LINCOLN–(KFOR Aug. 26)–On his radio show Wednesday night, Nebraska athletic director Trev Alberts said that the vaccination rate for the Husker football program has reached 90%. Alberts claims the team’s vaccination rate has improved since his hiring in mid-July.
Alberts adds the Huskers do not have a vaccination mandate for student-athletes at Nebraska. The Big Ten announced this week that teams unable to play due to COVID-19 will be forced to forfeit during the 2021-22 season.
