A Nebraska legend made a significant announcement on Saturday. Former Husker Ndamukong Suh announced on social media that he is officially retiring from professional football.

In a post exceeding 300 words, Suh laid out his decision, reminiscing about his father’s passing, which had occurred one year prior.

“Before he passed, he gave me one final piece of advice,” Suh said in his post. “It’s time to let football go. You’ve done everything you set out to do. Now it’s time for the next chapter.”

Suh’s been out of NFL play since 2022, last donning a jersey for the Philadelphia Eagles, making eight regular-season appearances with the team. He finished with 10 total tackles and one sack in that stretch.

Former Nebraska baseball pitcher Brett Sears was called up to AAA on Friday afternoon, as he made the move to the Gwinnett Stripers. The announcement was made on social media on Friday.

Sears went 3-3 with a 3.65 ERA. He had 34 strikeouts and a. 187 batting average against. The Atlanta Braves selected him in the seventh round of the 2024 MLB draft.

It should be no surprise to Nebraska baseball fans, as they watched Sears put together a dominating career on the mound. All told, he went 11-6 over the course of four seasons, along with 155 strikeouts in 171 innings pitched. He sported a 3.84 ERA in total and was dominant for Nebraska on several occasions.

Now, it appears he is playing at a high level in the minor leagues. It will be interesting to see how quickly he makes it to the pros, as he continues to rise up the minor league ranks. This certainly speaks to the Huskers’ recent success at the minor league level.

LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) – On Friday, Nebraska State Auditor Mike Foley released an audit report on the Commission on African American Affairs, a commission seeking to enhance the cause of African American rights and to develop solutions to problems common to all Nebraska African Americans.

The Commission was formed through the passing of LB 918 in 2020 and is comprised of 14 African American members who were appointed by the Governor from a panel of nominees submitted by the public. Each member serves a four-year term.

Some of Foley’s key report highlights include:

• The report covers the first four and a half fiscal years of the Commission’s existence, through Dec. 31, 2024, during which time it spent $347,000. Those expenditures are summarized in Exhibit B of the report (page 47).
• Despite its short existence, the Commission has had eight Chairpersons and four Executive Directors. The audit report alleges that the third of the four Executive Directors – John Carter, whose tenure lasted only two and a half months – misrepresented to the Nebraska Department of Administrative Services (DAS) his appointment to that position. None of the four Executive Directors have stayed longer than seven and a half months and the position has been vacant since April 1.
• Page four of the report identifies seven key audit findings:
  • Open meetings violations (details on page 5-12);
  • Alleged misrepresentations to DAS by John Carter that he was duly named Interim Executive Director (details on pages 12-20);
  • Questionable Commission expenditures (details on pages 20-28);
  • Questionable Commission purchasing card transactions (details on pages 28-31);
  • Violation of State contract bidding procedures (details on pages 31-34);
  • Excessive use of temporary employees (details on pages 34-35); and
  • Problematic reliance upon poor DAS – State Accounting assistance provided to the Commission (details on pages 35-39).
