CBS Sports: Ranking college football's hot-seat coaches
SCOTT FROST, NEBRASKA
Hot seat level: 5
CBS Sports: "You knew things slid at Nebraska when Frost said his program can be the new Wisconsin in the Big Ten West. What about the old Nebraska? Frost is one of the smartest, most refreshing coaches out there, but the turnaround hasn't happened. It almost hurts. Frost is better than this. Nebraska should be better than this."

EIGHT NEBRASKA FOOTBALL PLAYERS FILE LAWSUIT AGAINST BIG TEN, CONFERENCE SAYS LAWSUIT “HAS NO MERIT” IN STATEMENT
Eight Nebraska football players have officially taken legal action against the Big Ten.
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. “These student athletes have followed all the precautions, underwent regular testing, and lived according to the prescribed guidelines of the world-class experts at UNMC all for the chance to play football in September. On August 11th, six days after announcing the fall football schedule, a decision was made to cancel everything with vague reasoning and no explanation. Our Clients want to know whether there was a vote and the details of any vote, and whether the Big Ten followed its own rules in reaching a decision.
“Sadly, these student athletes have no recourse other than filing a lawsuit against their conference. The Presidents and Chancellors of these Universities have taken inconsistent positions about whether there was a vote, and they have largely failed to explain what positions they took. Our Clients must take their claims to the Courthouse to find the justice and fairness they have been denied.”
The Big Ten responded in a statement by saying that the lawsuit “has no merit,” and that the conference “will defend the decision to protect all student-athletes as we navigate through this global pandemic.”

Nebraska attorney general Doug Peterson questions Big Ten on legality of football postponement
Nebraska attorney general Doug Peterson on Friday sent a letter to Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren questioning whether the league has "operated in compliance with Nebraska law," and requesting all documents and information pertaining to its decision to postpone the 2020 fall sports season.
Peterson, an elected official and 1981 Nebraska graduate, asked for the Big Ten's response by Sept. 21. Peterson alleged in his letter that the Big Ten "appears to be out of compliance with the Nebraska Nonprofit Corporation Act." All nonprofits are expected to register within the states they want to conduct business, but Peterson alleged the Big Ten "is operating and conducting business within the State of Nebraska and/or failing to maintain registration" in the state.
"In order to receive the advantages to operate as a nonprofit organization in Nebraska, it is imperative that the organization operate with complete transparency regarding its decision-making process," Peterson said in a prepared statement. "Nebraskans expect transparency from nonprofits operating in this state, and the Big Ten Conference is no exception."
Out-of-state nonprofit organizations doing business in Nebraska that do not register face enforcement action by the attorney general's office, but the Nebraska Secretary of State is the agency that actually maintains the registrations. The requirements the attorney general's letter laid out go beyond what the Nebraska Secretary of State requires for out-of-state nonprofits. Colleen Byelick, chief deputy and general counsel for the Nebraska Secretary of State, said they have to file an application for a "certificate of authority to transact business," which is a two-page form that asks for basic information such as address, name, date of incorporation and directors and officers, along with a certificate of good standing from the state of incorporation, and a filing fee. Then they are required to update that information every couple years, she said.

Peterson's prompt for transparency also included requests for:
Sources have told ESPN that the Big Ten medical subcommittee is likely to present its updated findings to the presidents and chancellors in the next few days. A revote could be coming early next week. The Big Ten said on Wednesday it will continue to work "to identify opportunities to resume competition as soon as it is safe to do so."
