    FC/OT: Should they eliminate the dunk contest?

    Can we go one better and just eliminate the nba?

    “Big Ten eyes 24-team CFP, no league championship games”

    If the big 10 presidents were smart they would fire tony petitti immediately. Not that it matters, I guess, since “college” football is already cooked.

    FC: AD Financial Report for 2025

    https://gopsusports.com/documents/b009e6a1-3f05-4c45-8ba1-42d5aea1a5c8.pdf It appears for the second time in 3 years the AD may have had record revenue and record expenses and is basically breaking even. Unless Kraft gets a handle on expenses, I am not sure this may be sustainable. Credit to...

    Besides PSU '94 FB, what was or is the greatest College FB team?

    Notre Dame teams from 1946-1949 never lost a game (36-0-02). Imagine being a student who entered as a freshman in 1946 and never saw the team lose in your 4 years there. That’s pretty impressive. Outside of 1994 Psu, the 2 greatest teams I ever watched were the 1989 ND team that had one loss...

    New Coaching Staff

    So 2 people hired for the same job? No wonder Kraft can’t seem to control expenditures in the AD.

    FC: Worse year - 2003 or 2025?

    The 1983 team rallied from an 0-3 start to finish out the season 8-4-1 with an Aloha Bowl victory over Washington. It was arguably one of Paterno’s best coaching jobs in his career. The 1983 team is light years ahead of this current team in terms of character and mental/physical toughness.

    Honor due Joe Paterno 12-21-1926 100 years

    For additional context, please see Barry’s website linked below concerning Lubrano’s comments on a meeting Sue Paterno and Dana Harris (Franco’s widow) had with Bendapudi in May 2024. Sue Paterno asked: “Do you intend to name the field at Beaver Stadium after Joe?” Dr Bendapudi replied, “No.”...

    FC: Trustees increase Penn State president’s total pay by $1M

    That psu is overpaying for a mediocrity like Bendapudi says a lot about psu and none of it is good.

    The Big Ten wants a 24-28 team playoff

    Part of me feels like this is what can happen when your conference commissioner went to Haverford College for undergrad.

    Beaver Stadium reconstruction thread

    I read a post on another board that suggested the stadium renovation is going significantly over budget. Not sure how true it may be, but if it is true, does anyone have concerns about Kraft’s financial acumen to manage such a situation?

    FC: Michigan President Leaving For Florida

    Interesting that they recently extended him. Per the article, “In October, the Board of Regents extended his contract through 2032 and increased his base salary to $1.3 million per year.” Also, not sure if this is much of a step down. While Michigan is always highly regarded, Florida has really...

    FC: Michigan President Leaving For Florida

    Interesting that he is leaving after less than 3 years. Seems like there may be more movement these days among the top tier positions in higher education. https://www.freep.com/story/news/education/2025/05/04/u-m-president-santa-ono-stepping-down/83448289007/
