Lawsuit Filed Against Nebraska Regents by Former Head Football Coach Scott Frost
Scott Frost alleges Nebraska stopped contract payments for 2025-26, causing $1.7 million in phantom income tax liability and seeks over $5 million in damages.
- On Friday, Scott Frost filed a lawsuit in Lancaster County District Court accusing the University of Nebraska of breach of contract and seeking at least $5 million in damages.
- A tax-form entry of future payments produced roughly $1.7 million in tax liability for Scott Frost for income he says he never received, related to the present value of 2025 and 2026 liquidated damages through Dec. 31, 2026.
- Frost's filing notes the buyout totaled roughly $15 million and contends payments were guaranteed, with an offset provision expiring Dec. 31, 2024.
- Frost says he did not receive the disputed tax document until September 2023, causing late‑filing penalties, legal expenses and an IRS audit.
- A future court date has not been set as the case proceeds in Lancaster County District Court, with Scott Frost pursuing the suit while serving as UCF's head coach after his 2024 rehiring.
