That's Flo's estimate, with no insight toward the current negotiations.
That's what I said.
Before reading the article, I interpreted "Flo says" = they're reporting it as fact.That's what I said.
to be honest I never really got enmeshed in the article.........
This is an interesting question to me. On one hand Cael and PSU are the top coach and program. On the other, it's still a non-revenue sport. Cael can't point to ticket or TV revenue to say "look at what I bring the university" in easy to count $s.
You have it all wrong....they are going to be paid six figure salaries from the slush fund! All of these champions are a drain on resources!!Pardon for speaking a little Chinese here, but Cael can point to transcripts and trophies and say "look at the student-athletes I bring to the university."
Yeah, I know, that doesn't exactly have any tangible financials . . . unless, perhaps, wrestling graduates would be willing to disclose their post-PSU financials, thus shedding some light on their future "donor potential". Would be tough at this stage, though, as all the data would be <10 yrs old post-graduation.

Speaking of the slush fund . . . I have been meaning to tell you guys that I wish you had a different nickname for it.
Why, you should run with it and claim you "head" up the Penn State Wrestling Slush Fund.Speaking of the slush fund . . . I have been meaning to tell you guys that I wish you had a different nickname for it.

I stopped reading at the word "administerial"
Then I started reading again hoping it would get better. Only to find he decided to paint himself in a corner, declaring Basketball as the second in ticket sales with wrestling not far behind in 3rd.
And THEN found a graph showing Hockey more than double BBall ticket sales....and called it "worth mentioning"
(face palm)

Clearly someone has been making up words that get snuck into the dictionary when I'm sleeping. Or drinking.

I remember seeing, on this list, links to articles saying: in the past N years, these following schools have earned the most national championships across all sports. And Penn State was high on that list, maybe even at the top. Those national championships seem very valuable to me. If I owned a university, I'd pay a lot for them.Wrestling will never be a revenue sport, at any school. Cael's is worth whatever the university thinks being the best program in the country is worth. The question the university has to ask is do they want to continue to dominate the sport? If so, you make sure Cael does not leave.
Me too! Also, why use 'Resiliency' when one can probably just use 'the will to endeavor to persevere' ?!? Kids today are neglecting the classics. Don't reinvent the wheel, yo!Haha, I feel ya. 'Resiliency' used to always do that to me, I was like, 'resilience is a word, why add the y?' ...
That's a perfectly cromulent word.
As such, it was hidden by a Cromulen cloaking device, hence the initial confusion. Also, isn't "administerial" actually contra-cromulent?That's a perfectly cromulent word.

Ira, Joyner, Martin, Lynch, Elinisky, Bevilicqua are just a couple who immediately come to mind. There is a pretty strong track record indicating Penn State wrestling graduates do well professionally and reward their alma mater.Pardon for speaking a little Chinese here, but Cael can point to transcripts and trophies and say "look at the student-athletes I bring to the university."

If we get rid of them, who's gonna read Spyker's emails to Cael?Get Cael what he wants and
eliminate some 10-15 Asst ADs.
If we get rid of all of those assistant ADs who will Sandy send to all of those weekly presentations all of the coaches are now required to give.Get Cael what he wants and
eliminate some 10-15 Asst ADs.
