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.

Exactly what Jeremy just said …. duh 😂

No matter how bad it looks, Dannen has to do what's necessary to keep the athletic department in the black financially. That's the bottom line. He can't allow millions in revenue to be lost just to save face.

Live in Nashville and have been waiting for this game for years. TN canceled the first one for the VTech game in Bristol. We need to be playing more elite teams outside the big10. That was what the expanded playoffs were for, more best on best games. Now we look like the typical SEC team, weak.

Kelly Smith

Stadium Reno is a horrible excuse. It is cowardice....

Jeremy Lojack

It's not cowardice. Dannen only recently was given the numbers on when and how much the South Stadium renovation would cost. He made this move to add an 8th home game to keep the athletic dept from losing millions of $$.

VAHuskerFan

It definitely seems very cowardly, very disappointed.

Jeff Barker

Terrible decision

Not all fans live in Big 10 country, and this was the one game on a future schedule that was within driving distance for me. Not to mention the Smoky Mountains would've been a great travel destination for our fans. The "stadium remodel" excuse seems like a cop-out.

Leo Jelinek

Gets Rhule two wins and makes Dannebrog look good.

Jeff 725

Bad optics.

Unfortunately, that January slide might be a bit too much to overcome. I hope they prove me wrong.

Jeremy Lojack

With their record, they'll be lucky to sneak into the tourney. NIT seems more likely.

George mcdaniel

It is 50 50 if they will make it or not

Roger Shriver

No great BIG teams this year so they sneak in, get a 9 or 10 seed, and continue their perfect record in the Big Dance :).
