Kirk Herbstreit Used Unethically Tactics To Sway QB Dylan Raiola To Nebraska?

Dylan’s father, Dominic Raiola, told Rivals about a conversation he had over the phone with Kirk Herbstreit about the influence his son will have on Nebraska. Raiola’s switch is not just from Georgia to Nebraska; it’s also from the SEC, which broadcasts with Fox, to the Big Ten, which has a media agreement with Herbstreit’s employer, ESPN.

Before deciding to change his mind, the No. 2 quarterback in the nation, according to 247Sports, had committed to Georgia football for over seven months.

On Wednesday, National Signing Day, further details about Raiola’s choice became available. After a flip to Nebraska started to get steam, Dylan’s father, Dominic Raiola, told Rivals a tale about how he got a call from ESPN college football expert Kirk Herbstreit.

Despite being a five-star quarterback from Greater Phoenix who originally committed to Ohio State, Herbstreit’s impartial analysis and well-considered comments have propelled him to the pinnacle of his profession as college football’s finest pundit.

Dominic Raiola remarked as much regarding Herbstreit’s influence on his son’s college choice.

I’ll bring up one guys name, his name is Kirk Herbstreit. When he saw the smoke about Dylan entertaining Nebraska, he was like call me, he was like ‘Dude if this is true, he’s gotta do it.”

Since Herbstreit just works for Disney and not a university, this is neither unlawful nor meddling, in my opinion.

Raiola most likely did not flip because of Herbstreit’s call. Donovan Raiola, the brother of Dominic Raiola, who was selected twice for the Big 12 as an All-Big 12 center for the Cornhuskers, is presently Matt Rhule’s offensive line coach.

This new knowledge raises questions, though, because Herbstreit felt a strong connection to Nebraska—enough so that he called Dominic Railoa.
