You have to love the writers always talk about the loopholes and advantages nubb used to have over most of the Big 8/college football and then mourn them.
Like Prop 48, over-recruiting (I think), taking advantage of being a marquee name when visibility was hard to come by for other teams in the plains/Midwest footprint; even weight training and facilities.
It’s like, “Well if big red could just use their big name to stockpile all the recruits, get guys in that cant go other places, have our guys lift weights when no one else does, then pump our guys full of steroids when other teams start lifting — and turn a blind eye when our dudes roid rage on people then we’d be back in no time.”
