Kids coming out of High School know IF they are good enough to play in the NBA they only need to stay 1 year. Unlike Duke Kentucky most colleges can't reload every year so leadership is important.
Echo the other comment on recruiting. If he's even a GOOD recruiter (I'm sure he will be) vs. a GREAT recruiter and has the X's and O's to develop a good system....the rest will fall in line.
I want to see if he can recruit. After watching the NCAA tournament it is obvious every one of those teams, even the 12 seeds, played at a level the huskers could never match. Not by a long shot.
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.
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 $$.
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.
I feel like leadership will take care of the X's and O's.
