Correct. Last year they also beat Western Michigan (going off memory here) I believe. If I were Minnesota, I wouldn't want to play them either. We literally had as many fans as they did!
Hurt, as in they are not going to get the talent that they did the last 4 years because Bill and company did not give a legitimate look at the local talent? Or hurt as in the left overs from Tom's years of running the walk-on program?
The first definitely! In 2 cases we have players that were willing to walk on next year rather than keep their scholarship from their current school, or have turned down scholarships to walk on at Nebraska.
The second, not so much. The interest the University of Nebraska produces in football is way to great for the school to handle. Many many kids each year want to play for the huskers. It is simply not possible. The ones that don't end up going to the smaller schools and do just fine.
Colorado, Colorado St are prime examples of this - the school that benefits from these two school (at least when I was following division 2) was one of NDSU's rivals in division 2, the Northern Colorado Bears. At the division 2 level they attributed a lot of success and talented athletes to the higher Division 1 schools.
I don't know that the football interest has dropped off in Nebraska, but there is going to renewed excitement in the air not that Tom is back and Bo is running the program
