If he was fired for cause it would be unusual to pay. If he was fired without cause he would be owed remuneration.

There are plenty of folks on this board who like to tie Athletics to academics and research. The average fan, the bandwagon fan, and the casual observer does not care at all about the academics and research. I would guess even most true fanatics care little about the academics. I've used the...

I think its largely a factor of the chaos of today's college football realignment. NMSU was always about UNM. I think Idaho struggled for years to meet the old NCAA DI/FBS attendance requirements. Conferences like the MWC now need to buttress against future defections and loss of standing...

Pencil in Tim Polasek at Colorado State for now.

Fitz has been "vindicated" to an extent but does Michigan State go anywhere near him due to its recent history? I would think that Wisconsin only bites the bullet on Fickell if they have an agreement in principal with the guy they want. Could be a guy Fitz. Your question is spot on: Do they...

I'm not saying that stadium size isn't at least a corollary to the ranking of a coaching job, but I think you're placing way too much emphasis on it. If I were a P4 coach in 2025 I wouldn't be thinking much about a stadium - I'd be thinking about 1. Salary; 2. NIL; 3. NIL; 4. NIL; 5. Salary; 6...

Whats stadium size have to do with it?

The first is a good question. I don't know or remember if the Montanas would have been involved. The unconnected chatter and speculation always seems to float the idea of xDSU and Montanas to the MWC. I would assume that NDSU, with its open desire and lobbying for an FBS invite, is...

There are solid reports that xDSUs were getting an invite from the Mountain West within the last year to backfill the PAC departures. The MWC was going up fund the transition fee and provide an initial athletic department bump. But the plan was derailed when UNLV and AF decided to stay put...

Summit might need Augie. There will only be 8 teams left and Oral Roberts has left before. There aren't a lot of options out there for the Summit. If SDSU and NDSU end up in the Mountson West, Summit League is dead.

A few. Most realize steel sharpens steel.

They tried. Summit rejected so they added hockey as a result. I haven't seen or heard any conversations about Mankato since just subsequent to USD and UND making the move 15 or so years ago. MSU brought in the consultants, who are usually paid to tell the institution that it's feasible, and...

Yes to the first question. Is my memory faulty? Didn't PJ have unused assistant funds a few years ago?

I think he'd be worth a flyer. I would be surprised if when the music stops, he's not sitting in an FBS chair this time next year. He's not likely to end up in a P4 job, but keep an eye on top G6 jobs. Colorado State comes to mind as a job that's his if he wants it but its been a tough place to...

Agreed, but I think that's where, with all the openings, an AD that's swung and missed on his top 12 or 13 candidates might reach for PJ. The question that would arise is probably one of how much more money would it take for PJ to agree to give up some control of the team to the AD (i.e...

I'm still waiting for the Wyoming look: WMY.

Some time ago I read that FF has almost non-existent unemployment its employers were drawing from a huge geographic area. It was only a matter of time before housing corrections resulted in growth. Combined with a very desirable lakes area and remote work, its not hard to imagine young...

The district boundaries don't stop at city limits.

There's no way of ever know but it's possible that the FCS is just what some players need to develop their talent.

I don't have an issue in principal. These just aren't done well.
