Osborne throws down the gauntlet to Boise St.
 

Nebraska athletic director Tom Osborne has offered Boise State a 2-for-1 scheduling proposal, he said Friday on the Idaho Sports Talk with Caves and Prater radio show on KTIK. The proposal calls for two games in Lincoln, Neb., and one in Bronco Stadium, with the series starting in 2015, Osborne said. Boise State officials were not available for comment late Friday afternoon.

Sweet! i'll go check the local paper to see if there is an update.

Why doesn't Osborne offer a 1 for 1 or 2 for 2? Why should a team the caliber of Boise settle for a 2 for 1 with any school?

I wouldn't call it throwing down the gauntlet. BSU has been begging teams to play for years. You could say Nebraska's finally stepped up.

this

Boise St is the power house...Nebraska is just another big 12 school

Osbourne is just trying to leverage a good deal by going public.

If Boise turns it down then they look like they were full of crap all these times when they said they couldn't get anyone to play them.

Because their stadium only seats 32,000 people.

There you go. If Boise doesn't accept they'll get called on it, :D

Boise will except and nebraska will be lucky to go 1 and 2 in the series.

Because Nebraska does not need Boise State. Nebraska has a stadium that holds over 80,000 Boise State has a stadium that holds 33,000. This is a very sweet deal for Boise State and generous of Osborne~

I wouldn't go as far as generous but a good deal for Boise. They have been asking for anything including a 1 for none away deal. It would have been better if Nebraska would have given them the chance on the 2011 open date but 2015 is Ok.

I expect it to go 1and2 in either direction

Agreed I thought about the way it came out when I posted it. It is a win situation for Boise State and one NU may regret~

Generous because Nebraska will pay big bucks to buy out of the remaining 2 games after they take a good old fashioned ass kicking in the first game.

I think that's Boise's biggest problem. Their stadium is too small to make it economically feasible for teams to have a 1-1 series with them.
