Yes, but that was about three presidents ago and it was only him. Anything that happened then has been stopped for years. The issue that got him fired wasn't from giving diplomas, it was from counting credits that shouldn't have been counted which inflated the attendance numbers. Any issues with foreign students was uncovered after that president left, and was cleared up by 2015(?) when their accreditation was renewed for 10 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yote 53 Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Less opportunities for actual student-athletes that want to EARN their athletic scholarship. Way to go NCAA. This will also put a dent in that historic Nebraska Cornhusker walk-on program. Now consider the ripple effect of this. No more P5 walk-ons means they will be taking G5 spots, who will be taking FCS spots, who will be taking D2 spots, who will be taking D3/NAIA spots. Cut the number of spots by 30 at 134 FBS schools means there will be over 4,000 less opportunities to play football each year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, there will just be fewer guys on scholarship who don't play or barely play. This actually makes some sense. No reason for college teams to have rosters twice the size of NFL teams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On they flip side, could this make hockey more feasible in regard to title ix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yote 53 Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 If the roster at Nebraska gets cut from 115 to 85 you think those 30 players are just going to quit the game? No, they'll funnel down to G5 then FCS then D2, etc. Less roster spots means less opportunities to be on a college football team. Simple as that.

Sioux>Bison Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Per Dom Izzo, the NDSU vs SDSU and the USD vs SDSU football games will be picked up by ESPN this fall. Kick times TBD. Sucks for Midco and the Fargo media! The poor Bison fans won’t be able to get it now because they don’t have cable like civilized people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cousin walked on at NDSU. I believe he had decided on NDSU for school long before he decided to walk on. Now NDSU is not Nebraska, but I think they probably have some of those kind of guys too. My dad's cousin walked on at Notre Dame, dude was going to Notre Dame no matter what, happened to be pretty good in high school and decided to be a practice dummy for a historic program. Maybe those two examples are not normal. But yes, fewer roster spots will cause plenty/many(most?) to filter down to other schools. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
