## Resource

We’re here on this glorious College World Series Friday to answer your questions in a mailbag episode. We start with deep thoughts about the proliferation of gambling and its impact on sports as college football grapples with the Brendan Sorsby issue at Texas Tech. Are we part of the problem? What if you could pick the teams for Nebraska’s new, make-believe conference? If the Huskers are doing everything right in NIL, how do things look when a program does it wrong? Could Nebraska have altered the course of its recent football history just by winning a few of the one-score games that it lost over the past decade against ranked opponents? Lots to ponder today. Join us.
