The Nebraska Cornhuskers have officially begun the hunt for Ted Carter’s replacement has begun with a Board of Regents meeting.

The interesting thing about that meeting is that at first, the purpose of the meeting was a secret. According to WOWT, the meeting started out as these meetings always do, with an open to the public segment on Zoom. However, it took no time at all before the meeting was closed.

According to sources inside the university, the Board of Regents closed the meeting to “prevent needlessly injuring the reputation of whoever had requested it.”

While it’s not clear what exactly that meant, the university did eventually release info that the meeting was find a new university president for the Nebraska Cornhuskers following the sudden departure of Ted Carter.

The BoR sent out a notice that it is putting together a Presidential Search Advisory Committee. It’s even taking applications from the public at large to man the committee. Those applications and nominations must be in by September 6.

It would seem at the very least that Ted Carter’s replacement isn’t going to be in place quickly. The process is going to take a while.

Considering the power the university president has, now even over the Nebraska Cornhuskers athletic department, being cautious and deliberate is a good thing.

Nebraska Cornhuskers sweep again

John Cook and company are 2-0 after another sweep on Saturday night. This time around, the Huskers beat Lipscomb, but there was some drama involved in the 25-10, 25-21, 25-16 victory.

That second set was especially impressive considering the Huskers trailed 19-13 at one point before going on a 12-2 run.

They’ll face off against SMU on Sunday afternoon.

Former Huskers have big Saturday

Two ex-Nebraska Cornhuskers stars had some nice games on Saturday for their respective NFL teams.

Defensive back Dicaprio Bootle recorded two tackles, but it was his interception in the middle of an interview with quarterback Patrick Mahomes that grabbed everyone’s attention. Including the future Hall of Famer’s.

Meanwhile, Trey Palmer continued his insane preseason with another incredible catch. On the game, he had two catches for 25 yards. For the preseason, he has 7 catches for 91 yards and 2 TDs. It’s not a matter of whether he’ll make the team, it’s a matter of whether he might be a starter.
