I think Frank is doing it to get a commitment to the program more than his own bank account.
Remember, Frank was here when Weiser was giving himself 500k loans and Krause was giving Prince whatever millions he ends up with, he may not have a lot of sympathy for the "We will pay what we can, we are a unique situation" routine.
I am actually encouraged that Frank has said and done (Jmart leak) what he has. If he wanted out, he could just ride out this year and then go somewhere else at the end of the season (any ACC, BE or SEC job that has an AD that needs to win, DePaul would be a good fit, wouldn't it?
