Adding Nebraska to schedule is step in right direction
When UA athletic director Greg Byrne last week added future football home-and-home games with Nebraska, it signaled the end to Arizona’s cream puff football schedules. Playing Nebraska is not like those bold days when Arizona played home-and-home games with Oklahoma, Ohio State and Notre Dame, but it’s a start back in that direction for UA fans who have been frustrated by paying to watch non-Power 5 conference opponents at Arizona Stadium. The Wildcats open the 2016 season at University of Phoenix Stadium against BYU; the Cougars have a more imposing ’16 schedule than Arizona, playing Utah, UCLA, West Virginia, Michigan State and Mississippi State.
