With the NCAA Tournament expanding to 76 teams…why are so many teams scared to do home-and-homes with Nebraska or play them in Sioux Falls? May 05, 2026

Show notes

-The premise of this needs to be understood as the tournament expanding by 8 teams---Bill said the other day that more teams in the playoff in

football and in basketball should make regular season games be BETTER because of less to lose; more to gain

-Husker Online’s Robin Washut has been reporting that teams are not interested in scheduling home-and-home matchups with Nebraska in

non-conference because of the difficulty of winning at PBA---major shoutout to Fred, the team, and fans on that---and that it’s been difficult to

get anyone to play Nebraska in Sioux Falls….which is understandable for how great that crowd is for the Huskers

A comment about Nebraska football from an On3 podcast shares what a lot of the fanbase feels about this 2026 team…and it’s not great May 05, 2026

Show notes

-On3 podcast ‘Crain and Cone’ was doing their post-spring B1G Power Rankings and had Nebraska at 10 th …mediocre once again…but it was this

comment that stood out: “It just seems like Nebraska doesn’t have enough. You had one of the best running backs in the country last year who

got overshadowed because you really didn’t do anything. Matt Rhule is a builder and has been in the past, but at some point you gotta be able

to live in the apartments.” More of a comment about they aren’t bad, they’re just not very good. Fun!

-Also, Nebraska does not land 5-star tight end Ahmad Hudson, as he stays in-state with LSU and Lane Kiffin…no big surprise

Money is good in the B1G as seen by $1.37 BILLION distributed to its 18 school members during fiscal year 2024-25 May 04, 2026

Show notes

-It’s sizable news because it’s a $490 million increase from the 2023-24 fiscal year, and allocates an average of $76.1 million to each

school (Washington and Oregon have a reduced share because of being new to the league)

-The SEC had reported $1.03 billion earlier this year so even though that’s amazing---the B1G has more
