[Husker] Two Husker Wrestlers Caught with their pants down

[Scott R Lawson]

To me the bottom line is why the heck do anything that even MIGHT get
you or the team you represent in hot water in the first place? There
have to be other ways to make some spending money than what these two
did. For these two to think this wouldn't have been a PR nightmare (not
to mention against NCAA rules, like them or not) is ridiculous.

I'm not commenting on either the online pictures or whether or not
the NCAA rule is outdated, but it is a little funny to say that the
NCAA has to protect the athletes from ways they could make money.
The NCAA may have an interest in doing so, but it isn't really to
keep them from being "taken advantage of".  In fact, some argue, with
some merit, that it is the NCAA that takes advantage of the athletes.
