The Big Ten is forever changed — for better or for worse is up for debate. The bigger question: Does Nebraska get its Hollywood ending in 2024?
A full-ride scholarship doesn’t have the same ring to it now that student-athletes can profit off their name, image and likeness. Nebraska is finding its footing in the new era.
Starting with a home game against UTEP and ending under the Black Friday lights, how will the Huskers fare in the limelight through their 2024 regular season?
