shoot if your employer or my mine reported to the IRS income that was never received I would be pissed and sue as well.

From my understanding Nebraska apparently reported income would be owed to him for the 2025 and 2026 portions of his buyout as taxable income in 2022. Then, they didn't pay him that income because he got the UCF job. So he paid taxes but never got the money for those 2 years.

You sucked so bad at your Alma Mater, your home state, that your loser *** would go back to get more hazard pay because your sorry *** didn't enough on the exit clause after bleeding your Alma Mater dry?

Damn. Have at it Scott. Ruin anything or possibly anybody that would ever treat you with a kind smile in this state.

NU did wrong by inflating astronomically the W2. Apparently they're not correcting their mistake. I would sue as well. I'm cheering on Scott and hope he does well down in UCF. I hope the naysayers would forgive him as they would desire to be forgiven for their actions.

That boat had likely sailed already anyways. Scott wants his bread lol. Might as well burn that ***** down.

I actually have the ability to separate the two. I still love Scott Frost the player for what he did for Nebraska.

Scott Frost the coach can kick rocks! He sucked and was the worst Nebraska coach I've ever witnessed in my 40+ years of watching them. He was a disgrace and never even put the whole work in to be great. Ill never forgive him (the coach) for that.


Probably sounds crazy but I actually feel that way.

This kind of thing is above my pay grade, but I would sue, too. I have a good friend who is a Nebraska native, born and bred, who is a very successful tax lawyer. I will ask him what he thinks. (He's one of my old Huskers friends that I wrote about earlier this week who no longer shares the love of Husker football.). Back to Scott I could not care less if he finds success at UCF. Good for him if he does. I do think it is interesting that Scott, just like our current coach, can always turn back to that one magical season when all the stars aligned perfectly for their team.

can’t one file an amended return? This is the only avenue? Someone overpays the irs. Someone else makes that whole and the irs over collects?

I feel like when you make that much money you are not using Turbo Tax. :)

I kid, I kid, you are probably right but maybe the issue is that UNL has to file something too?

How would his tax accountant allowed him to pay taxes on income he hadn't yet received? Why wouldn't those taxes be paid in the year the money was received?

Undoubtedly some over promoted accountant or attorney at NU is dragging their heels (probably “working” from home) which necessitated the legal action to get them to fulfill their duties.

Uggggg, I can't tell if you are messing with me or not! Ha

But, 100% if that guy is "working from home" he has already been checked out of Christmas for the last two weeks.

Two weeks? More like 5 years. My wife is in a University dean job. She has some interesting “work from home” stories abut people she supervised (fired) and others applying for jobs. Zoom interviews lol.

Seems like he tried to get Nebraska to adjust the tax form. They wouldn’t. So h e is asking for the income for which he has taxes due on. I bet if NU amends the form, the suit goes away. At least that’s how I read it?
From what I read he is asking for an additional 5 million for emotional damages or some bs. He should get the correct forms and Nebraska should fire the staffer who bungled all this.

We have neighbors down the street who the husband is English and the wife is Australian. This is their second home. He is a retired IT guy and now teaching some business class remotely for Northeastern University in Boston. They did live in Seattle, but last year moved to the wife’s hometown north of Sidney. He only seems to meet with his class once per term and it is usually in Europe. He’s been here when he is suppose to be teaching. I don’t know how hard he has to work because he always seems to be out doing things and not sitting in front of a computer.

The proof is in the pudding as they say. In 8 seasons as a head coach he has 1 of them with a winning record (though went 12-0 which is impressive) His abilities cap out at lower level conference AAC he was terrible vs the Big Ten and the Big 12 competition stomped him this year too.

They are the biggest babies! And all they do is try to convince people how they are MORE productive because they work from home!

Curious which is that one magical season for our current coach?

Obviously, Frost had the one in 2017 where they went 13-0 beating 3 ranked teams in the process.

Which one do you consider to be Rhule's?

If his lawyer is creative, there are several angles he could pursue that could get Nebraska spun up and make it an easy pay day for Frost.

Just like the T Alberts lawsuit that I said would get swept under the carpet, this too, will go away.

He didn't get his bowl game appearance bonus again. So, now he wants to milk even more money from Nebraska.
Hey Scottie, move your Mom to Florida so you never have to come back to this state. Thanks in advance.

So if your lawyer pulled you aside and said you just lost 1.7 million because of a mistake by the accounting department at Nebraska(Nebraska admin is known for being criminally terrible), you would just let it slide because things didn't work out? At least we don't have to worry about Scott coming back to be OC.

If I made as much money as that asshat did to lose at Nebraska, I wouldn't come back for anything.

It is a true show of his character

Of course, we love Scott Frost the player. But it's kind of hard to forgive him for the complete lack of effort in coaching. Anyone on this board, and I mean anyone, should be able to coach NU and get better results than he did. It was a pathetic attempt on his part. It's like he was here just to cash checks. Unforgivable.

It was all the AD's fault.

Being more productive from home is about as big of a con as all the best business gets done on the golf course…
That is such a good comparison!

The work from homers would have believe that because they work from home they are doing MORE for the company. Stop, just stop it.

I worked from home for two month when covid was a thing and I can tell you that I was not "more productive". I sure as heck did more for myself, that much is true!

The golf course part is the same. Look, if you are golfing for business, that "deal" was already closed because you needed to be on the golf course.
