See the link below. From the article:
“Nebraska football coach Matt Rhule had a cautious message for fans -- and not just at Nebraska -- looking for a quick fix, especially at quarterback.
After a season in which three Cornhuskers quarterbacks made appearances in at least five games, Rhule was asked if he planned on addressing the position in the transfer portal.
"Make no mistake that a good quarterback in the portal costs, you know, a million to $1.5 million to $2 million right now, just so we're all on the same page," Rhule said Wednesday while discussing the state of the program with reporters. "Let's make sure we all understand what's happening. There are some teams that have $6 [million] or $7 million players playing for them."
Rhule, who closed out his first season with the Cornhuskers with a 5-7 record, said he was not opposed to finding players in the portal. Last year, the Huskers took quarterback Jeff Sims, who started 23 games over three years at Georgia Tech, although Sims started just two games for Nebraska this year, throwing one touchdown and six interceptions.
But Rhule said he'd prefer to find and develop his own players.
"We just kind of believe in doing things the old-school way, the hard way -- building," Rhule said.”

I like Rhule and agree with his point of view, but good luck with that.

Huskers' Rhule: Good QB in portal 'costs' $1-2M
Nebraska coach Matt Rhule says he would prefer to do things "the old-school way" by finding and developing his own players rather than turning to the transfer portal.
