Readers pose some good questions about the Huskers.
Now that for the time being, the $450 million renovation of South Stadium has been shelved, do you think that's a good idea? And do you think that's the reason Trev Alberts left Nebraska?Barron: You've asked two very good questions. The reno of the South Stadium and Memorial Stadium would have been a logistics nightmare. The project would have meant taking a large chunk of Husker fans out of about 14 Husker home games over a span of two years.
As far as your second question goes, I believe the problem Alberts had with the renovation project wasjust one of the reasons he left.I enjoyed your two columns about Matt Rhule when he was at Temple and then at Baylor. One thing that stands out to me. After he got those two teams turned around, he left for greener pastures. Do you think that if he gets the Huskers back to winning a lot of games, that he'll do the same and leave Nebraska?Hugh: Great question! I've wondered that myself.
But first things first: Rhule has to turn around the Husker football program. Let's hope that begins this fall.What are your thoughts on the new NCAA ruling that caps the number of football players on a D-1 football team at 105? Isn't this going to end the famous Husker walk-on program?Barb: The ruling isn't final yet, but it looks as though it's sadly soon going to be the law of the land.
Certainly not programs like Nebraska's. Not for the kids who walk on at Nebraska hoping to fulfill their life-long dreams of one day being able to play for the Big Red.
