[Husker] Pelini Article

[Mike and Kel]

I'm sure in Texas, California, Florida, etc. it isn't essential to having a top program. In Nebraska it is more than "nice" and I would have to agree with Dr. Osborne that it is pretty darn important.

One only has to look at the outstanding walk-ons that we have had in the past who contributed to National Championships. They could have been playing somewhere else if they hadn't been encouraged to walk-on.

Callahan dodn't eliminate walk-ons, he just didn't want to deal with the large number of players that we had in the past and wanted to concentrate more on high profile players. This didn't always work out. I think the local players helped with the culture of Nebraska football as a whole.

>     An article about Pelini and Houston Nutt.  There is mention of the walk on program at NU and how Pelini has reinstated it.  I really have never seen the big thing about the wal on program.  I think more than anything it had become tradition at NU and it is nice.  There are a lot of programs across the country that have little or no walk on program and are doing quite nicely so it wouldn't appear it is essential to having a top program.
