[Husker] Two Husker Wrestlers Caught with their pants down

[jon johnston]

I don't think the rule is outdated, I think it's more pertinent than  
ever. Never before could college athletes use celebrity to their  
advantage, never before could they be so taken advantage of. You said  
it yourself with the USC reference.

This is part of paying dues, and what these guys did was so incredibly  
stupid, it's beyond belief.

It is too bad for the program, after all the building and work to see  
it shot down so hard like this. Again, beyond belief.
