The NCAA announced Monday that it had levied sanctions against the Nebraska football program for a violation of the governing body’s rules for countable coaches, which included specific penalties for head coach Scott Frost.
In the release, the NCAA’s Committee on Infractions said that a former football special teams analyst was found to have provided “technical or tactical instruction” to players during film and practice sessions and offered tactical advice during games. As a non-coaching staff member, this put Nebraska above the limit for permissible coaches, thus violating the NCAA’s rule.
The following Level II penalties were imposed on Frost and the Nebraska football program:
- A one-year extension to the current probationary period (through April 2023)
- A $10,000 fine.
