Nebraska Cancels Friday Classes in Prep for Illinois Game

The head decision makers at the University of Nebraska are doing the Lord's work.

The Huskers are 3-0, and instead of forcing students to endure in-person classes in anticipation of Friday's ranked showdown vs. Illinois, the school is opting for virtual classes.

This allows students and fans alike to get a head start on "game prep" and build into what already will be a special atmosphere on Friday night.
