Anthony Colandrea isn’t here to just win 8 games---he’s here to win it all, per an On3 article—and why shouldn’t he have that expectation? May 14, 2026

Show notes

-Nebraska’s new starting QB chatted with On3’s Pete Nakos in an article released yesterday and chatted about the season ahead and

his path to Lincoln, and the article ended with his expectations: making the playoff, not being happy with 8 wins, and wanting high

expectations, including being in the Heisman race himself

-It’s what he should say, but it’s treated with an eyeroll by a fanbase---and a conference, really—who have waited for a long time for

Nebraska to be relevant in the national scene…what a welcome sight it would be

Sean Callahan (Husker Online) May 13, 2026

Show notes

Some financial data about Nebraska’s rev share/NIL brings questions about if fans are being fair enough to Matt Rhule… May 13, 2026

Show notes

-Sip wrote yesterday morning for Husker Online that financial data shows that Nebraska is operating with about $29 million for rev

share/NIL, where as Ohio State and Oregon are among 6 schools in the country at $50 million or more with their rosters

-Indiana is seen to be around $45-50 million, which now makes sense as they are the defending national champions and have made

back-to-back playoffs appearances…is this a valid excuse for Nebraska or just another data point?
