Their is no one that could better comment on bailing on Penn State than Jon Crispin. It's certainly easier to bail out rather than be the guy that builds tradition.Good article by by Jon Crispin concerning the challenges Penn State faces with the MBB.....

Lifetime Hoya here. Right now PSU is a better program than Georgetown if you take away the fact that Georgetown has already found their coach.
In one respect Crispin is simply full of ****.Good article by by Jon Crispin concerning the challenges Penn State faces with the MBB.....

Thanks for the heads up Art, never fail to surprise.
Posted this article i found in another thread, thought it was good. After reading Barry's post ( #23 in the Calvin wants out thread ) about the extra mile in spending Penn State would go if Shrew stayed; Crispin got it wrong...
"With every big Penn State basketball win comes calls for first-year athletic director Pat Kraft to pay Shrewsberry whatever it would take to keep him around.
Crispin isn’t sure if this is plausible. As he pointed out, Penn State hasn’t shown a willingness to pay a basketball coach big money.
“And this is not a knock; this is just a reality because the value in basketball hasn’t always been there,” Crispin sai"
Yes, those reportedly "lucrative salary offers" were really $4.09 and all of the ice cream the Shrewsberry family could eat at the Creamery.

Wait. All the ice cream ?!?!
What kind of a$$hole turns down Creamery ice cream?
Well he did. So I am glad he is gone. We simply cannot have this malfeasance on our campus.
I liked and appreciated the posts from you and Barry concerning the plausible impact of money dumped into the male basketball program, really interesting.

Currently, I'm sipping Evan Williams and watching Doc West Part-2. Maybe some "Old Tub" later, great taste in 100 proof.
Next, I'll dial up an episode of FBI or Boston Legal, for some stress relief in my semi-retirement projects I have to address. Been working full time + since last yr. Finally, I'm back employed 3 days a week, love it. That may change as out of the ordinary projects will need assistance.
The athlete that I was, doesn't give a $h*t about the current sports world outside of Karen's & my involvement contributing a meager donation to the Levi Lamb every yr.
The donations are directed to all sports.

“Where are we”….Nate Bauer’s fine article details PSU administration’s smug, slow walk with Coach Shrews. We had the real deal, but lacked the common sense, foresight and K S A to get the job done. “Where are we”….,in a world of hurt…So where are we? It’s been a few days. Where‘s the new coach? We need someone now to secure all those DIAPER. DANDIES.that we’ve become accustomed to at PSU. Time is short.
Hey Acho… you have any idea how much $$$ PSU was willing to pony up for Shrews? The report was that the powers that be were willing to double his salary… what would it have been?
Here‘s where my stupid shines. I know we are just Penn State (
), but I was hoping basketball would become a high priority with Neeli coming from louisville and Kraft having attended indiana.
Read Bauer’s article….much, much more than coach’s salary. Heck, if NIL would have been addressed last August, we would have had a top 15 class and we would still have the coach who recruited them….
Jay issued a statement regarding the NIL which refuted what was alleged regarding the lack of funding for the basketball program. He claimed the false information put out there was harming the program and the search for the new coach.
Probably a good thing for ND and Coach Shrewsberry that the op-ed penned by Father Joyce and Jack Swarbrick came out after ND had locked up Coach Shrewsberry. I'm sure the timing of the op-ed's release had nothing to do with the status of the contract negotiations.
Might be a good idea if Nate Bauer arranged an interview with Pat Kraft regarding the status of PSU's NIL undertakings. Chances of it happening?
Based on the activity of PSU BOT and administration over the past 12+ years, do you really expect Kraft to provide honest answers?
And he pulls about $3.5mm p.a. which probably makes him too expensive.
But housing is cheaper than State College, so he would probably take less to be part of the Penn State family.
I'm not down with poaching a head coach from a school that will be joining the B1G next year. Look @ the bad blood now between Providence and Georgetown after G-Town poached the Providence coach.
I'm all in for our football staff to poach a good player especially a DT from ND, just to draw the line and make a statement in one shot. I know it's apples and oranges but they'd get the point.
I heard the rumor yes. No clue if true, according to his bio the record isn’t great but the recruits have been.
3 - 5starts
9 - 4stars in 5 years. Is impressive

“Let’s Work!” More than just a cliché team slogan, this defense-first, blue collar mentality is the foundation for seventh-year head coach Mike Boynto...
Personally … I want a winning hoops program. If that means hiring away a coach or offering a recruit/ player a better NIL deal … so be it.
