Someone will bring this issue up and it won't be a player.  It will be a reporter.  One of the cons of coming back to Nebraska for Scott will be that he will be under a microscope right away simply because he is one of us.

Just had a thought of one way to handle "things" and make it a positive.  Scott could briefly say something like "I made a bad choice coming out of high school, but I'm thrilled to get the chance to make the right choice today by becoming the Nebraska head coach.  We, as a Husker program can respect the past, but we must focus on the future!"  Toss all that crap under the bus in one quick, positive, looking forward statement.

Can someone give me a quick high-level explanation about the Frost/Lawrence debacle?  It's been discussed a lot about division with the team at the time.  I wasn't old enough to know at the time what was going on and I feel I can get a better unbiased explanation here than looking it up.

LP was suspended for assaulting a former girlfriend during the 1995 season.  The assault took place after the MSU game at the apartment of SF.  So putting 2 and 2 together SF was obviously involved with LP's former girlfriend which is what led to the assault.  The suspension and the subsequent firestorm that reinstating him half a season later caused is to this day a black eye for TO and the 1995 team as a whole.  An aside to this--practices were open to the public up until the national media caught wind of this scandal and began sending reporters to Lincoln.  Practices have not been open to the public since.

I don't know that I can even claim he made a bad choice.  He had a chance to go to one of the best universities in the country and play for one of the best offensive minds of all time.  I'm really not sure what fault I can find in that.  Worked out for everyone in the end.

I like your line of thinking but I don't think there's any reason to bring up anything along those lines.

"The situation" is that Lawrence Phillips egregiously physically assaulted a woman.  Nothing - NOTHING - Scott Frost did warranted that action from Phillips.  There is no locker room code that puts blame on Frost in that instance.  That is 100% on Phillips, period.

Putting any blame on Frost also turns Kate McEwen into property, not a person, property subject to some man code of behavior that she, as a woman, is unable to circumvent.  McEwen has every right to date anyone she wants.  Locker room codes do not apply to her, or to the person she chooses to date.

This is absolutely true, but not the reason Scott was disliked by many of his teammates.  Scott was known for flirting with his teammates' girlfriends.  He was resented for it and dating McEwen only added to the issue.  

At Oregon, Chip Kelly paid a street agent $25K to secure the signature of a recruit.

Yeah, I don't see how Frost going to Stanford can be thought of as a "bad choice" at the time, or even now.  It didn't work out for him, and he transferred to NU, where he enjoyed more success.

Plus he likely would have been 3rd string behind Frazier and Berringer.

Agreed.  I was never upset with his choice of Stanford.  It's his life.  Plus, it was Bill Walsh.....
