Nebraska athletic director Trev Alberts confirmed the NCAA is investigating the Husker football program. A report says the Huskers improperly used analysts and consultants and moved workouts off campus when such activities were banned during the pandemic.

Alberts says Nebraska is cooperating with the investigation.

Husker coach Scott Frost was asked about the report of illegal workouts.

Frost does not believe it will be a distraction for the players. The Huskers open the season August 28th at Illinois.
