Introducing the Nebraska FanCave: Make offers contingent on recruits enrolling at Nebraska

tl;dr — **We built the first way for Husker fans to pledge to specific recruits**, and get refunded if they don’t commit. It’s called the Nebraska FanCave

My friend and I are UNL alums and software engineers, and after Friday’s Tenn v. NCAA outcome we saw a huge opportunity for Nebraska to—now compliantly—get a **huge competitive edge**. So we built it. We’re spreading the word first here on r/huskers (public announcement soon).

The Nebraska FanCave is the first, online, *public* collective—that lets you pledge to specific recruits and get re-credited if they don’t commit. **This means us fans can now directly offer the recruits we want.**

* Recruits have a profile—here are a few 4-Stars who have Nebraska visits soon (that we need to win over!):
* Chase Loftin, 4-Star TE (NE): [https://www.fancave.me/chase-loftin/recruit](https://www.fancave.me/chase-loftin/recruit)
* TJ Loftin, 4-Star QB (CA): [https://fancave.me/TJ-Lateef/recruit](https://fancave.me/TJ-Lateef/recruit)
* Douglas Utu, 4-Star OT (NV): [https://www.fancave.me/douglas-utu/recruit](https://www.fancave.me/douglas-utu/recruit)
* Fans pledge to the recruit with purchased FanCave points, and rally to be the top supporting fanbase
* If the recruit signs an LOI at UNL, they earn our total pledge amount. Otherwise, all of us will be 100% refunded

We think the new rules should benefit the athletes and the fans—not just big-pocketed donors and unorganized collectives. We’re earning trust by:

* Already partnered with 15+ current Husker student athletes across 5 sports
* 10+ 4-star and 5-star recruits across 7 states verified
* Over $1,000 have been raised and sent directly to athletes, compliantly + securely
* Backed by [Y Combinator](https://www.ycombinator.com/) to build this in a safe and sustainable way

Would love your feedback. Let’s go get these 2025 guys!
