‘An inflated sense of self.’ Michael Wilbon blasts Nebraska for its Big Ten criticism
The Big Ten announced Tuesday that it would postpone the football season because of the COVID-19 pandemic with the hopes of playing in the spring.
Nebraska expressed its displeasure at the conference’s decision and said the Cornhuskers “have been and continue to be ready to play.”
On Monday, Nebraska football coach Scott Frost said he would fight for his players who want to play this fall.
“Our university is committed to playing no matter what,” Frost said. “No matter what that looks like and how that looks.”
The Cornhuskers’ discontent with the Big Ten incensed ESPN’s Michael Wilbon, who on Tuesday who called out Nebraska for “whining.”
“I hope somebody on that call said to Nebraska’s representatives, even its president: Get the hell out,” Wilbon said on “Pardon The Interruption.” “If you want to turn and tuck tail after you receive $52 million of guaranteed TV money every year, then go. Go somewhere else.
“What an inflated sense of self the Nebraska football program has that hasn’t done a damn thing in like a decade or more. They’ve done nothing. ... I hope somebody said get out.”
That’s just part of what Wilbon said about Nebraska. Here is the entire clip:
