I know people think this is a football podcast, and it is during the football season. But, during the off-season, we go in many different directions. 

Nebraska basketball has been wrong all season. It's getting worse! The Huskers blew a lead at home late on Saturday and lost to Rutgers 63-61. At this recording, Nebraska is 6-15 overall and 0-10 in the Big 10. 

During the football season, there was a lot of speculation about the job status of Scott Frost. Fred Hoiberg is sitting on a seat that is flaming hot. Fred has an 18-million dollar buyout of his contract Trev Alberts fires him. Can Nebraska afford to get rid of Hoiberg? The bigger question might be, can they afford not to get rid of him? 

We don't ignore football in this episode. We talk a lot about name, image, and likeness and the almost weekly changes in this space. What will Nebraska do to keep pace with competitors like Ohio State? A major booster for the Buckeyes started a NIL charitable fund for athletes and hired former Buckeye quarterback Cardel Jones to run it, making him a de facto General Manager. It's the wild, wild west out there folks with no boundaries and a lot of money to be made. 

What about the Big 10 Conference thinking about getting rid of divisions and eliminating one conference game? We dive into this topic; our opinion is that it's a good thing because of where college football is going. The league is thinking 5-10 years down the road and giving conference teams the best shot at making an expanded college football playoff.
