Nebraska athletic director Bill Moos said his Athletic Department is currently considering facilities upgrades for its football, golf and swimming programs.

Moos, making his monthly appearance on the "Husker Sports Nightly" radio program, also said that he had staffers tour Illinois' brand new football facility last week when NU was in Champaign, Illinois, to play the Illini.

"We did, and they came away very impressed," Moos said. "There is, literally, every team in the Big Ten has built a football facility or is in the process except for Nebraska. This is our competition, and that's why we're taking a real serious look at this.

"I really believe that what we have is more than sufficient, but we're trying to build a national championship contender program here and you do that with a stable coaching staff and the great fan base that we have. At the end of the day, it's arms and legs and talent that's going to go on the field, and we want to attract the very best to Lincoln."

A caller asked what a potential price tag might look like, but Moos didn't talk specifics about any of the individual projects or the three together.
