Penn State's #1 target out. Is it Matt Rhule? I think that's a good bet. Rhule was my #1 hope when Fleck was hired, Fleck was #2 on my list. I think it would be great if Rhule left Nebraska. Hopefully, Fleck wouldn't leave MN for Nebraska. Lol.

Yeah, has to be Rhule now. Even more of a distraction for tomorrow night's game for Nebby. Get'er done, Fleck. No cnance he goes to Nebby. Zero. I think they are better off going after someone like the Memphis HC, but they're probably too proud to do so.

Come on. There's an all-star coach with a national championship down at UCF that makes a lot of sense to me!
 


"i don't know how we're losing all this money"

writes a contract for a fully guaranteed salary that would be top 10 in the NFL despite the fact that that league generates 20x as much money.

How much is the University of Indiana funding the deal as opposed to say, Mark Cuban?

It penn state takes Rhule frost to Nebraska is a natural replacement

Still would come out of the athletic departments budget, with all these schools claiming they’re in debt and can’t handle the revenue sharing with players

Can't Cuban donate to the program for an offset?

Tbh, he could yea but I think it’s the flip.

IU has seen the massive uptick in donations with Cig at the helm and was willing to eat say an annual 5mil increase as they think he directly generates more in donations from multiple big donors (Cuban being one).

That said, the instant he starts losing or if the shine comes off or the donors decide not to dump it in, you’re on the hook for 11.5mil a year and the full of his contract which is a massive part of just how we got into this mess. Just ask Wisconsin or any other team that isn’t a helmet school. Michigan, OSU, USC, Bama, Texas, etc can afford to do this. IU is going to fuck their whole department if this doesn’t work out.

The issue I have is the talking out of both sides of their mouths saying they’re so hamstrung financially they’re charging students $229 to subsidize athletics but then pay exorbitant contract amounts out and can’t figure out why the budget won’t balance
