This would send a strong message that NW simply will not tolerate coaches who go 1-11 AND are complicit in the sexual assault of their players AND create media **** storms for University leadership.

Lines must be drawn!

Ask Wilbon and other media types.. they wanted us booted out of B1G .

I see those same folks are still silent .. 🤔
Definitely most of the media wanted Nebraska kicked out, the ironic part is the sec and I believe the big 12 played all their games and I don’t recall mass death toll! Hell the big 10 only played conference games in baseball that spring. Just goes to show that Warren was simply a political appointee

How was Nebraska wanting to play football in 2020 Covid year a scandal?
In your beloved B1G, attempting to play football while the cold is going around is much worse than employing serial rapists for decades

Again, a very important reminder: there are posters here who believe, loudly and proudly, that these demented sickos are the people our Nebraska values are most closely align with

I'll continue to speak out against organizations that deem sexual abuse to be no big deal off the field while being a disgrace on the field

you are free to be an active part of the cover up if you wish, disgusting pathetic Godless B1G lover

Not a big 10 lover like you like to label people, I just don’t $&it on them every chance I get…

Nebraska administration made the right move 12 years ago to enter this conference..

These new updates saying they 'erred' indicates to me that Fitzgerald is 100% done. Fully expecting him to be fired before the suspension ends.

Fitz is toast. They have a mid-3 star OT committed, 6-7, 240 with a marginal offer list (Oregon St, Wash St, Fresno). He looks like about it to be poached.

How could you possibly think this? Serious question. We have literally done nothing but spiral down the drain of irrelevance and suck over the last 12 years. The only positive anyone with any rational thought process ever comes up with is the added money, which has resulted in nothing for us.

He is done for sure. They should go out and hire a dude like Ken N (the Navy coach that got canned last year or two years ago)

He would stay there as long as they wanted him, he is used to recruiting to a high academic level, He would bring in his system and unless I missed something, he is very really respected.

The wheels are in motion to find and hire a new coach.
I wonder if they would consider hiring Jim Leonhard from Wisconsin. Maybe Paul Chryst? I doubt that there’s much out there for them at this time of the year. One thing for sure - they won’t hire anyone from the current staff.

I have no problem with you speaking out against those deplorable circumstances. I do struggle a bit with you saying Nebraska fans are good with it. You are equating two things that do not go together at all. I don’t know if any Nebraska fan that says this is still closer to who we are. Not a single one.

Maybe it’s the change in conferences. Or maybe it’s the terrible coaching. If we continue to circle the drain under Rhule, then the proof is in the pudding.

Our misfortune was all self inflicted by hiring Eichorst as AD not knowing how to hire a head coach and SF failing when most of us thought he was the home run hire and he turned out the totally opposite..

Sometime soon, I expect Fitz to deny knowing anything about it. But then he'll spew some load of B.S. about "not wanting to be a distraction," as he steps down out of deep love and respect for Dear Old Northwestern U.
You are spot on with this statement. (Plus, Northwestern will pay him off if he goes away quietly)

But all these schools are AAU members - so there's that.
For those wanting to defend or minimize this, are you minimizing the same types of brutality outside of sports? These schools, coaches and administrators that work to allows this on the margins, they do it it

Elitist mindset has some major issues in it. Scandals like this current issue at NW seem to be a growing part of that mindset, that it is acceptable, or at worst case excusable. It isn’t.

Guessing most of the major whiners on this celebrate the things forced on grade school kids these days…people that can’t actually defend themselves. Pretty easy to walk off the team and transfer. I’m sure Graham Spanier was liked by many also…

I would argue it was "A" decision, but not the best one. Nebraska could have sought entrance into the SEC. I don't think they even tried.

I would rather not see anything associated with my State be involved with any organization with that sweeps under the rug pedophiles, sexual criminals, and perverts. These fools talking about kicking Nebraska out due to wanting to play football and yet not a word about all this sicko crap at the other University's signals to me that they think they are WAY above anything.

These overly self-important narcissists who have a problem looking in the mirror and not seeing the monster, have voted Nebraska, a conference member, out of the AAU.

Associates with the conference have talked about kicking Nebraska out of the conference publicly in the media.

I think Nebraska overpaid to get into the big ten in order to rub shoulders with the man-boy-love party members.

It's a damn shame. Nebraska really is too good for this conference if you ask me and I don't think that is an over exaggeration in the slightest.

Won’t disagree totally with ya, but the B1G showed the FIRST interest and the SEC wasn’t even thinking about expanding till the B1G did…

Since we joined the conference there is no question that it has had way too many scandals and embarrassing ones at that..

If the school determines that what took place was bad enough to get rid of the head coach then how do you also not fire the rest of the staff who also knew what was going on and most certainly were more involved/aware at the player level … likewise how do you not suspend the upper upperclassmen who adjudicated these “penalties”

Not sure how you can just get rid of the head coach particularly if you consider yourself amongst the academically and enlightened elite

If NW claims to be who they want the rest of us to believe they are then …. given it is already July …. they should suspend all football related activities and resume in 2024

Sucking and being in the better conference are not related. We sucked all on our own. Our success in the B1G has been set up from the very beginning. We were supposed to be the powerhouse of a weak West.

Ehhhh! Sorry Nebraska. Tell 'em what he's going home with, Johnny! I'll be very happy, Bob! You've won a year's supply of Del Monte mixed vegetables! And thank you for playing B1G West football.

But seriously, it was all there for the taking. Still is. Coach Rhule is doing what should have been done since the firing of Coach Solich. Build the program. You can't just think about one star player changing everything. You have to build a foundation. Now, what does that have to do with a conference? Nothing. Our lack of success is our own undoing. Our conference affiliation has nothing to do with that.

This conference sucks. They do not want us and have done everything they can to screw us over from day 1. How anyone can still think being part of this **** show was a good idea is beyond me. Yes Nebraska needs to care of if their business and get better, but we will have to be so dam good to over come the inevitable screw jobs from the B1G.

For YEARS we made fun of the Big Ten, rightfully so, then we joined and some fans started to pretend like it was awesome.

You support them every time you turn on the TV to watch B1G football. Guaranteed you watched Ohio St v Mich, Ohio St. v Georgia and Mich v TCU. Get off your high horse, no one condones these actions. Everyone can separate these issues from just wanting to sit on a Friday/Saturday and watch college football.

Well, the talking heads can start threatening to kick the perverts out of the conference then to make the messaging to the members equal amongst the old and new.

Otherwise I hope the big ten gets regulated where it's surely most needed.

Was way worse in the B12. Way worse. How does anyone over 30 forget that?
What was worse? An honest question. Big 12 treatment towards Nebraska or scandals in the conference? I'm over 30 and would like to know what angle you are talking about.
