[Husker] Another Suspension

[Paul Dalen]

This just in:

>From the BigXII Home Office at the Unversity of Texas - Big XII Commissioner
Dan Beebe ruled today that the entire 1995 Nebraska Cornhusker football team
had been suspended ex post facto for the entire year.  When asked why the
conference would levy, without warning, the death penalty on the team, he
responded that in totality, every member of the team took part in a brutal
dismantling of the Big 8 that year, leaving hundreds of players bruised,
beaten, and with years of PTSD.
