[Husker] Pre-Snap Read: The Big 12's Double Standard

[George Rapp]

If you can stand one more opinion on the Eric Martin suspension, this
article from Paul Myerberg (a NY Times reporter who also runs an excellent
football blog) is a good read:

I don't agree with his easy dismissal of an anti-Nebraska bias this year by
the Big XII office -- watching the officiating in person vs. Texas made me
suspicious, and this suspension announcement does nothing to discourage my
suspicions -- but the article makes a good point: is a DUI equivalent to an
unpenalized hit on a kickoff return?

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
