It's too bad we couldn't get a result but man that was a fun game to be at.

Seems to have had trouble staying healthy. One full season in four years. 

Could be a perfect fit for the Blaise Kieta role eh?

And to think this whole dang thing started when SMU fired their coach.  
 

SMU hired from USC, USC from Arky, Arky from Kentucky.

Such a strange spin on the 'ol carousel this time.  Usually the schools hire in descending levels of prestige, but this time it was ascending.  It's been a fun ride for sure with lots of intrigue and drama!

The official broadcast partner of Creighton athletics.  Seems like we have our answer on where he plans to go then, eh?

and let me just add that Scott Drew would, IMO, be a perfect fit at Kentucky being a midwest guy and he and his dad are both legends at Valpo.

No idea what happens but here is a reliable source stating the same thing

 

 

Sure, but targeting a guy is a lot different animal than putting an offer on the table.

People on Reddit are saying this is not a reliable source.  Not saying that Drew isn't in the mix or even that he hasn't been offered, but take this tweet for what it's worth I guess.
