    Nebraska Gets One More Scholy Than Everyone Else

    Nebraska has petitioned for and received a 14th scholarship for men's basketball. They are the only school, to my knowledge, to receive such an exception. This is quite the advantage. I don't know how true the statement was, but Coach Stadler at NU says "they lost count"...of how many scholys they were giving out.

    Prior to the Waiver approval: http://www.omaha.com/article/2009082...TS01/708249833
    Today: http://www.huskers.com/ViewArticle.d...CLID=204785554

    Hat tip to BradleyFans.Com for their info on this happening.
    The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

    Maybe this advantage will help them work towards making their FIRST ncaa appearance. Thats right, Neb has never made the NCAA's.

      I'm pretty sure they made it when Piorkowski was there.

      They've made 6 NCAA's, but have yet to win a game.

        You are probably right, I was just too lazy to look it up. But still, thats terrible. They are in the big 12 and can't win ONE tourny game.

        I think that Northwestern might be in the same boat.

          A Letter From Northwestern to The NCAA Tournament Selection Committee
          http://bleacherreport.com/articles/134762-dear-ncaa-tournament-committee
          Hello, We're the Northwestern University basketball program. You may not have heard of us, which is understandable. You see, we're the only major conference program that has never qualified for the NCAA Tournament...

            I don't think UNI should be less scholarships than Nebraska because we are better than them anyways and besides it's a different conference!

                The 'N' stands for 'knowledge'.

                  That's 'nowledge' in Nebraska...
                  If computers ruled college basketball the way they do football, we'd have skipped all this March Madness monotony and just waited a month for the Kansas-Kentucky title game. And watched Northern Iowa play Cornell in the Poulan Weedeater Bowl. ~ Dwight Perry The Seattle Times
