[Husker] Cody Glenn Suspended

[George Rapp]

David -

I believe it happened the week of the 1985 season opener vs. Florida State.
The NCAA started out suspending 30+ players for selling tickets, but NU
appealed it down to probation.  The distraction helped the Florida State
College for Women <http://www.fsu.edu/%7Especcoll/curric/currcoll.htm> eke
out a 17-13 win.  (That was my first game as a UN-L student.  Cody Glenn
would not be born for another 13 months after that game ... {sigh}  8^)

I have no doubt that Tom Osborne had a large role to play in this matter.
He knows the stakes for the program if this kind of stuff starts happening
again.
