OMAHA -- Every Nebraska student-athlete has a new standing offer – free LASIK.
Dr. Lance Kugler never would have thought a year ago that such an idea could become reality. The refractive surgeon whose Omaha-based practice provides the visual corrective procedure has been a sponsor of the NU athletic department. Often, though, he found it difficult to physically help or even assess the Huskers because of strict NCAA regulations.
The exploding realm of name, image and likeness is changing all that. Kugler – a lifelong Nebraska fan – doesn’t have the funds or the desire to donate money to an NIL collective.
