The CFB world hasn’t admitted that elite recruiting at Nebraska just isn’t possible anymore. In some respects, this makes Rhule the right guy for that program as his success has never been predicated on elite recruiting.
The only problem is the competition level Rhule is dealing with at Nebraska as opposed to Baylor and Temple. They are always going to struggle with Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin, let alone tOSU, Michigan, PSU, MSU, and now USC, UW and Oregon.
Watching their game last night, I was wondering how their fan base, and probably AD, might ultimately desire the Big 12 over the B1G. Their program isn’t going to lack money and resources regardless of conference affiliation, and I wonder if they will look at the new Big 12 and think they would rather be successful than more rich (I realize a program will never voluntarily leave the B1G).
