[Husker] Shatel on Bo

[Mark Landin]

Ok NU got jobbed. But for Bo to state that the jobbing was PLANNED,
and that the game officials COMPLIED with that plan, and that he knew
about it ahead of time, is nothing short of a nuclear bombshell. Is
that kind of misconduct not at least as shocking and egregious as
misconduct by a player or coach?
