They were planning on tearing down a lot (if not all) of the existing stadium and replacing it was a newer structure. I believe they were planning to start right after the 2023 season, but I’m not sure where NW would play for 2024 (assuming it would be done for 2025). But, all of those plans seem to be put on hold for now.
Not sure why you are quoting me with this post, since I was commenting on a question about the NW stadium project and Barnett has 1 sentence in this interview about the potential stadium project.
I like that he felt compelled to mention Nebraska in his little whinefest. Still living rent free in his head.
Yeah, this is complete BS from Barnett's comments. Coaches are such control freaks about everything. They know everything that is happening in their program. If they don't, then they aren't doing their job.
Yes, Barnett is a raging a$$h@!e, he's still pissed about Nebraska jumping CU in the BCS rankings to get the Rose Bowl. Screw you and screw CU, Barnett.
The big problem with players leaving now/before the season is finding a school which has open scholarships to give and need at that position.
I understand what you mean by trying to find a school so close to fall practice but a school will open a spot for a kid that they deem a necessary take like the 4 star kid. Look at us we as fans question how many kids they are going to sign this recruiting class bc we didn't expect it to be close to 30. Yes they are sitting at 24 but it seems that Nebraska isn't done trying to recruit kids even after if we gain the commitment of Grant Brix. Teams will make room for kids to help their team.
Well…there’s a big difference in bringing in a kid a month before practice starts and “making room for him” and ……signing more kids than the fans thought in a class that they don’t need to make room for till a year from now.
That's fair. But you don't honestly feel that if a team wants a kid they won't have a spot for him bc I do? Yes the timing sucks but most programs have a couple open scholarships just in case something happens. Nigel Glover will find a FBS school that will want his services. Im not saying that's the case for every player that decides to leave Northwestern but certain ones that schools feel can help their program.
There is a big difference between a few players leaving now, with just a few weeks before the season starts, and a mass exodus of players. Yes, a handful of players may be able to leave now and find a landing spot, but most players will sit tight, see how the season goes, and then figure out a plan from there. That’s basically what @BigRedBuster and I are saying.
