So what exactly happened this week in the Nebraska weight room?
If you unplugged briefly on Wednesday afternoon, you likely missed it. And by nightfall, the Cornhuskers’ first potential controversy of 2016 was seemingly extinguished. After the removal from a display screen of weight-lifting and performance-testing records set in the past decade, followed by the complaints of former receiver Kenny Bell, Nebraska announced that it would restore the marks in the name of recognizing all past players.
Good idea.
Case closed. But the episode served as a reminder of the combustible nature of the football environment in Lincoln.
