In a 13-page lawsuit filed Thursday in the Lancaster County (Neb.) District Court by attorney Mike Flood, Nebraska football players Garrett Snodgrass, Garrett Nelson, Ethan Piper, Noa Pola-Gates, Alante Brown, Brant Banks, Brig Banks and Jackson Hannah called for the court to “declare invalid the Big Ten's purported decision to cancel the 2020 fall Big Ten football season,” to “award temporary and permanent injunctive relief, including an Order enjoining the Big Ten from implementing and enforcing its decision,” and to “award nominal damages for breach of contract and tortious interference.”
“This lawsuit isn't about money or damages, it's about real-life relief,” Flood wrote in a letter accompanying the lawsuit.
