Compensation has always been tied to market value. These athletes are worth far more than they're being compensated, and that's been the case for over a century. Hence, they've been ripped off. I support salary, salary cap, and education on how to invest it in 401k style accounts.

Much more controllable, and much more equitable.

It has to fair across the board, from Fordham to Alabama. one monthly stipend for everyone, not just scholarship players. There has to be a limit on how many players all schools should abide by. Determine the national budget and every school must contribute.

Everyone who already commented believes in the same thing I do.

Chuck Siegel

Compensation changes the entire dynamic of college athletics, and not in a positive way.

Robert Lloyd

They should be students and NOT professional athletes. If they want to get paid they can go pro. Personally, I believe they should cancel all sports in public schools and colleges though I love our Huskers.

Don Scott

Put myself through school in the 70's. They are getting for exchange of their athletic prowess what I had to work and save for. The two summers after high school I drove alfalfa trucks 12 hours a day 7 days a week. EARN IT!

Scott Ferguson

They already live better than most students. Free room and board, tutors, clothing, and actual education cost.

Dan List

They are compensated with room and board plus an education. The perks they get as athletes now are unbelievable!!!

New DC, Less experience... Will be GREAT if D can adjust, But I'm not drinking that kool-aid until we see it on game day. Offense should be one of the best we've had in a long time. Definitely on them to lead the way :)

Robert Lloyd

I look for the offense to be one of the best in the country this year with Holgorson as the OC.

I like this one a lot better than the last... I think it'd be cooler it there was a little red mixed in with the white...

Bill Streit

I don't know about everyone else but white Husker wear black the fans should wear black that day instead of a sea red you would have a csea of black shirts black out day

Brett Nelson

Cool, clean design.

Lisa Whisenhunt

I like the clean classic look

Christopher Benson

It’s time to break out of the clutches of pointless and boring conventionalism.

Mike O

As long as the players assume the same attitude of the Black Knight in Monty Python's Holy Grail. It's only a flesh wound.

Jim Eason

Really? Voting on uniforms!? If there were an option labelled "Who Cares?", it would get MY vote. Let's play football!

George mcdaniel

These uniforms look good

Clark Huenink

I like Black, just for one game though

We really don't need an ugly alternate uniform. It's the play on the field that counts, not the uni's.

Doug Einsel

Huskers havent had much luck when playing in alternate uniforms.

ALAN JAIXEN

keep the tradition alive.

Bill Scheef

Please keep your over the top conservative political references off of this site. Be careful for what you wish for...sir !

Chad Alexander

Once again. That's the best that Adidas can come up with!? I see Nike & Under Armor alternate uniforms from othe Univ. that seem to me really cool, like Stars & Stripes logos or school colored camo. Maybe Adidas can hire a designer that doesn't suck? Or maybe the UNL can step out of there comfort

Brian Ostdiek

Just think it could have been done better

Nebr is all about tradition. Don't do it.

Ray D

I've seen better, more creative, black setups from Nebraska. If you're going to spend the effort to do an alternate, make it special...go Oregon mode.

Wade Williams

I grew up in the south, in the 80's. Teams with ugly, all one color unis were SWAC teams, that's what I always equated that with, a lower level of competition. I do recall NU wearing all red against OU in 1987. It came off as gimmicky & I hated it. But if todays kids want it, so be it.

Michael DePuglio

wore black against UCLA a few years back and blew a 21 point lead...and lost.

Mark Rasmussen

Don’t like any alternate uniforms. Stay with the classic NE look
