They paid us $3m to take Frost but we may be saving them $5m. He is due $2.5m each for 2025/2026. If he takes another job Nebraska only has to make up the difference of his guaranteed pay from UCF and $2.5m. I really hope UCF is paying Frost a low salary and making it super incentive-heavy. Something like $1m base, $5m for making the CFP, $10m for winning it. I imagine if we paid him $100k or something that wouldn't be believable and would probably draw lawsuits but I hope we're minimizing the amount we're saving Nebraska as much as possible.
