Frost Fired!

I mean it seems pretty clear that the university believes that he is not owed.

They are not saying that at all. They are saying it was not served correctly. Trying to get relief on a technicality. If they thought it was owed, they would asked for an outright dismissal.

Or this is simply the path of least resistance. Trying to prove validity means they have to go to court, this filing is a way to prevent even getting to that point. Most times the goal is to avoid having to go to trial.
 
Ever drive by big houses in your town or city or neighborhood and wonder how they can pay for it?
Because there are judges, lawyers, clerks, and litigation.
The university could write a check. Frost could just f’ing drop it. But both sides have lawyers. And lawyers tell both sides they should fight it and, maybe kinda sorta could or should win.

The judge will grant motions written by the lawyers @ $300/hr and the clerk will receive them, given off to the judge. The judge will review the case and set a date 15-18 months from now, at which point the clerks will write up a review to the judge and advise them on course of action.
Over the next 15-18 months the lawyers will will write drafts, confer with their claimant, have a status conference or two, enter new evidence….all at $300-500 an hour.

Etc etc etc. until they reach an agreement, which will be that one party will save face and someone will pay out a little. That’s how they afford those houses.
 
I wonder if this situation played a part in Trev deciding to jump ship to A&M? Trev was pretty outspoken when announcing Frost's dismissal that the contract would be paid in full, Nebraskans honor their word, etc. In leaving, reports were that he was frustrated by others in the Administration and/or Board of Regents. If they were playing these kinds of games behind the scenes, I could better understand why an AD would be frustrated.

IMO, the University should resolve this ASAP and not play games with the taxes or trying to find loopholes on this one. The longer this goes, the more money will be spent and the darker the cloud.

I don’t know, but I think it had zero impact on Trev. At the end of day A$M is a bigger and more prestigious job. Just the way it is.
