Nebraska football coach Scott Frost received a one-year show cause penalty from the NCAA and a five-day suspension from all coaching duties during the upcoming football season, and the school was fined $10,000.
Nebraska violated NCAA rules for countable coaches, and Frost violated head coach responsibility rules, according to the Division I Committee on Infractions.
On Aug. 18, 2021, Action Network first reported Nebraska was under NCAA investigation for improper use of analysts and consultants. The next day, Nebraska AD Trev Alberts confirmed the NCAA's investigation.
