Frost's buyout gets cut in half (by $7.5M) on October 2nd.

Between now and Oct 2, Nebraska plays North Dakota, Georgia Southern, #9 Oklahoma, and Indiana, all at home. If he goes 4-0, do they fire him? I honestly don't know what Nebraska will do in that event. I guess another question would be when does his buyout go to zero? Is it right after this season or after the start of next season? I have no idea how much the boosters will pony up, but the University itself may be "cost conscious".

No idea, but I will tell you that Indiana is not expected to be that good (nor is Northwestern). Going 3-1 should be table stakes in these next 4. Obviously losses in either of the first 2 would be death sentences, but I'd guess they will win. IMO the real hinge game is Indiana. If they lose to Indiana, and his buyout gets halved the next day, I'd consider that perfect timing for Frost to be tarmac'ed at home.
