LINCOLN — Near halftime of Nebraska football's 44-25 win over Wisconsin, the Huskers executed their two-minute drill in "12" personnel. That's one running back and two tight ends — Nate Boerkircher and Luke Lindenmeyer. The Aurora and Papillion-La Vista graduates got more playing than usual, and much more playing time that usual starter Thomas Fidone, after practicing well in front of new offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen. "Nate's an excellent player and he's unselfish, doesn't complain about his touches," Rhule said of Boerkircher, who tied his career high with two catches. "You ask him to do something, Nate does it. Very steady." Lindenmeyer, Rhule said, has "put his foot on the gas and accelerated" since Holgorsen arrived during the bye week. "In practice, he's trying to put people on their backs, he's trying to finish blocks," Rhule said. "Those guys are really dependable guys. They execute at a high level. They've earned a chance to play." Fidone played only a handful of snaps but had a good practice on Tuesday. He has 30 catches for 298 yards. He arrived at NU in 2021 as a top-100 recruit with a lot of "accolades," but suffered back-to-back knee injuries in 2021 and 2022, which stunted his development. Fidone caught 25 passes in 2023. Rhule said Holgorsen's bluntness in a press conference — when he criticized the running backs and receivers — carries over to the practice field where the players who practice best during the week subsequently play during the game. "Dana's brought a standard, offensively, that, I'm not going to say we didn't have before but he has the experience to kind of follow through on it that will be good for us all to learn from," Rhule said. Thomas, I'm sure, will have a great role in this game. None of the guys can make plays down the field the way he can. He's just kind of continuing to work on him." Rhule said he doesn't tell Holgorsen and tight ends coach Marcus Satterfield who to play at tight end. Get local news delivered to your inbox!

When the NCAA's playing rules oversight committee this past spring approved the use of coach-to-player helmet communications in games for the 2024 season, Kolpacki, Michigan State's head football equipment manager, knew the Spartans' QBs and linebackers were going to have a problem. "There had to be some sort of solution," he said. As it turns out, there was. And it was right across the street. Kolpacki reached out to Tamara Reid Bush, a mechanical engineering professor who not only heads the school's Biomechanical Design Research Laboratory but also is a football season ticket-holder. Kolpacki "showed me some photos and said that other teams had just put duct tape inside the (earhole), and he asked me, 'Do you think we can do anything better than duct tape,?" Bush said. "And I said, 'Oh, absolutely.'" Bush and Rylie DuBois, a sophomore biosystems engineering major and undergraduate research assistant at the lab, set out to produce earhole inserts made from polylactic acid, a bio-based plastic, using a 3D printer. Part of the challenge was accounting for the earhole sizes and shapes that vary depending on helmet style. Once the season got underway with a Friday night home game against Florida Atlantic on Aug. 30, the helmets of starting quarterback Aidan Chiles and linebacker Jordan Turner were outfitted with the inserts, which helped mitigate crowd noise. DuBois attended the game, sitting in the student section. "I felt such a strong sense of accomplishment and pride," DuBois said. "And I told all my friends around me about how I designed what they were wearing on the field." All told, Bush and DuBois have produced around 180 sets of the inserts, a number that grew in part due to the variety of helmet designs and colors that are available to be worn by Spartan players any given Saturday. Plus, the engineering folks have been fine-tuning their design throughout the season. Dozens of Bowl Subdivision programs are doing something similar. In many cases, they're getting 3D-printed earhole covers from XO Armor Technologies, which provides on-site, on-demand 3D printing of athletic wearables. The Auburn, Alabama-based company has donated its version of the earhole covers to the equipment managers of programs ranging from Georgia and Clemson to Boise State and Arizona State in the hope the schools would consider doing business with XO Armor in the future, said Jeff Klosterman, vice president of business development. XO Armor first was approached by the Houston Texans at the end of last season about creating something to assist quarterback C.J. Stroud in better hearing play calls delivered to his helmet during road games. XO Armor worked on a solution and had completed one when it received another inquiry: Ohio State, which had heard Michigan State was moving forward with helmet inserts, wondered if XO Armor had anything in the works. "We kind of just did this as a one-off favor to the Texans and honestly didn't forecast it becoming our viral moment in college football," Klosterman said. "We've now got about 60 teams across college football and the NFL wearing our sound-deadening earhole covers every weekend." The rules state that only one player for each team is permitted to be in communication with coaches while on the field. For the Spartans, it's typically Chiles on offense and Turner on defense. Turner prefers to have an insert in both earholes, but Chiles has asked that the insert be used in only one on his helmet. Chiles "likes to be able to feel like he has some sort of outward exposure," Kolpacki said. Exposure is something the sophomore signal-caller from Long Beach, California, had in away games against Michigan and Oregon this season. Michigan Stadium welcomed 110,000-plus fans for the Oct. 26 matchup between the in-state rivals. And while just under 60,000 packed Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Oregon, for the Ducks' 31-10 win over Michigan State three weeks earlier, it was plenty loud. "The Big Ten has some pretty impressive venues," Kolpacki said. "It can be just deafening," he said. "That's what those fans are there for is to create havoc and make it difficult for coaches to get a play call off." Something that is a bit easier to handle thanks to Bush and her team. She called the inserts a "win-win-win" for everyone. "It's exciting for me to work with athletics and the football team," she said. "I think it's really exciting for our students as well to take what they've learned and develop and design something and see it being used and executed."

The Biden administration on Tuesday moved to end a program that has for decades allowed companies to pay workers with disabilities less than the minimum wage. The statute, enacted as part of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, has let employers obtain certificates from the Labor Department that authorize them to pay workers with disabilities less than the federal minimum wage, currently $7.25. The department began a “comprehensive review” of the program last year, and on Tuesday it proposed a rule that would bar new certificates and phase out current ones over three years. “This proposal would help ensure that workers with disabilities have access to equal employment opportunities, while reinforcing our fundamental belief that all workers deserve fair compensation for their contribution,” Taryn Williams, assistant secretary of labor for disability employment policy, said on a call with reporters. As of May, about 800 employers held certificates allowing them to pay workers less than minimum wage, affecting roughly 40,000 workers, said Kristin Garcia, deputy administrator of the Labor Department’s wage and hour division. Those figures reflect a steep decline in employers’ reliance on the program in recent years: The number of workers with disabilities earning less than the minimum wage dropped to 122,000 in 2019 from 296,000 in 2010, according to a report published last year from the Government Accountability Office. Since 2019, more than half of workers employed under this program earned less than $3.50 an hour, according to the report. Related Story: The Labor Department’s proposed rule, even if it is finalized, faces several hurdles. It is likely to confront legal challenges and could be reversed under the incoming Trump administration. There has been debate about whether the department has authority to alter the program or if that power rests solely with Congress. Many disability rights advocates have pushed for years to end the practice, arguing that it perpetuates economic inequality and prevents those with disabilities from affording basic goods without government assistance or other forms of financial support. Several states have banned or restricted the practice. Certificates allowing employers to pay less than the minimum wage are “inherently based on a deeply flawed, false, ableist notion that disabled workers’ labor and contributions are less valuable than the labor and contributions of their nondisabled peers,” Maria Town, president of the American Association of People With Disabilities, said in a statement. “The ideas on which these certificates are based have no place in our modern society and workforce.” Related Story: Some parents of adults with disabilities, however, have urged for the program to remain in place, raising concern about a potential loss of work opportunities or Social Security benefits. The Coalition for the Preservation of Employment Choice, a group of families, caregivers and others who are pushing for the program to stay in effect, did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the Labor Department’s proposal. But the group has argued that eliminating the statute would reduce the number and diversity of employment opportunities for people with disabilities. Opportunities for workers with disabilities to obtain employment at the full minimum wage have “dramatically expanded” in recent decades, Garcia said. These changes to the employment landscape factored into the department’s conclusion that issuing certificates for pay below the minimum wage was no longer necessary, she said, adding that the proposed rule would increase purchasing power and independence for workers with disabilities. The department said it would review public comments on the proposal until Jan. 17. — This article originally appeared in . By Danielle Kaye/Ting Shen c.2024 The New York Times Company
