Steven M. Sipple: Klieman to be rewarded for 8-win seasons at KSU. Could that fly for Frost?

You may have noticed Kansas State agreed to a new contract with Chris Klieman that will pay the football coach $23.5 million and last until 2026.

The news set off my imagination.

One of the performance-based incentives in Klieman's deal especially grabbed my attention: According to Kansas.com, he'll receive a one-year extension every time the Wildcats win eight games and play in a bowl game between now and 2023. Because K-State will only play 10 games this season, Klieman can also trigger that bonus by winning six games and reaching the postseason.

How would Nebraska fans react if athletic director Bill Moos handed Scott Frost a one-year extension every time the Huskers won eight games and played in a bowl game between now and 2023?
