## Resource

Welcome to the quietest week on the sports calendar. Not this year, though, with the World Cup to be decided on American soil. Regardless, it’s quiet around Nebraska football as the Huskers progress through July toward Big Ten media days and training camp. This week, we’re stepping back to ask a few provocative questions about Nebraska football. How did all the basketball success really affect Matt Rhule’s program? What would a football version of the Sweet 16 in hoops look like for Nebraska this year? And what players could be the face of the program in 2026? Also, some puzzling results from the MLB Draft for Nebraska baseball. Join us.
