There’s a fine balance. Keep their scholarship money the same and if they want to build their brand with a 3rd party - let them!

There will be problems going forward with NIL. The D1 institutions created this monster by chasing money by way of conference realignment, paying outlandish salaries to coaches,AD’s , etc. The players are only wanting part of the action.

If they do then they also should have to pay for their courses, no scholarships

This would make them professionals, just indirectly rather than direct sponsorship.

I'd rather see a state law prohibiting state employees from publicly supporting professional or college sports, that includes attending games.

99% have full scholarships, that is enough!! It is such a shame that so much is given to athletics.

Many people with scholarships have part time jobs. Are you saying that athletes don't deserve an alternate income source? That seems rather biased to me.

Cook is an outstanding coach and I wouldn't trade him for anyone, but Pettit built the program into one of national prominence.

look what happened after Tom Osborne. It is harder to sustain after you are already at the top

Coach Pettit Deserves credit for putting Nebraska to the top, but Coach Cook has not only won the games, 4 National Championships, but has kept Nebraska up as other schools have developed.
