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.

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!!!

The alignment of administration to restoring order of Nebraska now in the BIG is incredible. This choice of a young, competent outsider is consistent with the vision. The Nebraska magic will have him only vacationing in Florida. Get behind him, Huskers.

Honestly it will take time, when you are used to someone like Greg Sharpe it will take time and assessment before you can accept another voice, especially someone outside the Husker Nation circle which can be hard to accept anyway. But if someone puts their all into it then over time can work.

Kelly Maas

do not like his voice. It has no depth IMO.

Trae Taylor isn’t in this class. Poor Dayton Raiola is taking unnecessary heat for not being his brother but he’s great. Somehow, they need to find that one guy in every class that puts himself out there to draw in other recruits. They just haven’t found that dude yet in this class and it shows.

Nope, no trouble whatsoever.

Vaughn Bishop

The tide doesn’t turn on the loss of one player unless that player is a 5 star QB.

This is just part of football.

Alexanderthegreatandterrible

Not at this point. We have many options with the transfer portal and still with plenty of recruits that haven't found a home yet.
