Nebraska coach Matt Rhule, who spent much of his career in the NFL, said: “We could get rid of all the stupid signs on the sidelines and we could get pictures of rock stars and we could just play football the way it was meant to be. You go to a high school game, there’s technology on the sideline. You go to an NFL game, there’s technology on the sideline. You go to college game, there’s nothing.”
