You lost me on Sipple. He's the biggest blow-hard, regardless who the coach is at Nebraska. This is the same guy who defended Callahan, up to the last minute & openly admits he will support whoever is the head coach of Nebraska. Sipp doesn't belong in the same sentence as Benning.
so, listening to Sharp and Benning in the morning

I agree. But like politicians, they also have some power. But most of this concept was pushed onto the regents by some major boosters at such meeting. At least as far as what I heard.

Then what is the real issue? I would really like to know.I don't doubt that the big SEC schools are doing everything possible to bend/break the rules. In fact, I'd be quite surprised if they weren't behaving badly.
That said . . . this excuse making is sad. Take off the blinders people.
I am not making excuses. Bo is not the greatest coach in the country. Saben most likely is. He takes every advantage he can get. I do not want Nebraska to cheat, but if Bama can employ 20 to 60 people to make recruiting easier, we should be able to and do it without question. Bo needs all the help he can get At this point in time, so does the program. Begging to get two extra employees really seems like we are missing the boat.
I will remind you again, No MNC has won the that title with out top 5 classes in the proceeding 5 years in the last ten years or longer.

What's the issue? Whether Bo is capable of sufficient improvement to remain the head coach of the Nebraska Cornhuskers.

Back that up if you want to claim it.
I'm not sure if any amount of administrative resources could deliver top 5 classes with Bo Pelini as the head coach.

So, if we assume that each of those people are devoted to making recruiting easier we're at 20. Where does the 60 number come in? And how does this compare to Nebraska? I know that we don't have a flight crew . . . but what about the others?

i have not been following this too closely, but i think junior made this point. alabama has nothing to do with this conversation. what matters is if we are doing everything we can to at least win the big 10, then we can worry about alabama.
are we? does mich., wiscy, osu, msu, psu provide their coaches with more tools to succeed?

Yes, it came from Finebaum, and not in a positive tone. Actually they were discussing the numbers that had been cut due to notification by NCAA, but according to the local paper's editor, had worked around most of the cuts. The analyst side was stated to be much larger.
I am not knocking Bo or Nebraska, what I am saying is that if it is legal for Bama to do something that helps them, then it should be across the board. As far as Michigan or Wisconsin, I could care less. Bo is hamstrung by location, possibly the lack of private planes, but he should not be, nor should Nebraska be limited to less in the recruiting division.
Will we have top 5 classes, doubtful who ever is coaching. But we should be on a level playing field with any program in the nation as far as manpower. We are not.
I hear stories of Bo and other coaches attending high school games. Saben state that the only high school game he attended was for Jamis, once. That means someone else is doing the job that Bo has to. Giving him less time to do other things. I do not think Bo is saying I do not need anymore help, but I do believe the Athletic Department is short stepping on this side of the house. This program is what pays the bills, it needs every opportunity to succeed, and so does Bo, or who ever is the head coach. We were once cutting edge in college football, maybe not so much anymore.
Not a Bo fan, but he is our head coach this year. I want him to have every opportunity to win period. Nothing in the world would make me happier.
There was an article about Garrison saying his flying time to ascertain whether a recruit was what they wanted/ or wanted by took up many hours. According to the Finebaum program, that type of stuff is handled by the under staff, and when the time to close the deal comes that coach is sent. Pre screening, time saving because the have extra manpower to do the job.
