[Husker] Fw: Taylor Martinez back story

[George Rapp]

I received something like this as well, and while I don't give it a lot of
credence (I'm only at the "Bob Davie's cable guy said ..." level of
convinced), but it does raise a question.  Would Martinez have to sit out
two years for an in-conference transfer if he went to a Big XII-II school -
or to a Big Ten school?  What if he transfers next June 30th at exactly the
stroke of midnight?  8^)

A wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men from injuring
one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their
own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the
mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of
good government... - Thomas Jefferson, First Inaugural Address
