Attorney says in court papers that ex-Nebraska assistant Chuck Love admitted having sex with player
Former Nebraska women's basketball assistant Chuck Love admitted in a deposition having a sexual relationship with player Ashley Scoggin, contradicting his earlier denial, according to court filings tied to a civil lawsuit. Scoggin alleges her civil rights were violated and claims she faced retaliation, while university officials are accused of failing to prevent staff-athlete relationships. Love initially denied the claims, and university defendants said they lacked sufficient information to confirm or deny the relationship. Scoggin was dismissed from the team in 2022, the same day Love was suspended; he resigned months later.
