## Resource

It’s a Friday mailbag. We’re diving back into the NIL discussion. Is there a disconnect at Nebraska between the money coming in and the money going out to athletes? How is football GM Pat Stewart faring at his job, by his own criteria, after one year in Lincoln? Should we be sounding the alarm about the floor for Anthony Colandrea and the Huskers’ QB play in 2026? Might the daunting schedule in the fall light a fire under Matt Rhule’s team? Should it? Baseball and softball are both on the big stage this weekend. If those teams continue to win, where could 2025-26 rank for Nebraska athletics in comparison to its best years? And finally, is Will Bolt doing the right thing by going to his ace, Carson Jasa, on the mound to open the Lincoln baseball regional? Join us.
