I am all for paying to watch. Not sure 200 stones is in the budget for this Nebraska-bred now in Indiana kid if most are free though. If they can get $20/game that seem acceptable.

Dennis Paulsen

We are Nebraska and Husker Football is part of our identity. Letting Husker football suffer, is letting COVID 19 win.

Carolyn Ingels Schroeder

$200 is a small price to pay to keep the Huskers rolling along.

Scott Dreas

I'm in but how would that work ABC, ESPN, and BTN, aren't all games already televised? Wouldn't the networks have to give up games for PPV?

Mike Petersen

I'm in but not at this price. Each B10 team would have 4 games televised on Big 10 Network and these would all be PPV at $15 each. The remaining games on other networks would be free as usual.

Matt Seiler

I'm in but only as a last ditch effort. I believe they can seat more than 20k in the stands. Let the rich help them out instead of grabbing into the pockets of the middle class who need this outlet

Dale Meyer

I live in London!

John Something

Just because NU football is my one only escape every year. Definitely willing to fork it up to watch Big Red. GBR!!

Robert Flanagan

I would do it if for no other reason than nebraska and it's football program cannot afford a lack of a season and if this would hlep then I say I'm ALL FOR IT !!

Doug Miller

I'm in with a big IF. As a remote Husker who "cut the cord" years ago it's, at times, difficult to see the games. So yes, but... they had better put a better product on the field.

I'm already paying the price of a season ticket plus donation fee. If I am unable to attend the game or games why would I pay an additional amount when I could watch it free on TV? This makes no sense

Gale Cogswell

I won't watch the games. I am tired of the Huskers.

S Heese

As much as I would love to see football this fall, I can't ethically wrap my head around this. The economy is collapsing, people are out of jobs and money is desperately needed in more important areas

John Thompson

I have a Radio.. it's a SCAM-DEMIC.. play the games let fans make the choice.

Doug Miller

I have difficulties getting the radio broadcast as I live in Charlotte. I still have to pay one way or another.

Douglas Norman

It's not that big of a deal to me whether or not football is played TBH. There are much more things that I can find to on Saturdays.

Doug Miller

I'm very much afraid I wouldn't miss it, Yuck

Ron Joseph

I will just go to the Oklahoma Cornhusker Club watch party in Tulsa and watch it there!! GBR

When the administrations bring their spending under control instead of using the meglamillions package they get, then maybe. Not wanting anarchy, but common sense to enter the picture.

I think he’d have adapted. He might not have been early first round but I think he’d have been in the first round. IMO... he had better receivers here than at LSU! 😁

trevors951

not like LSU was lighting the wrld on fire b4 He got there. the no talent point at NU is overplayed to cover 4 lack of play-calling, dvlpment etc esp with top 25 classes and outrecruiting BTWest oppo

RJ Heinen

He would have been sacked a lot and if he could withstand the injury bug then yes late first round.

It takes more than one player to be successful. Without a solid line and multiple talented targets, Joe wouldn't have risen above obscurity in my opinion. If he played for a 90's Husker team-yes

Randy Wolf

Frost is too in love with Martinez. Which means the best quarterback on the roster this season will not play.

Randy Weitzenkamp

Frost was stuck on Martinez, 3rd stringers rarely get drafted in the 1st round.

Shane Schmidt

Lsu is a top notch program in the SEC Nebraska hasn't been a top notch program in over 20 years!

Doug Miller

And wouldn't have won the Heisman.

Ron Joseph

As others have said, it takes a whole team. He would have been average at best here because we don't have the OL or skilled players to allow him to rise to the top. Hopefully we will soon for a QB

Paul F Edwards

If he would have done better than Martinez, it would not have been by much. With essentially horrible line play, no running or passing game, no QB could have done much better

Lonty Bryant

Not enough talent up front

Matt Seiler

The O line is definitely trending upward but between bad pass pro at times and not enough play making receivers, no QB could have had a great year with the Huskers last year.

John Pankonin

Would not have had the line protection nor the receiver speed.

100% they should be able to leave when they want

Jane

Of course!

Matt Arnold

As long as they don't sign with an agent then yes absolutely. Agents are where players get in trouble. If the NFL and NCAA want to clean things up then they would punish agents when they do wrong.

No they shouldn't

Justin Miller

Without a minor league system and with most players not physically ready for the NFL, the current system reduced to two accrued seasons would be ideal.

Rachel Jarvis Saunders

Because an education in inherent in the word "college" so a degree would be a priority

Doug Miller

This isn't the NBA. Consider the length of time it takes to develop into collegiate form. The NFL would destroy them.
