What Indiana’s national championship means for Nebraska – in football and basketball?

from Locked On Nebraska - Daily Podcast on the Nebraska Cornhuskers · host Locked On Podcast Network

This week delivered another national championship in football to the Big Ten. But as the Indiana Hoosiers raised the CFP trophy Monday night, a new message resonated. This was not the same as last year or the year before, when blue bloods Michigan and Ohio State won the crowns. College sports has been forever changed by a new set of guidelines. What once took 20 years to accomplish can be done in two. What’s the takeaway for Nebraska? There are lessons to be learned from Curt Cignetti’s rise with IU. Lessons for Nebraska football, which is trying to escape the muck that it created, and lessons for Nebraska basketball. In fact, we see some of Indiana football in Fred Hoiberg’s Huskers during this dream season.Also, Mike Ekeler is leaving Nebraska for USC. It’s all but official now. Why?
