LINCOLN, Neb. (KMTV) — Nebraska athletic director Trev Alberts announced the new salary and buyout of Huskers head football coach Scott Frost’s restructured contract on Monday during his appearance on Sports Nightly.

Frost will now be paid $4 million in 2022 as opposed to $5 million. His buyout will now also go down from $15 million to $7.5 million.

“I think those are two really important indicators about Scott’s commitment,” Alberts said on Monday night. “He’s talked an awful lot about how important this is to him. And in a way, Scott’s bet on himself. And I like that, and I think that’s pretty cool.”

Alberts announced Frost would return for a 5th season earlier on Monday.

A few hours after that, Frost announced he was firing four assistant coaches.
