Nebraska Reacts Survey: How Much Do You Care About Big 10 Football Media Days?

Since I was on my way to Vegas, I figured testing the waters for actual interest in the event beyond press was timely stuff for a summer poll. Also, in an article posted earlier in the day

, I had already offered that there wasn’t much new to be learned at these events, rather they are mostly a chance for coaches players pump some optimism into our veins before the real thing begins.

Not surprisingly, the winner was “no real interest at all” coming in at 55%. I would suspect this is the case for two

reasons - 1) the aforementioned lack of actual fresh news and 2) who actually enjoys watching people sit around and talk for what amounted to around 15 hours?

Interest in the event totaled a combined 45% with 26% confessing some interest and 19% going for the full monty. It’s the Nebraska Cornhuskers, so there wasn’t going to be a shutout there.

A couple of thoughts:

• Would it have changed the voting at all if a nugget such as “Matt Rhule will comment on Scott Frost’s Big 12 Media Days remarks during his individual podium interview,” had been released on Monday prior to the event?
• Let’s have a another poll to garner interest in a potential new summer B1G event:
