The key here isn't a "sell-out streak". The streak in itself isn't that 
important relative to the bigger picture. 

The real problem is that this will begin to cut into the AD budget - and 
if you want to kill Nebraska athletics - not just the football team - try 
cutting off the $$$$ spigot. 

Whether Steve Pederson stays or goes should not be solely dependent upon 
Bill Callahan's ability to win football games. If the Nebraska 
department's budget starts to suffer, it's at that point that Steve needs 
to go.
