Even though the Cornhuskers have won only six total Big Ten games in three seasons under his leadership, Nebraska announced Thursday that it will retain Fred Hoiberg for a fourth season as its men’s basketball coach, albeit with a restructured contract that will reduce his salary from $3.5 million to $3.25 million.
If those statements from Alberts and Hoiberg look familiar, that’s because they’re pretty close to identical to the statements that Alberts and Scott Frost released after Nebraska announced in November it would retain Frost as football coach with a restructured contract of his own.
