Nebraska Football reveals training facility
My son, who lives in Lincoln and uses my season tickets, sent me this (see link below) video of the new Osborne Legacy Center. Nebraska is a small State, but they love their football; and they show it by the amount of money they spend.

Nebraska has some donors/alumni with deep pockets. Football, even over the past few years when the program stunk, was a cash cow. As of last week (Colorado game) they have had 398 consecutive sell-outs. And that is a stadium that seats 90,000.

A lot of their skill players come from outside the state. Most of their offensive lineman come from small towns in the state. Most of these players couldn't afford to attend and as the post says they love their football so many of these towns have "scholarship funds" which they award to players from the town. Saves the school on scholarships for other positions. Granted not every lineman will be great but it was sorta NIL money before there was NIL money (except of course in the $EC)
