Corn Nation, a Nebraska Cornhuskers community

While Altman waffles, the search seems to be focusing on Ohio's John Groce and Colorado State's Tim Miles.

The Nike money proves too strong for Altman. Now the Huskers focus on trying to convince Ohio's John Groce. If not Groce, then it's probably Colorado State's Tim Miles.

Marshall turned down $2 million. John Groce isn't showing much interest in the Huskers either. Before turning to the B-list, Osborne needs to sharpen his pencil and try again, especially once Illinois makes their hire.

CBS will feature a double-header Thursday evening with Shaka Smart, Gregg Marshall, and Steve McClain. TNT will have John Groce on Friday evening.

Beside the usual candidates like Shaka Smart, Gregg Marshall, and Dana Altman, there are some intriguing names here --- starting with Ben Howland.
