That's awesome, good golly!!! Did everyone in the stadium know she was there for ONE game in 12 years?
Shrews to ND nfm
- Thread starter Hartzie
- Start date
Why does everyone in the stadium need to know she’s there? This is such a strange take.
As I asked in a previous conversation about this, how do you know this hasn’t been worked out privately with the family and they are satisfied with that? Do you hear the family requesting what you want? Jay is on the BOT for Pete’s sake. He has a perfect platform to try to get exactly what you seem to think he is “owed”. Yet, you don’t hear a peep about it from him or anyone else from the family. Are worried about the family or yourself?
You seem like the perfect person to go into a board meeting as a BOT member and ask for accolades, recognition, and participation trophies for yourself.
I find it cowardly that Shrewsberry has not made any public statement about his time at Penn State at all. None that I am aware of
And Digger Phelps was a dick!!
A past friend of mine was a basketball manager for Digger Phelps.........He hated Digger more than any human on earth. Said he made Tim Kempton cry. Ha!
It’s a job folks.
Good luck to him moving forward.
Don’t hate the player, hate the game.

No, what doesn't make any sense is this bizarre blame the customers stance that you think is a winning strategy. Dumb.
PSU was a stepping stone for the NCAA coaching world? Ever?
That’s picking out just one part of the post. I meant it’s a school (or the type of school, I suppose) where you want to have success early so you can capitalize on it and get out to a bigger program. This guy was able to do where others in the past have not.
PSU Basketball (Men's) receives a lot of revenue from its B10 revenue sharing - just like every other B10 program. That comes out to around $10 million per year.
Penn State basketball generates essentially nothing on its own - generally between $1/2 million and $1 million in ticket revenues per year - and that figure barely twitches when PSU wins a few more games, or loses a few more games, or how much they spend (including things like paying coaches) in doing so.
You can find that information for each year here: 2021-22 NCAA Financial Report (PDF) - Penn State Athletics (gopsusports.com)
As long as PSU Basketball doesn't "spend away" the $10 million welfare check, they show a "profit"
Every dollar they do spend, for all intents and purposes - and this is, I believe, the gist of Grim's post - only burns another dollar of the welfare check, without generating a new dollar of revenue. This, we have seen, in the past. That as PSU spends more on basketball (including the last two years with the big $ increase going to Shrewsberry) it doesn't generate new revenues equal to the spend (not even close to it).
So, whatever the reasons may be to spend more - and there may be several reasonable non-financial arguments there (or maybe not) the data and the history strongly indicate that - as Grim indicated - "spending more" is a clear loser from a financial standpoint.
“…you made this place feel like home.” EVEN. THOUGH. IT. NEVER. WAS.
F*ck you guys.
Time for a bake sale. Or we need the players to sell candy bars.
But would Joe want the statue removed in the manner it was, and the fan base called sicko pedophile enablers who put winning football games above children?
