one of the top QBs in the class randomly signs with Nebraska on signing day after having previously verbaled to Georgia, a perennial national championship contender... you do the math. NE has been reported to have most NIL $$ for WVB. TX and WI were next, not sure which is 2nd. If the rumors are true, NE is also well stocked in NIL $$ for football. The math is rather obvious. Also heard a desire to experience cold and snow was a factor. Juxtapose that against the rumors NE is opening a satellite campus somewhere in FL I grew up wintering in Michigan, and I promise Nebraska is not a cold situation for most people in the midwest or northeast. It's really only kids from the south and Cali that would have issues in Neb. Also, a university system with zero competing professional programs -- it really isn't hard to see why they're raking it in. |

This is John Cook we're talking about. 100% think he's capable of machinations You see nothing but evil and manipulations in Cook. Guarentee the addition of Landfair was discussed with team members. I’m sure it was, but I’m also sure some of the team members weren’t happy about it, and JCook knew they wouldn’t be, and he did it anyway. My key thesis is that Landfair would have improved Wisconsin greatly, so part of the appeal of Landfair to JCook is denying her from Wisconsin. |

It's not the degree of cold or the amount of snow, it's the lack of cover to block those +50 mph winds. However, lots of trees in Lincoln, so that mitigates the wind. |

NE had a roster of 14 in 2023, and two donors pledged $5M each over 10 years, Or $1M/yr from just 2 donors for NIL. You do the math. Edit: Some football recruits are reportedly being promised $millions per year. one of the top QBs in the class randomly signs with Nebraska on signing day after having previously verbaled to Georgia, a perennial national championship contender... you do the math. His father played football at NU, not so random. If that was not the case I would guess NU would not be in the picture, all things being equal. Georgia has NIL money too. |

It so happens that the first transfer window ended Jan 1 while Nebraska’s Spring semester started Jan 2. The second transfer window ends May 15. Since players can’t lose their current semester scholarship, but can lose their next semester scholarship, it is in Krause’s and Batenhorst’s best interest to enter the portal sometime Jan 2 - May 15. It will be interesting to see if they entered the portal on Jan 1. TL and Krause are fairly comparable to each other, so JCook getting TL won’t be a huge upgrade. Krause being the incumbent and from Nebraska would probably prevail over TL in a tie. JCook’s bigger win in this is denying Sheffield TL’s talent. I can’t imagine the Nebraska OH room would be a happy place if all five OHs on their current 2024 roster stay. Nebraska’s spring semester doesn’t start until Jan 22nd. Jan 2nd is their spring pre-session that is only a few weeks, so the 22nd date is what matters in this situation but one thing that gets tossed out on here often is athletes losing their scholarships. For grad transfers, it is slim that if they enter the portal before spring classes start they would lose their scholarships. Most coaches want them to graduate and complete that degree as it’s a good look for program numbers. So if Krause or Ally jumped in the portal today to leave after the spring it’s highly unlikely Cook would pull their money this spring. And the spring transfer window is May 1-15, but again for grad transfers they could enter anytime they want so if they were worried about losing scholarship, Jan 22 is that target date for entering. |

They do, and it may not matter as a result, but thinking of all the angles might be one reason JCook has been so successful (except against Wisconsin the last six years, another reason why he might have this aspect in mind). |

JCook’s bigger win in this is denying Sheffield TL’s talent. Calling a former 1st-team AA and someone who hasn't even made an all-conference end of season team "fairly comparable' is wild and crazily unfair to Landfair lol. I get she just had a down year and all, but she has proven she can be a terminator getting 4+ K/S on an elite team where opposing blockers can camp on the pins because Minny doesn't set their middles. And it's not like Krause bring some sort of elite defense or serve receive (she passed a 1.78 last year, which is worse than Landfair by the way lol) to the table to even out the comparisons. Also, in the event of a tie, Landfair has two more years of eligiblity, Krause only has 1, so it would probably tilts towards Landfair simply because of that (ironically, kinda similar to how Krause (and Batenhorst) was the starter by the end of her freshman year over Lexi Sun). See if your impression of Krause improves when she ends up being the piece Wisconsin adds to improve their team |

Agreed JCook doing that would look bad and unlikely per your excellent comments (also I suspect he has availability with Jurevicius having transferred to Penn State). But he could, so my point is that Krause and Batenhorst would be better off waiting an extra day to enter the portal, so it would be interesting if they didn’t. |

Someone mentioned Raiola's father played at Nebraska, and his uncle, with whom he's reportedly close, is our Offensive Line coach. So lots of family ties. Dylan visited Memorial Stadium/Lincoln a few times as a kid. Without those family ties, I wonder if there was enough money to entice him to Lincoln through NIL. This was as much a "who you know" as $$$. |

I agree with the idea, the magic date though is the 22nd. But could be any time before then if they get assurance their money is good. So if they have the convo with Cook about entering and emphasize their desire to graduate in the spring, it would be a bad look not to let them at this point.

I agree with the idea, the magic date though is the 22nd. But could be any time before then if they get assurance their money is good. When my kid went in before spring semester as a grad it was only because coach said her money is good for the spring because they want her to graduate and even gave ok to go in early before the season was over to beat the rush. So if they have the convo with Cook about entering and emphasize their desire to graduate in the spring, it would be a bad look not to let them at this point. you’re right on Jan 22 being the magic date, I didn’t look closely enough at their academic calendar page. |

I am glad Nebraska in volleyball with our NIL, resources, facilities and such are amongst the very best in the country. What other sports in a two million populated state can say that? I don’t feel at all the guilt of such stature. Nor do I feel any apologies are necessary. I understand fan bases that don’t have such assets. But I will not lose sleep to fans of college volleyball or teams they love who don’t posses such assets. . No one is asking you to lose sleep. If what you're saying is correct, then the Huskers are effectively a professional team. That being so, what is your answer to my question, with everybody effectively a free agent on a year by year basis, why isn't every top player--say first or second team AA--in the portal and angling for her 6 figure movie star stipend? This is neither praise nor criticism. Just a question: why would anyone good enough to "move up" to a school offering a lot more money, not try for it? Ok, not every single person will be money-motivated. But I find it hard to believe that any team has anything like the money that Nebraska, Texas, and maybe Wisconsin can offer. If you can make $100K at school X and $10K at your current school, most will take the money and run. |

Youre so musty.. funk... take a shower 304. Your still embarrassed by calling her to WI. As far as bought her, I suspect all of the NE VB players make at least $50k of NIL, most over $100k. Money in college sports has been extreme for decades. What changed is now the SA's get some trickle down. BTW it's ALL trickle down. Those in the middle and lower levels do best in rich systems. Just how it is. Really not mad she choose the $ - I get it, I agree with you that it's all about the Benji's.... well not all programs/players.... but a large percentage |

Thanks for furthering my point. |
