The strength program... Lol. Dude will make enough NIL money to hire his own personal trainer and nutritionist if that's what he really wants to do. Silly.Perusing the Nebraska boards
Fan fiction
Have confidence in our NIL program. If we're going to break the bank on a recruit this cycle. This is the guy.I think we’re definitely confident. I do think Ohio State has gotten pretty desperate though. No telling what kind of NIL they are capable of throwing out. Still feel like we’re the favorite though.
Nebraska slid down gradually before they changed conferences. Texas HS fed the entire Big 12 and about 95% of those high schools ran the spread. Nebraska never found a dynamic QB to run it.I think the Nebraska/steroid angle is a bit overblown. Yes, it certainly impacted their program, but it’s not like the NCAA hadn't been testing for steroids before 1998. Additionally, Nebraska was ahead of the curve on the use of creatine. What really hurt them was the B12 nixing Prop 48/partial qualifiers, which Nebraska had feasted on heavily during the 80s and 90s.
In addition, limiting roster size also had a negative impact. Nebraska’s famous walk-on program gave them a significant advantage over most schools. They often had rosters consisting of close to 150 players, many of whom were good enough to be scholarship players. However, due to Nebraska's low in-state tuition rates or out-of-state recruits being awarded “academic scholarships,” they were able to circumvent scholarship limits.
Ohio has a state income tax…..so a percentage of that NIL is going right back to them. I’d hammer that one home if I was TennesseeI think we’re definitely confident. I do think Ohio State has gotten pretty desperate though. No telling what kind of NIL they are capable of throwing out. Still feel like we’re the favorite though.
