Husker assistant coach Ron Brown at the Omaha City Council, where he spoke out against an anti-bias protections for gays and transgender residents.
UPDATE: "As a gay Christian (that bleeds all things Big Red), and a long time season ticket holder that comes with a $1,000 dollar donation each year, I really felt betrayed by Coach Brown's comments," Omaha attorney John Carroll wrote to NU Athletic Director Tom Osborne.
"I can assure you that Ron's comments are reflective of his own views and do not represent those of the Athletic Department or the University," replied Osborne.
