Steven M. Sipple: NU may be set to enter rarefied salary range in premier men's programs

It appears the second-year Nebraska athletic director is on the cusp of a breakthrough hire for the Husker men's basketball program.

It appears Nebraska fans soon will be able to do more than dream of a day when Husker hoops is a legitimate national story -- not just a nice NIT story. I mean, look at three of the fourth-seeded teams in this year's NCAA Tournament bracket: Virginia Tech, Florida State and Kansas State. Heck, look at the No. 3 seeds -- LSU, Texas Tech, Purdue and Houston.

It doesn't have to be a pipe dream, amigos, particularly if Moos reels in Fred Hoiberg as Nebraska's next head coach.
