What a strange scene it was after practice as Frost and athletic director Trev Alberts, on the job for less than one month, emerged, unannounced, from a door on the second-level concourse at Memorial Stadium.
In a show of unity to address the morning report by the Action Network’s Brett McMurphy of an NCAA investigation into Frost and the football program over possible improper use of analysts and consultants, Frost and Alberts appeared for five minutes before a throng of media gathered to hear from players and other coaches.
It was, in a word, awkward, one of those unforgettable moments that can largely define a failed regime.
Most importantly, the report was true, Alberts said. Nebraska is complying with the NCAA. Coaches have been accessible and collaborative with investigators, Alberts said, and will “continue to do whatever the NCAA has asked us to do.”
Alberts said the investigation predates his July hire and that he learned of it after he started — which means that University of Nebraska-Lincoln chancellor Ronnie Green and Nebraska system president Ted Carter either didn’t know of the investigation last month, or they didn’t tell Alberts.
Either way, that’s … awkward. Again.
McMurphy also reported that Nebraska violated rules by holding off-campus workouts under the direction of strength and conditioning staff last year during the pandemic shutdown of team activities. And he reported that Frost and former chief of staff Gerrod Lambrecht, without approval from then-AD Bill Moos, led the efforts to replace Oklahoma on the Huskers’ September schedule.
