A conclusion may be on the horizon for the NCAA’s investigation into Nebraska football. While appearing on his monthly radio show late last month, Athletic Director Trev Alberts said, “I think we’re getting close to the finish line. It won’t be forever, and we’ll get that behind us, and we’ll move forward appropriately.”
It’s believed that the Huskers are under NCAA investigation for the improper use of a special teams analyst during the 2021 season. Jonathan Rutledge was a special teams analyst for NU in 2021 and was not allowed to have on-field contact with players. However, Brett McMurphy of ActionNetwork reports that the school has “significant video footage” showing the then-analyst having on-field contact with players.
Alberts made several points of saying how close a resolution was “I think we’re getting close to the finish line. Again, proud of the team, proud of Coach Frost, proud of the collaboration with the NCAA.” It’s unknown when a resolution might occur or what penalties the Huskers are facing if found in violation of NCAA rules.
