    Penn State Men's Basketball.....

    In this age of college athletics every sport needs a deep pocket partner for NIL that cares about success. Our wrestlers have that, our hockey team has that, our football team obviously has numerous partners. Basketball does not. Although the Athletic Department has attempted to raise the...

    One thing not being discussed is that fan interest is waning in this new professional model.

    Mixed bag overall, more parity great, becoming a big money sponsor game not so great, transfer portal needs some guardrails, NIL gets players a bigger spendable share of the pie, fair enough.... The issue that I see somewhat similar to MLB is no salary / NIL cap and undefined labor practices...

    Anyone else happy for Indiana?

    On the other hand when was the last time anybody beat Alabama that badly? Having Indiana become a football power sucks. We now need to climb over Ohio State, Oregon, Michigan, USC, and Indiana... We are in the second tier with Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois in football now. I'm hopeful CMC can get...

    I don’t see how Kraft survives this….

    Ding Ding Ding we have a winner! Spot on... PSU needs to completely overhaul its image and approach to keep up. Unfortunately the school will always be in a location that does not appeal to everyone.

    How to clean up Krafty’s mess poll

    This is the paradox I see for many fans (including myself)... Are we willing to truly suck for a season or two to wait for the coach that gives us the highest CHANCE to win a national championship (honestly I'd take winning the Big Ten outright as good enough) or do we need someone that will...

    How to clean up Krafty’s mess poll

    "VT will always be VT and PSU will always be PSU"... That is what Nebraska thought when they turned on Solich and then ran Pellini out of town after consistent 9+ win seasons.... In this era of minor league football the past is truly the past. Anybody who can show the money will succeed. After...

    Official Athletic Director Search Thread

    Neither did Cignetti and he took the best players with him to Indiana and left Chesney nothing and he has gone 20-5! Chesney was THE hire but Kraft was to much of an idiot to see it. When UCLA kicks our a$$ over the next decade it will be clear Kraft screwed this up. EPIC FAIL.

    I am going to say it.....

    Yep. And there are others who also wanted Chesney. I actually would have liked DeBoer but that was never really in the cards. Chesney is the rising star. Sitake will be 8-4 in perpetuity in the Big Ten. We may as well have gone after Farentz or stuck with Franklin. National championship with...

    I'm sure he'll be great in front of the big money donors! This is a nightmare. Wow.

    I am going to say it.....

    Actually I hope he makes me out to be the fool but there is no way you make the comments he did at the time Franklin was fired and end with Sitake. No way. Meanwhile Chesney just took the scraps left behind by Cignetti and went 20-5 and the case against him is he might not be able to handle the...

    I am going to say it.....

    Chesney was the guy but Kraft wiffed. Now going with a guy who has never recruited east of the Rockies. Epic Fail!!

    I am going to say it.....

    Chesney is now at UCLA. Kraft will eat that one for years! UCLA will be ahead of us as well.

    I am going to say it.....

    Wow! And what in Kraft's past shows he has the ability to get this hire right?
  14. B

    I am going to say it.....

    Sorry. I hope you're right but I think you are giving him way too much benefit of the doubt. There are only so many viable candidates and they are now gone. He will be forced to beg Smith to stay on short term deal that gives him more runway which Smith will tell him to shove it. The fact that...

    More Inside Skinny

    Awesome. In all seriousness, best news I've heard all day. This dude is Franklin 2.0. Better candidates... And please no Brent Key. Jeez.
