The latest big news in college sports and how it impacts Nebraska football
We’re here for you on a Sunday night at the end of a newsy weekend in college sports. And this is a mailbag episode to make up for Friday, just in time to take your questions about potential changes to the five-for-five eligibility situation. Also, the Big Ten and the SEC gave the green light for a Congressional overhaul of college sports. How does all of it affect the Huskers? Is Nebraska leaving money on the table by waiting to secure a jersey patch? Or is Troy Dannen a step ahead of Nebraska’s rival programs? What’s the No. 1 reason to be skeptical about the Huskers’ D-line? Are there rules in asking questions at Big Ten media days? Do the media members all know each other and get along? We finish with some Big Ten coaching superlatives. Join us at the start of a big week. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Nebraska football at Big Ten media days: Coordinators unleashed?
Nebraska’s appearance at Big Ten media days is over. Matt Rhule and the Huskers flew into Chicago and out on Thursday without generating any major headlines on a day that featured Indiana and Michigan. A constant from Rhule in his sessions with the media? This is the year that the coordinators, Dana Holgorsen and Rob Aurich, get more room to actually run their systems, according to Rhule. It’s something to watch as the 2026 season begins. We heard from Luke Lindenmeyer, Andrew Marshall and Justin Evans. Anthony Colandrea and Owen Chambliss, the quarterbacks on offense and defense, earned praise from the head coach. And Curt Cignetti took the stage in a circus-like atmosphere.

Troy Dannen weighs in ahead of Nebraska’s visit to Big Ten media days
One the eve of Nebraska’s appearance in Chicago at Big Ten football media days, six more teams took the stage. We heard from title-contending coaches Ryan Day and Dan Lanning. But someone else won the day. Who was it? Also, Nebraska AD Troy Dannen sat down with Mitch to discuss various items of interest in college sports. The Huskers’ fight with the CSC is over. Nebraska won’t be wearing jersey patches this year. Dannen explained — and he offered thoughts on CFP expansion and non-conference scheduling. We finish with a preview of Matt Rhule’s time under the spotlight. He’s batting leadoff on Thursday. Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

HELP! Nebraska football and the Big Ten are looking to whom for guidance?
Big Ten media days are underway in Chicago. Bret Bielema won Day 1. Tony Petitti was the least annoying of all P4 conference commissioners in these July settings. The commish is very serious about looking to the United States Congress for help in writing new rules for college football? Can this actually improve the position of a program like Nebraska? It’s cold inside the Big Ten venue. Mitch forgot about his radio interview with Connor on Tuesday morning. Matt Campbell, Lincoln Riley and Kirk Ferentz had things to say. And jersey patches were a big story — because they’re attached to big bucks. Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

What to make of Nebraska’s creative football ticket-selling strategies?
On this opening day in Chicago at Big Ten media days, Nebraska is busy back home working to sell tickets. Last week, fans could purchase two seats to the Week 2 matchup against Bowling Green for $50. Now it’s four four $100 to get into Memorial Stadium for the season opener against Ohio. Clearly, Nebraska doesn’t want its 410-game sellout streak to end. Is it in real jeopardy? The Huskers were picked 11th in the preseason Big Ten poll of media conducted by Cleveland.com . About where you expected? Connor and Mitch weigh in. And we’re discussing the storylines to watch on Day 1 in Chicago as Penn State, Iowa, USC and others take the stage. Join us.

The countdown continues to the start of preseason camp for Nebraska football. A milestone arrives this week as every Big Ten takes its turn at the league’s media days in Chicago. The Huskers and coach Matt Rhule are up on Thursday. But we’re previewing their appearance today. What are the most pressing issues as Nebraska prepares to open camp next week? Rhule will surely talk about running backs. He’ll get asked about the multi-faceted role of a head coach — and coaching staffs — in college football today. And he’ll address the Nebraska schedule, backloaded as ever. Is this an opportunity for the Huskers, or a call for urgency in August? Let’s discuss. Join us on this Monday before things get real.

One part of Nebraska football that could look entirely different in 2026?
The Friday mailbag is back. Our inbox was overflowing this week. Football season is hear. We’re starting with discussions on the Nebraska special teams, without Mike Ekeler, and the malaise that might help — yes, help — the Huskers this fall. Is Troy Dannen getting enough credit for the successes of Nebraska athletics. We’re not sure it matters. Why? Tune in. Corn is growing outside of the football complex. What happened to the Huskers “It” factor? Should the CFP install a third-place game? And what percentage of its ranked opponents should Nebraska beat? We’ve got all that covered and more. Join us.

The massive opportunity for Nebraska football that awaits on one October Saturday
Here at the Locked On Nebraska podcast, our spin around the Big Ten continues. Mitch is talking on this Thursday with Jacob Goins of Locked On Hoosiers. Is Indiana set to take a step back after Curt Cignetti and Fernando Mendoza steamrolled to a national championship last season? What can we expect from the atmosphere on Oct, 10 when Indiana visits Memorial Stadium? The Hoosiers will likely bring a 5-0 record to Lincoln. Nebraska has a shot, too, to be 5-0. The hosts discuss where this game might land in the TV draft. We get intel from Jacob on the state of the Hoosiers, who have reloaded after losing top talent to the NFL. Former TCU QB Josh Hoover aims to pick up where Mendoza left off. And we gain some insight into the view of the Huskers from afar. Join us.

Anthony Colandrea’s spot nationally and in the Big Ten among quarterbacks
We’re talking tiers today. The Athletic released its annual list of all 138 FBS starting quarterbacks, slotting them into tiers and ranking every QB ahead of the 2026 season. Nebraska’s Anthony Colandrea sits not far from the place occupied by Dylan Raiola a year ago. Did the writers get this right? We assess the tiers and look back at last year. How did they fare in 2025? Also, SEC media days provided drama on Tuesday as one man with a job to do was ejected from the event in Tampa. College baseball is in the news. And we’re shouting out to some of our favorite podcasters with a montage of audio that hopefully can make them so, so proud. Join us on this Wednesday.

Is Nebraska football laying in wait for five-star tight end Ahmad Hudson?
Tis the season for the SEC to throw shade at the Big Ten. Missouri coach Eli Drinkwitz got things started on Monday, saying that Big Ten national champions of the past three years got to the top, in part, because they didn’t play anyone in the non-conference season. Does Drinkwitz make a good point? Nebraska continues to hang around in the bid to land five-star tight end Ahmad Hudson. Is Hudson the next Dylan Raiola? Tune in to hear what we mean. SEC commissioner Greg Sankey is threatening to break away from the rest of college football. Warde Manuel finally got the axe at Michigan. Is there a candidate nearby for the job in Ann Arbor? And will the Wolverines suck air out of the room next week when the Huskers take the stage in Chicago for Big Ten media days?

What if Scott Frost had never come back to Nebraska football?
In the final week before Big Ten media days and the unofficial start of the college football preseason around here, we’re exploring a few hypotheticals. Because it’s fun. And because you asked us to do it. So what if instead of hiring Scott Frost in 2017, Nebraska had hired Ryan Day? Or what if the Huskers had picked the best possible candidate? Who might that have been? Our second hypothetical: What if Tom Osborne had beaten Miami in the 1984 Orange Bowl? Would he have stayed at Nebraska through 1997?

Nebraska football mailbag: Has Troy Dannen gone too far?
In this Friday mailbag, we go first to Doug, who addresses several important points about Nebraska fans, its administration and the financial strains of college athletics today. What responsibility does AD Troy Dannen hold in serving the supporters of Nebraska sports? Is there a line, and has the university crossed it in selling tickets? We spend the first segment on this important issue. We’re compiling a list of visiting players who produced legendary performances at Memorial Stadium. Should the Huskers have taken a buddy with them to the Big Ten 15 years ago? And how hard is the Nebraska schedule in 2026, really? Join us for all the answers.

Ohio State’s Julian Sayin fuels early Heisman buzz—can Ryan Day’s revamped offense deliver another Big Ten title? Host Spencer McLaughlin puts Locked On’s Big Ten experts on the spot, challenging hot takes about the Ohio State Buckeyes’ quarterback play, Iowa Hawkeyes’ QB battle, and Washington Huskies’ locker room dynamics. Insightful banter erupts around which teams could break through daunting schedules and which dark horses might disappoint.

Debates spark over preseason predictions, potential program upsets at Kinnick Stadium, and the true impact of Big Noon Kickoff times. With fresh insights, candid predictions, and sharp humor, this episode arms college football fans with everything they need ahead of another wild Big Ten season.

Too many backs? No, it’s not possible that Nebraska’s RB group is overloaded
On the day after Nebraska football surprised us all by landing a new running back, ex-Penn Stater Tikey Hayes, a viewer of this podcast suggested that the Huskers have too many running backs on the team. Is that possible? We have the answer, and it relates to the experience possessed by Nebraska’s six players at the position. Running backs are often indispensable. But who on this 2026 Nebraska roster fits the category? We have a list. And we have an addition to the list. Also, we’re talking about Michigan. Is AD Warde Manuel on the way out? And do you want a drone delivering toilet paper to your house? It might happen. Join us. Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

One game on Nebraska’s 2026 football schedule that's not getting enough attention
A late development: Nebraska is reportedly adding to its group of running backs. We discuss a junior-college addition and what it means for the Huskers on offense as preseason camp approaches. The latest stop in our spin around the Huskers’ Big Ten schedule brings us to Maryland. We’re talking about the Terps in 2026, QB Mailk Washington and the importance of this Oct. 3 game at Memorial Stadium. Also, Mac Moyer is off to play professional baseball.

How five-star Nebraska QB commit Trae Taylor can make his mark before playing a down
Another set of recruiting rankings has labeled Nebraska commit Trae Taylor as a five-star quarterback. On3 and Rivals updated their lists on Monday. Taylor is the No. 2 QB nationally and the No. 17 overall prospect. He’s bringing his talents to the high school fields of Nebraska this fall — before he arrives officially at Nebraska in December. We’re talking more about Taylor and his impact. Also, we revisit Dylan Carey’s MLB Draft snub. Several items related to volleyball in the state of Nebraska are on our Tuesday agenda. And Matt Rhule spoke out recently about the Huskers’ switch from the morning to afternoon for practice in 2026. Yet again, his critics responded. Join us for a recap and analysis.

A 2026 Nebraska football version of the Huskers’ Sweet 16 basketball run?
Welcome to the quietest week on the sports calendar. Not this year, though, with the World Cup to be decided on American soil. Regardless, it’s quiet around Nebraska football as the Huskers progress through July toward Big Ten media days and training camp. This week, we’re stepping back to ask a few provocative questions about Nebraska football. How did all the basketball success really affect Matt Rhule’s program? What would a football version of the Sweet 16 in hoops look like for Nebraska this year? And what players could be the face of the program in 2026? Also, some puzzling results from the MLB Draft for Nebraska baseball. Join us. Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

What we’re overlooking this summer that will matter for Nebraska football in 2026
We’re back. It’s been a disjointed week here at the Locked On Nebraska podcast. But thanks for your patience. On this Friday, we’re answering your questions, as always, with a stuffed mailbag episode. To start, we rank in importance parts of this roster that could swing the Huskers from a six-win team (or worse) to an eight-win team (or better.). What’s under the radar this offseason, and what are we making more of than we should? Has Nebraska ever signed four top-100 recruits in the same class? Should college football find a non-traditional venue to showcase its sport like hockey does with the Winter Classic? Do fourth-year seniors from 2025-26 still have a shot to play this year? What will it take for Matt Rhule’s team to be feared? And is Nebraska alienating too many of its fans with stadium and arena re-seats? Join us.

BIG 10 SQUAD: Big 10 QB/WR CONTROVERSIAL Rankings | Where Nebraska ranks
On3’s latest quarterback and receiver rankings spark heated debate—can elite quarterback-receiver duos truly explain team success, or do inconsistencies between individual and duo rankings leave fans scratching their heads? The Locked On Big Ten Squad analyzes controversial placements: Why is Jayden Maiava ranked third among Big Ten quarterbacks, yet his top wideout drops to an honorable mention? Does the meteoric rise of Purdue’s Josh Hoover and Nick Marsh make sense, or is it pure off-season hype? Attention shifts to the Iowa Hawkeyes’ win total—set at 7.5 by FanDuel. Can Iowa’s new-look offense and a lean senior class maintain Kirk Ferentz’s historic winning consistency against heavyweights like Michigan, Ohio State, and Washington? Predictions fly, rivalries flare, and bold calls are made. Is an eight-win season realistic, or are the Hawkeyes set for a step back in a loaded Big Ten? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Grades for the new Big Ten football coaching lineup. And what they mean for Nebraska
We’re back from the holiday weekend. On this Monday, we’ve got a bonus mailbag, with questions left over from earlier in the summer. We’re ranking the Big Ten football coaching hires from the last cycle. Who’s most likely to win big in 2026? What’s the biggest impact of 5 for 5 for Matt Rhule and Nebraska football? Why all the crying and moaning about the running back position? Did the rugby punting of Archie Wilson matter for the Huskers in 2025? Was Bo Pelini’s program better at the end for him than Rhule’s current version? One coach, more than the others over the past 25 years, has recruited more future NFL talent to Nebraska. Which one? And should Nebraska look to the west for another protected rival? Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

BIG 10 SQUAD: Ranking the BEST Head Coaches in the Big 10 | Where Matt Rhule sits
Big Ten coaching rankings ignite debate as Curt Cignetti’s meteoric rise at Indiana challenges Ryan Day’s Ohio State dominance. Can Cignetti’s underdog playbook outshine traditional powerhouses if given equal resources? The discussion also spotlights Kyle Whittingham’s consistency, questions Dan Lanning’s performance in pressure games, and evaluates where Jedd Fisch and the Washington Huskies truly fit in the new Big Ten landscape. Washington’s daunting 2026 schedule faces scrutiny—can the Huskies surpass expectations with key matchups against USC, Oregon, Penn State, and Iowa? The conversation breaks down Washington’s roster strengths and weaknesses, Jedd Fisch’s offensive strategy, and what it will take for the Huskies to clear FanDuel’s 7.5 win total projection. Which Big Ten coach would you want leading your team through a gauntlet, and how will conference newcomers shake up the hierarchy? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

We’re here on the brink of July to look back at decisions made by Nebraska coaches and the football front office to stay out of the transfer portal at running back for the second consecutive year. Why did they do it? The status of Mekhi Nelson, arrested this week in Florida, is unknown. But the Huskers knew long ago about their lack of depth and experience at the spot. To whom might they look for help? Also, is Wisconsin about to make another mistake? Did the Badgers hit a home run in teaming with Culver’s? And if Nebraska did something similar, the match is an easy one to make. We finish with news on the Nebraska Football Hall of Fame – and sons of baseball players who golf. Join us.

Trouble for Nebraska football at a spot where it cannot afford to take a hit?
We’re here later than usual to start this midsummer week with reaction to the news that Nebraska running back Mekhi Nelson was arrested in Florida. The Huskers are already thin and inexperienced at his position on the field — and now face an uncertain situation to enter the final month before training camp opens. EA Sports ranked the Huskers’ talent for the company’s latest video game masterpiece. Who’s underrated? Who’s overrated? What do the rankings tell us about Nebraska? Trae Taylor is now the official MVP of the Elite 11. And Nebraska basketball took a turn under the spotlight on Monday. We react to Fred Hoiberg’s assessment of his 2026-27 squad. New leaders are emerging. Join us for a full episode. Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

Did disappearing rivalries contribute to the downfall of Nebraska football?
We’ve got a packed mailbag on this final Friday of June. Thanks to our loyal listeners and viewers for bringing us the questions. In this episode, we talk more about the new Nebraska uniforms. What is Adidas getting out of this deal? Might the lack of traditional rivalries be contributing to Nebraska’s struggles as a program? If other teams got to pick their perfect conferences, who would take Nebraska as a rival? Will TJ Lateef stick around for another year if he’s not the starting quarterback? Why isn’t Tommie Frazier more revered by college football fans? How will Rob Aurich’s defense use the linebackers? We pick sporting events to attend if we were time travelers. And finally, another tribute to George Darlington. Join us. Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

BIG 10 SQUAD: NCAA Passes NEW Eligibility Rules | How they impact Nebraska
Big Ten shakes up college football with the new “5 and 5” eligibility rule, setting the stage for a new era—no more endless waivers or awkward redshirt seasons. The Big 10 Squad debates whether this reform can finally bring order to the chaos. Will this bold move eliminate confusion and eight-year seniors, or just spawn fresh controversy? Illinois Fighting Illini’s win total sparks heated predictions as FanDuel sets the mark at 7.5—can Bret Bielema push the Illini from good to great? The crew breaks down Illinois’ manageable 2026 schedule, rivalry games, and the impact of losing key players like Luke Altmyer. The hosts draw parallels between roster management and middle school dances, while the hosts dissect what the path to eight wins might require. Can Illinois surprise the Big Ten, or will old hurdles remain? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

We’re putting a bow on the month of June for Nebraska football. And with it, the offseason is nearly complete. Only vacations in July, Big Ten media days and prep work for training camp remain on the summer schedule. Speaking of media days, the list of players set to attend has been released. Who’s venturing to Chicago for the Huskers? How are we grading the offseason in Lincoln? Did the June happenings change our view? Michigan basketball was in the news this week. How does the departure of Dusty May impact the Big Ten and Nebraska hoops? Nebraska baseball has an opening tournament in Arizona for next season.

Five-for-five: How it can reshape the QB picture ahead for Nebraska football
The five-for-five rule is here, and Nebraska football is ready for it. How might the Huskers feel about another year of eligibility for all of their players who’ve not redshirted? That group includes Anthony Colandrea, the QB1 who came to Lincoln last winter expecting to play one season. Now he’s got two. How might the change impact Trae Taylor, the Nebraska five-star commit in the 2027 class? We’re looking, too, at other Nebraska football players who’ve got two years instead of one left in the program. And the impact of five-for-five could be felt even more strongly in women’s sports such as Nebraska’s nationally prominent volleyball program. The CWS is over. We look back. Do you want to golf at Memorial Stadium? It can happen. And Nebraska basketball is dealing with the first preseason injury to a member of its 2026-27 team. Join us.

How – and why – Nebraska football convinced us that a jersey reveal was big news
In case you missed it over the weekend, Nebraska football is set to wear new jerseys in 2026. The athletic department made a big deal in the lead up to this announcement and in the immediate aftermath of it. But why? Did they simply want to maximize a money-making opportunity? Was it really about tradition? Did Nebraska get tired of its boring offseason? We have some thoughts and theories. Trae Taylor was in the news, too, before his official visit to Lincoln. His Millard South took home a piece of 7-on-7 hardware on Friday. Taylor talked a little on the way to winning the trophy. The Iowa football public noticed. This is how things work between the Huskers and Hawkeyes. Also, we review the final weekend of recruiting visitors at Nebraska. What can the Huskers expect over the days ahead as a dead period arrives? Join us. Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

BIG 10 SQUAD: The Top Big 10 Moments of the past decade | Where Nebraska stacks up
Big Ten powers gear up for a season of high stakes and sky-high expectations. Oregon’s fans are asking: Is this finally the year Dan Lanning leads the Ducks to a national championship? Ohio State faces questions about the Arthur Smith-led offense and Ryan Day’s fourth-quarter strategy, while USC and Washington both eye playoff runs amidst roster shakeups and the spotlight on Demond Williams’ development. The Big 10 Squad breaks down the top moments from the past decade, celebrate the network’s 10-year anniversary, and debate the biggest 2026 storylines for each program. From Chip Kelly’s bold play-calling and Jack Sawyer’s breakout performances for the Buckeyes to Washington’s Pac-12 dominance and USC’s championship-or-bust mentality, this conversation tackles coaching philosophies, high-impact transfers, and the relentless drive for a Big Ten crown.

What if… Kirk Ferentz had followed Tom Osborne at Nebraska 30 years ago?!?
We’re getting funky on this Friday in the Nebraska mailbag. A late-arriving email asked this question: What if Nebraska had hired Kirk Ferentz in the late ‘90s? Isn’t he everything in a coach that the Huskers valued in a post-Tom Osborne world? Well, yes. And no. We explain. Has Nebraska high school football ever seen the hype that Trae Taylor is set to deliver this spring? Does the Nebraska offense have a “go to?” Now that Brendan Sorsby is gone from Texas Tech, will Nebraska still refuse to schedule the Red Raiders? We’ve got more talk about the Nebraska basketball re-seat and the 2025 College Basketball Crown, of all things. And we offer some final bits of speculation on the announcement coming Saturday at Memorial Stadium. Join us. Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

Is Nebraska football on track to sign its best group of DB recruits ever?
The 19th and latest commitment for Nebraska football in the 2027 recruiting class gives the Huskers four in the defensive backfield. All are four-star prospects, a first for Nebraska in one class. We take a historical look at the best groups in the secondary ever to sign with Nebraska – and compare those classes to the work that Addison Williams and the Huskers’ recruiting staff are doing this year. Also, you can see Trae Taylor in a 7-on-7 tournament this week before his official visit to Lincoln. Nebraska basketball is planning a dreaded re-seat of Pinnacle Bank Arena after the 2026-27 season. Nebraska volleyball, as usual, scored very big at the start of recruiting season. And we look at the CWS finals. What does it mean for Nebraska baseball and comparable programs that Oklahoma rolled to the championship series after starting the NCAA postseason as an afterthought? Join us.

It’s Bananas! Nebraska football stays on a recruiting hot streak. What’s left in June?
What day is it? We’re back to start another week, weary but full of excitement after the opening weekend of the College World Series and all kinds of excitement in the sporting world, nationally and locally. Nebraska football picked up two more commitments, including a flip. There was a flavor of barbeque with the latest additions. Another big weekend of visits on campus awaits. What can Matt Rhule and the Huskers still accomplish in June? We are remembering George Darlington, the 30-year Nebraska football assistant who passed away on Sunday. Darlington was one of a kind, in his coaching style and with his connection to the Huskers – even long after his 2002 retirement. Finally, we review the weekend of Savannah Bananas baseball at Memorial Stadium, CWS traffic patterns and food possibilities. Join us.

Nebraska football mailbag: If starting from scratch, what’s the perfect conference?
We’re here on this glorious College World Series Friday to answer your questions in a mailbag episode. We start with deep thoughts about the proliferation of gambling and its impact on sports as college football grapples with the Brendan Sorsby issue at Texas Tech. Are we part of the problem? What if you could pick the teams for Nebraska’s new, make-believe conference? If the Huskers are doing everything right in NIL, how do things look when a program does it wrong? Could Nebraska have altered the course of its recent football history just by winning a few of the one-score games that it lost over the past decade against ranked opponents? Lots to ponder today.

BIG 10 SQUAD: The Big 10 is BOYCOTTING Texas Tech | How this affects Nebraska
Big Ten powers rally against Texas Tech over Brendan Sorsby’s controversial eligibility fight. As the Red Raiders attempt to play Sorsby despite NCAA regulations, Big Ten schools refuse all non-conference competition, igniting a heated debate about integrity, NIL chaos, and the role of judges in college football. Is this a Texas Tech scandal, an NCAA crisis, or a sign the sport is spinning out of control? The Locked On Big Ten Squad breaks down why Sorsby’s 9,000 betting violations set off a conference-wide backlash, if conferences—not the NCAA—hold the real power, and how coaches like Joey McGuire are stoking national outrage. Can streamlining rules, stricter enforcement, or a new governing body save the sport? Plus, get bold predictions as FanDuel sets Minnesota’s win total at 6.5—will the Golden Gophers beat expectations this season? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

He’s No. 1! Trae Taylor’s impact for Nebraska football as a five-star QB
Big movement on Wednesday in recruiting rankings. Nebraska commitment Trae Taylor jumped to the No. 1 spot among quarterbacks on the 247 Sports list. That’s a big deal. He’s a big deal. The Chicago-area transplant, gearing up for his senior season at Millard South in Omaha, now possesses an even greater opportunity to affect the Huskers’ recruiting class for 2027. We discuss Taylor’s jump and look more deeply at his class of recruits. What do the Huskers still need? Where have they scored? And who’s coming into town on this second weekend of June? Also, Matt Rhule is promising that Nebraska will announce something “really special” at its Boneyard Bash on June 20. What could it be? Join us as we recklessly speculate.

Nebraska football: Matt Rhule’s 90-degree turn that you didn’t see coming
The shift underway at Nebraska in this offseason is perhaps more dramatic than it at first appeared. In addition to swapping out two coordinators and a quarterback whose styles lend to altered systems, Matt Rhule’s messaging is different in 2026. His coaching staff has a new vibe. The first weekend in June left no doubt that Rhule is building the Nebraska roster in a new way — doubling down in areas that Geep Wade and Addison Williams find fruitful. We step back and look at the big picture while considering the stakes in 2026 for the fourth-year coach and his team. Nebraska basketball is scheduling more aggressively as Fred Hoiberg adds a nonconference game in Chicago. And the Nebraska baseball offseason roster shuffle has begun.

Recruiting wins for Nebraska and a big loss for all of college football
After an unscheduled bye, we’re back on this Tuesday to review the first big recruiting push of summer for Nebraska football. Five commits? That’ll do. But what about Ahmad Hudson, the five-star tight end out of Louisiana who committed in the spring to LSU? It seems that he’s back in play for Nebraska. Either that or he’s playing the Huskers. Regardless, Nebraska will take the publicity and work to run with it. Elsewhere, Brendan Sorsby and Texas Tech are doing their best to ruin college sports. Nebraska has vowed not to compete against the Red Raiders in any sport after a judge in Lubbock handed the QB an injunction that makes him eligible in 2026 despite his sports gambling issues. This story has all kinds of relevance for Nebraska. We finish with a little talk about the College World Series, set to begin Friday in our backyard. Join us.

Do we have to go back? How an old formula might help Nebraska in an expanded CFP
The Friday mailbag is here. We start this show with an idea from a listener about the proposed expansion of the College Football Playoff. Why not go back to the old BCS ways of picking participants? It’s not an entirely bad concept, say hosts Connor and Mitch. Was Matt Rhule pulling the strings as his touted QB recruit picked a high school in Nebraska? Do reporters in college sports live in fear that their access will be revoked if they cross a line? Who among the 2025 CFP participants on Nebraska’s schedule next season are the Huskers most likely to beat? Does Jordy Frahm rate as the greatest ever? And are we giving Will Bolt a pass for Nebraska’s regional slips? Join us for a full episode. Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

BIG 10 SQUAD: Congress is trying to SAVE College Football | How this impacts Nebraska
The Big Ten and SEC unite to push back against Congress’s sweeping plan to overhaul college football, setting up a powerful standoff that could reshape the sport’s future. With player compensation, playoff formats, and media rights on the line, can any legislation succeed without college football’s biggest powerhouses on board? The Big 10 Squad dissects the motives behind congressional intervention in NCAA sports, conference politics, and the relentless pursuit of media power. The crew shifts focus to Wisconsin Badgers football, debating whether Luke Fickell’s squad can clear a six-and-a-half win total and what’s at stake for his job security. Insights on quarterback Colton Joseph, a soft Big Ten schedule, and the looming challenges from Notre Dame and Penn State add fuel to the debate. Is this the season Wisconsin bounces back, or are bigger shakeups ahead for the Badgers? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Nebraska basketball and the battle to get a high major program to play at PBA
It’s June, and we’re checking in with Nebraska basketball after Fred Hoiberg, the leader of Husker hoops, met with the media on Tuesday in Lincoln. Coming off the first Sweet 16 appearance in program history, Nebraska will begin offseason workouts next week. Six transfers are set to make their practice debuts and mix with returnees Pryce Sandfort, Braden Frager, Cale Jacobsen and others. As Hoiberg said, “love is in the air” around Nebraska basketball. We explain. Sam Hoiberg is branching out internationally. Fred is white-knuckling the NBA playoffs. And the Huskers made a full-length movie about their most recent season. Also, we’re talking college baseball super regionals. Who among the 16 team still playing is most likely to score big in the Jell-O Shot Challenge? Join us.

Can middling football at Nebraska continue to drive the bus for widespread success?
We’re looking back on this Tuesday at the past year in Nebraska sports — and the role of the football program in setting the tone for everything. Can the Huskers consider the past year, department wide, as a resounding success with mediocre results in football? Football is undeniably far more important than everything else to the bottom line. But does it matter equally in assessing performance across the board? Also, we revisit Trae Taylor’s magnificent showing last weekend at the Elite 11 finals. And we peer ahead at the next four weeks for Matt Rhule’s program. Is there an opportunity in June to reverse some of the malaise that has followed the Huskers through this offseason?

Nebraska QB commit Trae Taylor won MVP honors at the Elite 11 finals on Sunday. On Monday, he touches down in Nebraska to start his journey as the next quarterback at Millard South High School in Omaha ahead of his college career. Taylor is living in Lincoln in order to be close to the Huskers, but nothing will stop eager suitors from pursuing him with even more intensity after Taylor’s performance over the weekend in Los Angeles. He’ll likely soon be a five-star recruit. What does it all mean for Nebraska and Matt Rhule? Also, the season is over for Nebraska baseball and softball.

Nebraska football mailbag: Are the Huskers playing with fire at QB?
It’s a Friday mailbag. We’re diving back into the NIL discussion. Is there a disconnect at Nebraska between the money coming in and the money going out to athletes? How is football GM Pat Stewart faring at his job, by his own criteria, after one year in Lincoln? Should we be sounding the alarm about the floor for Anthony Colandrea and the Huskers’ QB play in 2026? Might the daunting schedule in the fall light a fire under Matt Rhule’s team? Should it? Baseball and softball are both on the big stage this weekend. If those teams continue to win, where could 2025-26 rank for Nebraska athletics in comparison to its best years? And finally, is Will Bolt doing the right thing by going to his ace, Carson Jasa, on the mound to open the Lincoln baseball regional? Join us.

BIG 10 SQUAD: Big 10 & SEC MEGA CONFERENCE Coming Soon... What this means for Nebraska
Big Ten football faces a seismic shift as talk of a 70-school “Super Mega Conference” heats up. Could college athletics see relegation like the Premier League, or will tradition—with teams like Ohio State, Michigan, and UCLA—hold firm amidst swirling changes? The panel breaks down the latest bipartisan Congressional proposal that targets NIL regulation, transfer portal chaos, and the Lane Kiffin rule for mid-season coaching exits—all set to upend the college sports landscape. The Big 10 Squad leads a spirited debate featuring bold super conference visions, calls for NIL salary caps, and challenges to schools: “stop being poor” and keep pace in the new era. With player eligibility rulings, coaching drama, and powerhouse programs fighting for influence, this episode asks: Is college football’s future endangered or finally moving toward true competitive balance? Don’t miss exclusive insights on where the Big Ten stands as the sport barrels toward radical transformation. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
