Donor's Remorse? The Tombros' recent $26 Million donation....

[BW Lion]

is almost exactly the amount of guaranteed compensation due Franklin after this season.

Only a regular genius would negotiate a contract like this on behalf of PSU with almost no monetarily-impactful at-risk incentive compensation. Franklin could theoretically go 0-48 over the next 4 seasons and collect $26.5 million+ in the process.

YEAR / SALARY / RET. BONUS / TOTAL ($MM)

2022 $5.75 / $0.5 / $6.25

2023 $6.00 / $0.5 / $6.50

2024 $6.25 / $0.5 / $6.75

2025 $6.50 / $0.5 / $7.00

TOTAL: $24.5 / $2.0 / $26.5

I mean, even if you want Franklin to leave this is hitting below the belt for an extremely generous gift to Penn State.

Willard Preacher on!

Won't help. The gift:

a. is in the form of an endowment, the corpus of which can't be touched;

b. is for purposes other than football; and

c. likely will be paid in over five years.

Nice try.

To demonstrate how badly PSU is getting ripped-off by James Fraudklin, here are the annual guaranteed payments due Lance Liepold at Kansas, a far superior coach with a demonstrated record of achievement.

2022: $2.4 MM

2023: $2.6 MM

2024: $2.9 MM

2025: $3.1 MM

2026: $3.3 MM

Kansas is 1-6 with their lone victory being a 3 point nail biter over South Dakota.

Fortunately the major donors at Penn State are a lot more patient than the message board posters. They didn’t get their money by over reacting to every negative event they ever encountered in their lives.

Willard Preacher on!

How many Willard Preachers have there been and are the steps still considered a prime evangelical sermonizing site?

The guy who occupied the steps most every day in the 1980's was obnoxious, had bad breath, but drew a crowd.

Don't think so, but you can look it up.

Not in this case.

 

[KnightWhoSaysNit]

I would have loved that kind of non-performance guarantee when I was employed in the private sector.

Guess it really pays to work for a nice gal like Sandy, an expert in handing out other people's money. She should run for Congress.

I belong to the new site, but I see things aren’t much different over here. Same trolls and haters. It’s like they feel like someone is taking food out of their mouths. Cry babies and whiners, no life dolts with nothing better to do than complain.

Your premis of 0-48 holds true for any long term contract.
Welcome to the world of free agency and television money.
Any coaching hire would have some guarantee of money and buy out.
Linking contract to donation is ludicrous as there is no connection.
Most gifts are issue oriented scholarship
Facilities etc.

You think 26.5M is bad? Just look at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
They gave Tom Brady $50 Million guaranteed over 2 years. FIFTY! The Bucs could theoretically go 0-34 and Brady would collect $50M in the process! FIFTY!
