Nebraska Football: Here’s to hoping Husker parents letter moves needle

Nebraska football parents are making their feelings heard.

As the realization that there may be no Nebraska football this fall continues to set in. Nebraska football parents are making a push to save the season. As noted by several media outlets, Glen Snodgrass, father of linebacker Garrett Snodgrass is going to get together with several Husker parents and write a letter to  Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren either Saturday night or Sunday morning.

After that, the goal would be to post it on social media Sunday, and then mail it on Monday.

To be perfectly honest, I commend Snodgrass for writing this letter. Speaking from working on a football team myself, every player wants every single opportunity they have to play the game. Those four years of football go by so quickly. At the very least, the ACC and SEC are playing games. With the proper precautions, why can’t the Big Ten?

Snodgrass and the rest of the Nebraska football parents are certainly justified in writing a letter to Warren. The only question is, will this move the needle at all? I commend him for trying and spearheading the effort to make the voices of Husker parents heard. I hope Commissioner Warren will take their words to heart.

In an interview with the Lincoln Journal Star, Snodgrass notes that the language used in the Big Ten’s announcement to cancel the season was intriguing to say the least. In a season that holds a ton of promise for the Nebraska football program, cancellations in the fall may derail any momentum the team has gained as practices get underway

"“The language they used when they decided to close the season down was they were doing what was best for the kids physically, mentally and emotionally,” Snodgrass said. “Our thought as parents is: Who really has more concern for the players’ physical, mental and emotional needs than their parents?“And I don’t want to speak for (college) coaches by any means, but they care as much about these kids as anybody.”"

In any event, I’ll be interested to see what Snodgrass has to say and what the rest of the Husker parents have to say. The Nebraska football community has been very vocal in wanting to play, and I don’t blame them.

Over the course of the past couple of days, we have begun to see parents of Big 10 football players write letters. With how passionate Nebraska football parents and fans are, I only thought it was a matter of time before this happened. Hopefully, it can move the
