-Sip pointed out yesterday that Husker baseball hasn’t won a conference tournament since 2005…what would it mean if they did that this week in front of home fans in Omaha?

We officially have a lawsuit in the NIL space…will this lead to more down the road for potential unfulfilled promises? May 22, 2024

Show notes

-Georgia QB Jaden Rashada, originally a Florida commit, has filed a lawsuit against Florida head coach Billy Napier, top Gators booster Hugh Hathcock, and former football staffer Marcus Castro-Walker over a failed NIL deal that would have paid him $13.85 million, per a suit filed in federal court on Tuesday

-Rashada was a Miami (FL) commit with a reported $9.5 million deal with LifeWallet and Miami booster John Ruiz, which actually ended up being just $150,000 and then Rashada committed to Florida, before spending last year at Arizona State, and now at Georgia. What a mess.

-Also, Nebraska loses 15-2 to Ohio State in the Big 10 Tournament. They play Purdue next.

Do Husker fans fully comprehend that the state of Nebraska is the Volleyball Capital of the World? / Shut Up Sipple (sponsored by Bagels & Joe) May 21, 2024

Show notes

-If that wasn’t evident already, it should be now with the attendance at Omaha Supernovas teams; they averaged just over 9,600 fans in attendance at home games at CHI Health Center and had 10,678 fans for the finals on Saturday

-Husker volleyball averaged 12,603 fans per match this year in the NCAA, leading the way---what if the team ever slows down and comes back to the pack when John Cook eventually retires?

-How much volleyball can the state truly support? Another pro volleyball league is on the way in…
