[Husker] NU article in NY Times

[Tommy Thompson]

The last line of that article says a lot:
Todd Peterson, a junior wide receiver from Grand Island, Neb., said: "It's 
tough when you don't win. I know it's college, but it's business at the same 
time. There's a lot of money involved. We're feeling pressure."

Seems to me that student athletes should be concerned about school and their 
sport.  Not sure why money should be a factor to them nor why it should be a 
pressure on them.

I'm serious about this next question:  How did an attitude of "Business" and 
"Money" get instilled into the Husker players (or at least Peterson)?  Who 
is responsible...Pederson?  Callahan?  Perlman? the Fans?  other Students? 
I don't think I've ever heard those words spoken by a football player at any 
school...ever.
