It only hurts the student athlete. But that is what the NCAA always tries to do.

all i think this is is the ncaa being afraid to govern the scc conference because they dont want an compatition

It only hurts the kids whose parents can afford to haul them around the country for camps. Stupid ruling by the NCAA and those six conferences. 2 that wanted to stop it and 4 who can't afford to do

This is proof that the SEC and ESPN are ruling College Football, and not in a good way. There are a lot of kids in the South that live in real poverty. They can't afford to go anywhere to Camp more than a short drive from home. Which is how the SEC and ACC like it.

Mike Leach said it best. The only reason anyone would want them banned is either they're lazy or they're selfishly guarding their recruiting area.

Anything that limits the opportunities for student athletes is a move in the wrong direction by the NCAA, and this limits opportunities. In addition, with official paid JR year visits not available yet, it is difficult for NU to get players onto campus until their SR year, which can be too late.

it does not help potential student athletes, especially those without the money to travel. Another door slams in the face of the lower income. A compromise between no camps and going wild with camps should have been reached.

Where is the democratic process. How about conducting a panel of all conferences to see if it is a viable option to create a bit more parody among them. Rather, let the powers that may be; ie SEC- inparticular Alabama Nick Saben...who, o BTW have 2 private jets to use to go after 4/5 star HS athlete

Underprivileged high school kids' exposure will be diminished or limited to just those universities in their region, and will not see additional opportunities/offers from other outside universities.

The only reason this has happened is that the SEC is trying to protect its territory at the expense of the student-athlete. The SEC wants to cherry pick and leave the also rans scrambling for schools to attend,

It's difficult to grasp how a regulation or restriction imposed from the top down can improve competition and help the quality of play. But that's not what they had in mind, of course.

Did the NCAA indicate why this was in the best interest of the Student-Athlete? Satellite camps provided more opportunities for the Student Athlete to gain exposure to coaches and programs they otherwise wouldn't. This is the SEC tail wagging the NCAA dog, protecting its 'turf'.

For northern schools, it is a chance to have greater visibility in the warmer climates. The southern schools do not want to lose recruits to the northern schools running camps in their back yard!

I do not believe some of the glaring problems with the run defense have not been fixed, and Akron will exploit them.

The D-line against Cincy wasn't overly impressive, our run game was relatively unproductive, and we had some lucky breaks (even if good play contributed). The next two weeks will be important for closing gaps; I don't think we'll wallop Akron quite by 30+ points. I'm guessing we end up 17

We lose this game every time for years. The culture is changing; the confidence is growing; the return to excellence is near. The old fogies who still wish bread was a dime will denigrate the O & D lines & malign the play calling. They forget how bad things have been. This is better. This was a win.

Many times in the past, the Huskers looked not so good against mediocre teams in nonconference, then got their act together for a good season. The Michigan game will be the real barometer.

this time last year, this would have been a loss. Their backs were on the ropes, but managed to pull the W instead. Still need to learn how to keep the foot on the gas, and not let up in all 4 quarters...

What I saw in the trenches is very concerning. Also, that rinky dink 3 yards and a cloud of dust by the throwing the ball offense won't get it done against the big boys.

N was fortunate to win. The O and D lines were underwhelming vs an average B12 team. 8-4 might be optimistic.

The only improvement I saw was only one stupid penalty. A 79% passing rating was overblown with two and three yard completions. D-Line got blown off the ball.

In the last 5 games in 2024 plus this game, NU has only managed to score more than 20 points once with Holgersen's play calling. The OL and DL wasn't impressive. The defense had trouble stopping the run even though Cincy couldn't throw effectively. Do not drink the Kool-Aid yet!

Last seven minutes, Cincy marches down the field and scores, Huskers can't put a final drive together and punt on 4th and 14. Cincy gets ball on the 10, marches, easily, down the field and, thankfully, throws the game away on a poorly executed pass in the end zone. we were dominated in the 4th qrt

No RB depth. Johnson is a star, but will get hurt early in the season if that load continues. D gashed by runs over and over. O didn’t finish drives.

When compared to preseason hype the win raises flags on what is real and what isn’t. The hype = 1995 levels for a team that at best may be a 7 or 8 win team

First off, Cincinatti is better team than Nebraska fans think. But, I was disappointed there is no RB2, Need more deep pass attempts, DLine is smallish & soft. Specail teams look okay so far. My win total has dropped to 7 or 8 vs. 9 wins.

OL showed zero improvement and DL definitely has downgraded. Only 1 legit RB. WRs struggled to get separation. Once again misled by the biased Nebraska media during the offseason. Exactly why I don't drink the Kool-Aid
