Scott Frost and the Nebraska football program have been hit with some minor penalties by the NCAA for infractions.

According to the NCAA, the Huskers “violated countable coaches rules.”

From the NCAA:
The university, football head coach and NCAA enforcement staff agreed that a former football special teams analyst provided technical or tactical instruction to student-athletes during practices and film sessions. He also assisted in tactical decisions during games. Because he was a noncoaching staff member, his instruction of student-athletes caused the program to exceed the number of permissible coaches in violation of NCAA rules.
According to the agreement, while the head coach did address concerns about the analyst’s instruction of student-athletes with the analyst directly, he did not appropriately monitor the analyst or notify compliance staff that violations had occurred. As a result, the football head coach violated head coach responsibility rules.
Here is the full punishment:
A one-year extension to the current probationary period (through April 2023).
A $10,000 fine.
A one-year show-cause order for the football head coach, plus a five-day suspension from all coaching duties during the championship segment of the 2022 football season.
A reduction of the number of football countable coaches by one for two days of practice during the spring 2022 season.
All noncoaching staff members will be removed from practice and competition for five consecutive days during the championship segment of the 2022 season.
Nebraska is set to open the 2022 season on Aug. 27 against Northwestern.
