Coach Mark Manning has continued a tradition of success in his 16 years at the helm of the Huskers. With hard work and a dedication to excellence, Manning has developed a program that consistently competes with the nation’s best in collegiate wrestling. Since its inaugural season in 1910-11, Nebraska has earned more than 670 dual victories, including 212 wins in the past 16 years under Manning. Over the past 16 years, the Huskers have finished in the top 10 at the NCAA Championships seven times and racked up 42 All-America honors, including five individual national titles. In the classroom, NU wrestlers have earned 56 NWCA All-Academic Team selections en route to seven CoSIDA Academic All-America awards. One reason NU has been able to develop such a successful program is its top-notch facilities. In the fall of 2011, the Husker wrestling program moved into the state-of-the-art Hendricks Training Complex, which provides four full-sized practice mats, new office suites and new areas for both strength and conditioning and athletic medicine. The Hendricks Complex is attached to the Devaney Center, which hosts the majority of Nebraska’s duals this season. With a wealth of support and a history of success, Nebraska wrestling expects to contend for conference and national championships every year. Above: The Nebraska wrestling program has been built on the strong support of coaches and wrestlers, including (from left): Coach Mark Manning, who has guided the Huskers to a 212- 80-3 record since 2000; Justin Ruiz, a two-time All- American in 2002 and 2003 at 197 pounds; Matt Murray, an All-American in 2004 at 141 pounds; Jacob Klein, a two-time All-American in 2004 and 2006 at 165 and 174 pounds; Jordan Burroughs, gold medalist at the 2012 London Olympics and two-time NCAA champion.

Manning has helped young men grow into upstanding adults by teaching athletes that the values they learn on the mat can be transferred into their personal lives. Bryan Snyder (right) earned his Ph.D. in sociology after becoming NU's first four-time All-American. Snyder is now associate head coach for the Huskers. "Wrestling presents a lot of challenges, but also the ability to work through those challenges. Wrestling builds good character and good work ethic and I definitely built that at Nebraska." - Bryan Snyder A three-time All-American at Nebraska in the early 1990's, Scott Chenoweth (above) has coached his high school team to multiple state titles. The Scherr brothers were both national champions at Nebraska in 1984, before continuing their prosperity on the mat into their personal lives. Bill (above left) earned the collegiate title at 190 pounds and went on to win five "I learned the only thing holding me medals in the Olympics and FILA World Championships before turning his attention to a professional career. He back was me. If I wanted a degree, now serves as the vice president of a global investment banking and securities firm. there was no reason I couldn't get "Wrestling teaches you valuable life lessons like self-discipline and perseverance. It gives you a sense of pride that degree." and accomplishment. All of those translate into any sort of career you would want to pursue." - Bill Scherr Jim (above right) won the national title at 177 pounds with a victory over Iowa's Duane Goldman and also continued his wrestling career onto the international stage. Jim claimed three medals between the Olympics and FILA World Championships and continued his involvement with the Olympics through 2008.

  • Sports Business Journal: Going Gray: Sports TV Viewers Skew Older Study: Nearly All Sports See Quick Rise in Average Age of TV
    Sports Business Journal: Going gray: Sports TV viewers skew older Study: Nearly all sports see quick rise in average age of TV viewers as younger fans shift to digital platforms By John Lombardo & David Broughton, Staff Writers | Published June 5, 2017, Page 1 According to a striking study of Nielsen television viewership data of 25 sports, all but one have seen the median age of their TV viewers increase during the past decade. How top properties stack up Avg. age of Change TV viewers since Property in 2016 2006 PGA Tour 64 +5 ATP 61 +5 NASCAR 58 +9 MLB 57 +4 WTA 55 -8 NFL 50 +4 NHL 49 +7 NBA 42 +2 MLS 40 +1 Source: Magna Global The study, conducted exclusively for Sports Business Journal by Magna Global, looked at live, regular-season game coverage of major sports across both broadcast and cable television in 2000, 2006 and 2016. It showed that while the median age of viewers of most sports, except the WTA, NBA and MLS, is aging faster than the overall U.S. population, it is doing so at a slower pace than prime-time TV. The trends show the challenges facing leagues as they try to attract a younger audience and ensure long-term viability, and they reflect the changes in consumption patterns as young people shift their attention to digital platforms. “There is an increased interest in short-term things, like stats and quick highlights,” said Brian Hughes, senior vice president of audience intelligence and strategy at Magna Global. “That availability of information has naturally funneled some younger viewers away from TV.” Jeramie McPeek, former longtime digital media executive for the Phoenix Suns who now runs Jeramie McPeek Communications, a social media consultancy, also cited the movement of younger consumers to digital platforms.

  • Unlocking the Smarter Remote Production Opportunity
    A CONCISE GUIDE TO… UNLOCKING THE SMARTER REMOTE PRODUCTION OPPORTUNITY ive TV events, especially sports, create an unrivalledL buzz, anticipation and excitement among viewers the world over, but there are three major trends that the live production sector needs to recognize and address to ensure continued success. The rise in popularity of Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) services is the first, underlining that consumers want more content – and more choice. The second is a greater focus on improved sustainability and employees’ wellbeing. Traditional live production set-ups require huge amounts of equipment and a large crew to be transported to the live location – not to mention several days’ worth of set up and take-down time. Finally, consumers are prepared to pay for fresh content, principally live sports. The trouble when it comes to live content – particularly sports – is that, as the cost of producing more live coverage is driven up by surging demand, it is not being met by the price that consumers are willing to pay. When you add in the rising outlay for hotly contested rights, the pressure is on broadcasters to find ways to produce more content more affordably – without compromising on quality. 1 GOING GLOBAL But all is not doom and gloom. The globalization of TV and rising viewer demand for more choices has unlocked huge potential, growing audiences and prospective revenues in new territories. For example, over the 2018/19 season, around 40 million viewers in North America watched English Premier League soccer (football in the rest of the world), within a global audience of 600 million people across 200 countries.

  • Internships Are a Key Component of a Student's Academic Program at The
    Gaining Professional Experiences Across the United States: A Summary of University of Nebraska-Lincoln Turf Internships 2012-14 Internships are a key component of a student’s academic program at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. They allow students to explore different areas of turfgrass management, make connections with future employers, learn about warm- and cool-season turfgrasses under different growing conditions, and experience a professional work environment. Two internships are required as part of each student’s academic program, and students are strongly encouraged to have at least one of these internships at an out-of-state facility. From 2012-14, 45 students completed 67 turf internships for academic credit in 25 different states. The images below represent each location where a student completed an internship. For locations with multiple interns over the three years, the number of students who interned at that location is listed in parentheses after the facility name.
