Scott Frost’s arrival on the conference scene was a frequent topic of conversation at the Big Ten football media day on Monday.

The 43-year-old Frost is home again after a successful run with Central Florida, returning to Lincoln in December after coaching the Knights to a 13-0 record last season.

Scott Frost talks to Tom Osborne almost every week and told the gathered media that the former coach’s ideas are still important.

“Coach Osborne had the formula that Nebraska figured out,” Frost said. “Some of the things he did to make the program arguably the best in the country can still work today.

Nebraska has just gone away from them. We’re going to adopt a lot of things again and do it in a modern way and do it in a way that recruits and kids are going to want to be a part of.”

It’s a high-stakes move for Frost, Nebraska and the Big Ten, which could use a healthy Cornhuskers program to help balance the conference’s West Division with its powerhouse schools in the East.
