I recently sparked a firestorm with a tweet questioning whether Nebraska fans truly support the men’s basketball team. The backlash was immediate and intense, but it revealed some important truths about the future of college sports.
Serious question on a Friday - how many of you really care about this?
I realize Nebraska wants to compete in every sport, but is that reality in the current landscape?
Why would we bother pumping money into this sport when we have so many others that are more successful? pic.twitter.com/V9ahWQuhK1— Corn Nation (@CornNation) March 21, 2025What I discovered is that most fans equate “support” with buying tickets and attending games.
