Episode 131 The Showdown: Reacting to Nebraska vs. Illinois on a Friday and Memorial Stadium renovation changes

Sam McKewon and Amie Just talk Nebraska vs. Illinois under the Friday Night Lights, changes to Memorial Stadium's renovation and more.

The duo opens with a look at the Huskers' Friday night game that puts it direct competition with high school football, give their reactions and talk logistics of the game. They break down new Athletic Director Troy Dannen's comments on the game, and how this could affect season ticket holders who don't live near Lincoln.

They move onto the changes to the Memorial Stadium renovations, give their reactions to shifting from South Stadium to East and West Stadiums. Is Nebraska simply shifting their focus to the more expensive tickets? They also talk what happens once Nebraska no longer allows grandfathered-in seats and the inevitable reshuffling of seats.

The two talk the Big Ten's involvement and planning for potentially sharing revenue with student athletes and the potential Title IX lawsuits that will inevitably come.

They give an update on Nebraska in the Big Ten baseball tournament, and close out with Nebraska softball.
