I don't think Shadow is missing that Nebraska has had football success, and I can't speak to their academics.
But you're right about Nebraska being bleak, their coach in a weird place and weather in Jan being nasty. I'd add that it appears Nebraska's best football years appear to be pretty far in the rearview mirror.
Hope he liked his visit here enough to come here, work hard & get this OL better. The gap between their academics and ours is bigger than the one between the two football programs. what's your basis? Not saying you're wrong, but I'm curious where you get that.
As a side note, does anyone think that academic strength is much of a factor for a JUCO transfer?
Well, they were AAU for about 100 years and only recently lost it on a technicality over their medical school counting as a separate university. But if you want to use something simple, we're #170 in the most recent rankings and they're #101.
Out of literally thousands of schools...69 places is not a big difference. USF has a much lower acceptance rate, similar scores and gpa. I don't see a big gap. USF keeps rising in the rankings. USF may eventually pass Nebraska.
