The best gig in college football might just be
getting fired

Nebraska could have allowed Scott Frost, who once quarterbacked the Cornhuskers to a national championship, to coach through last Saturday’s game against Indiana. Firing him after Oct. 1 would have meant the school was on the hook for a $7.5 million buyout. Instead, Nebraska decided, after a loss to Georgia Southern on Sept. 10, it couldn’t watch Frost for even two more games. So the school will pay him $15 million not to coach — or twice as much as if it had waited a few weeks.
