    FC: AD Financial Report for 2025

    By looking at the table, only Men's Basketball and Football make a profit covering ALL other sports. Men's basketball I think goes back and forth on profitability. So we should get rid of everything but Football.

    Hollow MNC

    Not really sure they are getting paid via NIL. Schools are paying them. Name, Image and Likeness was to allow the players to cash in via (in my opinion) endorsements they were able to get from businesses. I do not believe what is going on now is what the intent was. They are being paid to...

    Indiana spent less than PSU on NIL.

    FC/OT: NCAA wants kids in college forever it seems…

    So, if a kid goes into the military first and enters college at 23-24 years old, they should be penalized for their choice even though they have all their eligibility.

    FC/OT: Apparently, Ole Miss NIL contracts were leaked…

    Problem is this isn't what NIL was supposed to be. This is now a minor league system for the NFL. Teams weren't supposed to just be giving money to players. NIL - Name, Image and Likeness - was supposed to allow players to go out and obtain endorsements from businesses. Essentially now teams...

    '25 (in-season) - '26 CFB Portal Thread

    Just because they are in the portal, it doesn't mean they are gone. They can always come back.

    Tengwall on Becht: "A step up from Allar and Grunkmeyer"

    Does anyone think Terry Smith and Matt Campbell have not sat down with Grunk and his family and had a conversation with them to get a feel for what they are thinking? The practices between now and the bowl game is Campbell's evaluation period. He is getting all his coaches in place, and they...

    FC/OT: ND Finally Learning a Hard Lesson.

    Anytime there is a selection committee, it is going to be subjective. Alabama being in over ND is where the complaint should be. I know their 3rd loss was in the SEC Championship Game, and it isn't supposed to be held against them, but they played awful. Play a close hard-fought game and lose...

    POLL: Where are you with the coaching search and general state of PSU football?

    Think I am at that point of not caring. At this rate, anyone they bring in, we are going to be like who the hell is that.

    This is what needs to happen, right now:

    Looks like Hartline will be off the table. He looks to be headed to USF.

    This is what needs to happen, right now:

    Hartline isn't coming until OSU's playoff run is done. If he is the choice, the recruiting class is shot as is any hopes of getting transfers, we will be playing next season with less players than Bill O'Brien had when he was under the sanctions.

    This is what needs to happen, right now:

    This is worse because it is self-inflicted. Recruits are signing everywhere except here. Recruiting class was Top 10 and is now 128th, 4 kids are still "verbally committed" but 3 are PA kids, probably dreamed of playing for PSU. If anyone thinks that this isn't going to lead to 2-3 down years...

    State College Help

    My daughter is a Sophomore at Towson University studying Forensic Chemistry. She wanted to go to West Virginia but the difference in cost is how she ended up at Towson. The more she did her research though, she found that Towson has a good program as well. I wouldn't let her apply to PSU for...

    Who are "WE"?

    I graduated in 1995 and refused to let my daughter apply even though they have a good Forensic Science program. For me it started when the school created not one, but three scholarships in George Floyd's name. I understood what their intent was, but there had to be a better person that they...
