If you ain’t cheating, you ain’t trying. Well, the Cornhuskers tried it and still failed to produce good results.
Nebraska coach Scott Frost has received a one-year show-cause order and five-day planned suspension after breaking rules for countable coaches, the NCAA announced Monday.
The NCAA announced its findings “after Nebraska agreed to the Level II violations and penalties as part of a negotiated resolution. The school acknowledges that in 2020, former special teams analyst Jonathan Rutledge coached Nebraska players during practices and film sessions and also helped with in-game coaching decisions, which violates NCAA rules for noncoaching staff members,” ESPN wrote.
NCAA football coaches are limited to 10 assistants, as well as multiple analysts.
“We have had an outstanding collaboration with the NCAA, and I want to thank the NCAA staff for their time and professionalism throughout this process,” Nebraska athletic director Trev Alberts said in a statement. “It is important for the Nebraska athletic department and football program to put this matter behind us and turn our full attention to the upcoming season. We are pleased with the outcome and believe the negotiated resolution is fair and equitable.”
Frost was hit with a Level II punishment for being aware of the violation and not acting, and his suspension will take place at some point during the fall football season.
Fans took to social media and roasted him and the program for cheating getting caught, and still only winning 3 games during the 2020 season.
