Report: Nebraska, Frost under investigation for NCAA Violations | KLIN

Nebraska football just can’t have a quiet offseason.

According to Brett McMurphy of The Action Network, the Husker football program and head coach Scott Frost are under NCAA investigation for improper use of analysts and consultants. The improper use stems from allegations that Nebraska moved workouts “to an undisclosed off-campus location” last year when the NCAA had shut down all workouts due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

McMurphy points out that both Jonathan Rutledge and chief of staff Gerrod Lambrecht left the program in the past eight months, but it is unknown if those decisions were related to the investigation.

One possible penalty would be the suspension of Frost for an unknown number of games. The Huskers open the season at Illinois on August 28.

Also in the report is more information on the Oklahoma scheduling debacle that dominated headlines earlier this year. McMurphy names Frost and Lambrecht as “key proponents” of NU trying to get out of the game, which is contrary to the popular belief of former Nebraska Athletic Director Bill Moos being the one leading that charge. Moos abruptly retired this summer.

Replacing Moos was Trev Alberts. This will be the first incident for Alberts to handle at the head of the Nebraska Athletic Department, with how the allegations are handled internally being even more important than what the NCAA ultimately concludes.
