Whoever Scott wants.

Yep.  Probably be part of the deal.  I read that Scott likes the guys he's working with.  He'll want to bring them

Yes, they were only talking about football players.  From what I gather, it was all football players not just scholarship football players.  The University of Texas did a study that concluded their 85 scholarship football players had a fair market value of over $670,000 per year. 

 

Yes, the money would have to be spread to all scholarship athletes both male and female.  However, one must really look at everything.  John Cook signed a contract a year ago making him Nebraska's highest paid women's coach.  His base salary is $600,000.  We are potentially looking at paying a football coach nearly 10 times that amount.  The B1G invited us into their conference because of football.  Football is where the money is at.  The colleges make up the NCAA, and the NCAA makes up the rules.  They don't want those risking their health and life to share in the riches.  They want to keep all the money and then use it to buy the best coach.   

 

I don't know much about how much money high school football coaches get paid.  I highly doubt there's a huge pay difference between coach A who's won five state titles and coach B who has yet to win a state title.  High school football and college football are similar in that they both involve amateur athletes.  Yet, there's also a huge difference.  Some college football coaches are paid more than the highest paid NFL coach who coaches paid professional athletes.  Personally, I think it's wrong for colleges to use the NCAA as a shield for their agenda.  John Cook is as good as any coach in their respective sport, yet he makes a fraction of what the top college football coaches and men's basketball coaches make.  By properly compensating college athletes for what they bring into the school, it might just make the playing field a little more level.

Seems like a topic for another thread.

I am still trying to figure out why the hell I keep coming to this thread. I think if we all look ourselves in the mirror we know damn well we will not find out anything official until Dec. 2nd at the earliest. Yet here I am, refreshing the thread like I am going to see some piece of information that confirms Frost to Nebraska.

I'm glad I'm not the only one!

Here's their board.  One of them at least.  They are discussing this, of course.  At least some of them don't seem to care for Nebraska, which is putting it mildly.  Instead of cornhuskers, they're calling us "cornholers."  

I'm telling.

Just curious, has Moos made any statement about the men's basketball team? A legacy that has dipped well below mediocrity basically forever? 

We have a basketball team?

It's going to be North of 4 million.

 

His pool of money for his assistants will be large, to say the least.

Seems fair.  Mike Riley is getting $ 2.9M

I think it's pretty telling that NU has reached out to UCF to express an interest in Frost when:

a) Riley is still here

b) No statement by Moos saying Riley will be terminated

 

NU would not have leaked this interest if Frost has not agreed in part to come to NU.  If it was a shot in the dark and not rounds on steel, the info wouldn't have leaked.  If Frost and NU  haven't agreed, then our "next" guy is the second choice or worse.  With the season NU has had, the rumors about the team/staff BS, no way NU could handle (or Moos) the PR nightmare tha would start with Cally search 2.0.....Moos comments earlier abaout Frost, the rumored contact etc, IMHO, point to Frost being the next HC at NU....

 

If he is not, a lot of folks have been fooled and even more will be disappointed.  With possibly the worst season since 1961 a real possibility, the hiring of Frost would rejuvenate the fan base, the team, put NU in the national spotlight in a positive manner and jump start our downward spiraling recruiting.....

 very good reasoning.

I have a question.  Scott Frost is currently being paid $1.7M annually.  I googled it.  What do you suppose we will offer to pull him back home?

#1 thing I want to hear is that meeting with players went well and they like him, or at least giving him a chance.
