Nebraska leaves the Big Ten, signs a streaming deal with Amazon -- giving them access to the program a la 'Hard Knocks' -- and giving NU a direct & unprecedented pipeline to proper medical supplies and merch distribution (I have no idea how this actually works, so bear with me).
They show a fully televised scrimmage, a 7-on-7s contest, and a skills challenge on consecutive weekends that enable the team to showcase themselves and enable Amazon to have an "Adults Only", swear-words/drinking encouraged broadcast of a game against Iowa after a few weeks.
They also feature Scott Frost and Mario Verduzco going one-on-one in both chess and beer pong. Iowa gets a $2,000,000 check for participating and Nebraska makes bank.

The broadcast booth for all of these events features Kevin Kugler, Adam Devine, and color commentary by Gabrielle Union. Amazon throws piles of cash into the gaping, content-starved masses and makes a few bucks.
This enables us to quarantine the players (who would also receive a stipend) and keep them safe, while simultaneously allowing them to continue to hone their craft and allowing Bill Moos to facilitate new TV money as necessary.
