Rhule ran out of cash.

So an unnamed journalist may have said something but we’re not sure. That, my friend, seems like textbook definition of what a rumor is.

Rhule has insinuated we didn’t have financial resources to land a RB last year, but I don’t think there’s ever been any concrete evidence that we ‘ran out of cash’.

if you don't have money or that you get out bid that is generally because you don't have the money.

Oh, I added to my post because I couldn't find the reporter that said it, but AI was able to find what Rhule said about the situation, which 100% gives credence to the notion we don't have the money.
 
Damn that AI, it was supposed to get it wrong

Money is Still Stopping Nebraska from Adding Transfer Running Backs

Nebraska football still doesn't have enough money. This has been an issue for the Huskers in the NIL era, and it continues into the revenue-sharing era as well.

Matt Rhule couldn't add a running back last year because others "paid more money." It appears that this cycle has the same issue as Rhule looks to balance a roster that had plenty of needs after 2025.

"Some people paid more money than I had," Rhule said. "That’s the reality of it."

All I saw was a post in the rumor forum with no citation to anything.

But if a reporter said it, then by all means needs to moved to the regular board as confirmed fact. :Lol:

how about Matt Rhule saying it himself? Does that work better? Let me guess, you don't believe that either, or he was only trying to.. :Lol:

The AI quotes about CharMar Brown are from before Rhule's extension and increased budget. We still don't know the details of that, and my personal belief is that people have put too much emphasis on his comment "we have enough to go get whoever we want".

I read that as, "If we'd had this much last year, we'd have closed on Brown." But they still have a team budget (every team does). This particular season, my sense is that RB for Nebraska was not viewed as a high need position. We'll see, but I think they like their room there. Its a little puzzling why we didn't see more from back-ups if that was the case, but it was hard to argue with EJ's production.

We are at the point where we need the best talent evaluation and general manager to make a big move in the conference. I wonder how excited people where for Indiana's portal class last year. We need the RIGHT guys, at the right positions. I'm pretty excited to see what a new OL coach looks like, and the new DC.

Yes, I know where the quote came from. To the bold.. you just agreed with what was said, you just spun it to fit your narrative, but in the end it still means the same thing. We didn't have enough money to get that RB.. if we had this much money... well, we didn't have that much money, so we lost out.

Matt also said this..

"we don’t have the money everyone else has",

I am sure he meant something else, right? Doesn't matter that he did openly say we need more money, but that can't mean what it sounds like, right?

You definitely need to find a hobby during the off season if this is the rant that you want to keep posting about.

Wait, maybe the rest of us need to find a hobby to avoid said rant.

My rant? Did you not respond to me first? Yes, I think you did. Then you mocked AI. Which what was presented was true, not fake.

My “rant” was responding to your comments to me.

Missing on one player does not mean we ran out of cash. To be fair I’m not saying we didn’t run out of cash but nothing has been posted that really proves it. We’d have to see the financial statements and NIL agreements to know for sure

I didn’t make my post because of missing one player. My posts were direct quotes from the head football coach. I included more information than just missing one player.

The quote was regarding not being able to get a specific player. Honestly I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make, if it’s that Nebraska has a finite number of resources then yes I’d agree with that.
