Legendary Husker football coach Tom Osborne recently shared his thoughts on the current state of college football, emphasizing the significant changes that have occurred in the sport since he retired in 1997. Osborne expressed concerns about the impact of player transfers, the free agency nature of players, and the lack of competitive balance in college sports. He believes that the NCAA has lost its clout and that a managing agency within college athletics is needed to bring back common sense guidelines. Osborne looks to the Big Ten and SEC conferences as potential leaders in establishing new regulations to address these issues. In a conversation with KETV’s Rob McCartney, Osborne highlighted the need for cooperation among major programs to navigate the evolving landscape of college football. As revenue sharing, collective bargaining agreements, and name, image, and likeness (NIL) policies continue to shape the future of college sports, Osborne remains hopeful that the sport can find a sustainable model that prioritizes fairness and balance. Stay tuned for more insights from Tom Osborne on the TeamMates mentoring program in an upcoming interview on Chronicle.
