Just keep in mind that Indiana Fats and Ms. Excellence created the situations in which Drs. Bendapudi and Kraft find themselves today. That's not to say that the incumbents aren't capable of making the holes larger, but I'd like to hope not.

And forget the portal...what portal kid is going to want to go to ND without getting paid...
Not your best.
Going anyway? So that’s why he 1. Brought up the lack of NIL, 2. Worked to address the issue and, 3. Participated upon a conference call?
Krafts lack of work and attention to the issues hadd nothing to do with it?
OK
BTW, how soon do you think ND will address their NIL shortcomings? Faster than PSU? Well, Of course they will do that, it’s a low bar to cross.
I agree I think he was going no matter what, he is an Indiana guy and I believe it has always been his dream to coach at ND and it was offered to him. Yes he most likely will be in a similar dilemma at ND as he was at PSU regarding NIL.
Unlike Dear Old State ND does not move at a glacial pace.
First step in ND addressing NIL is for Father Joyce and AD Swarbrick to come to the conclusion that it's not the Antichrist. Then they'll have to replace the organization that's running it for their basketball programs with one that's not using it to subsidize Rutgers NIL. PSU is already way ahead.
You can't possibly be this dumb in real life - cross checked, SMH
That's false equivalence Bob. The notion of "us" doesn't really apply anymore. Is us supposed to be Nittany Nation? That's just just some marketing ********. The day where any of these people represent more than themselves are gone. Gotta catch up bud
You can read Nate Bauer's article:
PSU Basketball NIL Post-mortem
Section captioned "Penn State NIL needs and timeline", last paragraph, butthead.
Sarcasm?
.
Way ahead?
PSU has no coach, not enuf players left to field a team, documented chaos in NIL administration/management, and part of their NCAA NIL $ pledges lost since they were tied to keeping Coach Shrew. PSU is a dumpster fire, having burnt thru the goodwill from the NCAA appearance. ND? Filled with the hope a new coach who was successful brings to a program.
Time will tell though, which of us is correct.

I saw it.
I don’t think many D1 programs are any different than ND regarding their stance on players as employees. They all would like Congress to step in and save them from the horror to come. I don’t think that will happen.
Thing is ND will adapt and do whatever they have to do to compete. If not, they are no longer the imaginary indispensable “college” power, and they lose their subway alumni. It’s that “alumni” that makes them special and pays the bills that keeps them an upper echelon academic institution. They built Notre Dame, or paid for it.
No.
You need a commitment and honesty. What you have now have are lies and waffling support.
Coach Shrew knew that. Any Coach worth his salt will know that.
Being able to hire and retain good coaches begins with a competent AD backed by the administration commitment to compete, whatever it takes. I seriously question that Penn State has that.
What do I want? I would settle for honesty and a clear direction for the program. If that means there will be no commitment to pay coaches a market salary seen at the likes of Illinois, Nebraska, Pitt, etc., a limited policy on NIL, and few resources spent on basketball facilities and marketing, I am ok with that. I’ll adjust my expectations. Just don’t lie and expect me to buy the bs.
I also understand that will mean you hire guys who will be gone when they manage to somehow achieve success, or hiring guys willing to ride out their coaching careers and picking up a paycheck with no burden from high expectations.

My opinion.If nobody donated and instead the president, AD and various Head Coaches spent a few minutes each day screaming to the media and if the did it collectively in a conference, a small portion of the broadcasting revenue would be used to accomplish this.A complete disorganized mess.

Even though this is all evolving by the second, and I'd like to think everyone has best intentions, especially those directly those involved with the University and former players, there has to be a single voice and message.If we're talking about paying players (beyond NIL) then Jay is full of

My sense is that Director Kraft doesn't have NIL fixed yet. He has work to do. Hope that Kerry Small can be a major asset.
“Toss one 19 year old Hispanic prostitute off of a bridge and they never let you forget it.”
I am going to confession now.
Well, they haven’t adapted to date in either football or basketball, so how are you so certain they will adapt going forward? Heck, you just had the President and AD of ND publish an op-Ed in the New York Times denouncing — no, adamantly denouncing — where college sports is today with regard to NIL. That’s like the equivalent of the Jerry Maguire “we should have less clients” memo. I’m not so confident in ND’s ability to adapt quickly to anything which is happening in college athletics today. You may be right, but from what I’ve seen, the signs aren’t there.
So now the narrative is that Shrewsberry left because of NIL? What happened to the idea that ND was his dream job?
It’s probably both, but the narrative has always been that NIL was a clusterfuck at PSU and Shrews let them know early on and nothing changed until it was too late.
NIL issues were always part of the reason we lost Shrewsbury. I was reading about these issues even before March Madness. The $$$ simply is not there and PSU is falling behind most other schools. It doesn't surprise me at all. Ever since NIL was implemented I knew this would be an issue in Happy Valley. Anytime something needs done, be it to raise money or upgrade facilities we just seem to be dysfunctional.
