@FootballScoop: Believe him or not, White has told people in the profession (per sources) he expects Frost to stay at UCF as well… #ADScoop
Local media in Orlando is very biased for that but there is significant expectation he might want to build the program and get it into a Power 5 conference.
2 major impediments:
1. The fan base is weak. Students and others tailgate for hours outside the stadium but many retreat to watch home games on TV. The tailgate tradition is often stronger than the games themselves.
2. Their stadium holds just 45k and is regularly 2/3rds or 1/2 full even this season. Furthermore, it’s only 10 years old and has significant issues due to poor construction and materials. UCF has filed a $10-15m lawsuit naming everyone who had anything to do with designing and building it.
I’m curious about the money. UCF has an excellent computer science and engineering program and some newly minted rich alumni that are taking interest. If serious support emerges for this dynamic young coach, he could stay indefinitely. I’m talking facilites improvements along with his compensation. He’s happy, so if the support is there he may well stay.
Nebraska seems so remote and misplaced in the Big Ten.
