Outside of DFS (fantasy football) I don't gamble. However I think the time is now. Those concerned with addiction, I live in NC and have heard of no major addictions. It would have been reported.

Chad Johnson

I'm tired of going to council bluffs to make my bets.

John Bahr

Legalize all gambling. Why does the state have to dictate what you can and can't do.

Bob Dickson

Stop legislating morality. It is a gross example of dominion over the masses. It's not freedom. Its about power and control. Live and let live.

Not a good thing for college football, but we've got to be ready to match CA and other states, should the NCAA make that call. Schools not on board will of course be left out in the cold.

Frank Johnson

There is no reason to do this.

Randy Milhoan

How many bad ideas do adults have to entertain?

Gambling is evil

Sports betting will eventually create an environment where some individuals will want to influence games..it happens. Plus, sports gambling can hurt some families when betting becomes an addiction .

jon boller

Some folks may benefit from gambling but the odds are many others will suffer serious consequences, which includes children and other members of families who are not involved in gambling.

Tom Gilliand

Will have negative ramifications potentially resulting in scandals!

Robert Enyeart

Reminds me of the "well, other kids are doing it" issue as a parent. Also adds to the "Pay me in addition to my scholarship" Issue. A slippery slope.

I do not care HOW the punting is done. Only that it leads to WINS.

Steve Rentzell

If something is broken, what does it hurt to try something different. Insanity- Doing the same thing and expecting a different result.

Danny Purcell

taking full advantage of college rules

Ron Graf

I like this style of punting. With the roll-out, it keeps the defense honest by keeping them in position in case of runs/throws by the punter.

Anything less than a drop kick just isn't trying. Additionally, NU had a punter who averaged 44 yards a kick and he had to transfer for a player to be named later. Maybe get the rugby guy in and set in place before upending what would have been a solid punting game.

Too much hassle (200 miles away) for an unknown event.

Tom Cullinan

The event is a non-starter compared to the structure of actual plays and the support of young men working to find their place on the team.

Richard Johnson

No interest in 7-on-7.

Dan Larsen

Live in Dayton, Ohio! 800 miles one-way.... but I am a season ticket holder. See you during the season.

Ryan Goecke

If I want to see a carnival or a faire I'll go see one. This change shows fear of being a competitor on the part of Rhule and NU Athletics. It's embarrassing.

Dave Kapke

I live in Colorado

Kent Haynes

I can see both sides. But it is losing a tradition.

Bruce Craig

Losing the best recruiting tool of the spring and losing the money it would bring in is not smart in my opinion.

Robert Lloyd

It's not a game. This was our tradition. Not a good decision on Rhule's part.
