Now go back and read my first post again when you talk about introductions and why some of those whales aren't lining up. If you don't like NIL, Kraft, or CJF....that is fine, but don't sit there and act like PSU hasn't faced internal battles. PSU fans/alums for years thumbed their nose at the pay for play schools, but guess what their fans aren't stuck in this internal battle as they got past this 20+ years ago.

Remember this one?

Again as @PSUJam said I won't summarize pay article opinions or information, but this just call out the AD, CJF, or someone else line and say that is all it is really is not meaningful. I will say that the lack of cohesion prior to Kraft and into his first year hasn't helped. Then you have folks that weren't keen on the program really progressing. Good news is some changes have been made, but PSU isn't moving up that latter anytime soon. Fire coach and see which great ones come to a school not supporting CJF/NIL or that fought him all along the way and still aren't where they should be. PSU puts the U and S in dysfunction.
Ah, the same Michael Maut who left HVU to make more money working for PSU.i

Without reading any premium content I already see one issue, and that is that football, as far as I know, does not have it's own collective and it should. Big dog eats first.
HVU has a subdivision called the Lion Legacy Club dedicated to football. Whether it is adequately staffed, which I doubt, is another matter.
You can donate to a specific sport such as football through HVU. That information is out there but admittedly not easy to find. Perhaps if HVU somehow knew you're an Alumni, they'd be able to contact you and fill you in on such things. 🤔
Why doesn't HVU buy an alumni list from the Alumni Association? It's not as if that hasn't been done before.

Alternatively, why don't ICA development staff mention HVU when theiy're soliciting for the school?

Not lying, just not the sharpest tool in the shed.

Why hasn't Big Time Brandon brought The Pru on board as a NIL sponsor?
What they need to do at PSU is make the doors each 12 foot tall so you extremely arrogant big head could fit through the doors and fix it all. You sure seem to ask a lot of questions for someone who pretends to have all the answers. You fix it Mr. Know it all. You could hire the right AD, coach, and fix NIL in probably an hour.....maybe then just aren't aware of your genius. I'm sure you can get that resume fired up though. Why not try and walk the walk?

Second coming of MCE on the growing old and sour....I'll do my best to pass on your sanctimonious BS again now....toodles.

Said it on a number of previous occasions: can't afford the pay cut. But, hell, PSU don't need me. Get Brandon to do it.

thats why CJF makes the big bucks
Not a CJF job.

Let's assume Daddy Warbucks exists and will support PSU in a big way. First he has to know about NIL, not always a given. Second, his business has to lend itself to NIL (don't see many gynos signing up) otherwise he's gotta find space to store a shitload of t-shirts.

first I'll say if CJF wants to keep his job, he better make it his job. Cant say we lost these games because we didnt have enough NIL money! So you go to Daddy Warbucks, explain the way of the world and tell them what they need to do to help. The only thing his business needs is cash. You give the cash to the player, he logs it into his app, the player gives him a seminar on how to play football, no T shirt needed. done!! Just dont wreck the car !

Agree as far as making calls to solicit money. Setting up the deal gets passed on to someone else.

I'm sure you think what you say is the whole story too. Hopefully you or the best GD AD talent critic ever on the planet can line up that meeting with Daddy Warbucks. I cannot believe nobody thought of trying to get the big donors involved prior to today.

Not nobody, the HFC, he needs to go I’d start with Ken Frazier and work the list from there. The former CEO of AstraZeneca has given his Alma Mater plenty as has Sandy Now Ken needs to step up

well at least somebody is trying to work this out instead of 'its premium information to know how PSU is failing at NIL'

personally I'd consider firing the TE coach, and hiring at tax attoney to the football staff full time. In the old days they could field a football team wth 8 asst coaches, then 9 and now 10. Take that 10 guy, and make him a full time person in charge of NIl, let him have a tax attoney background and hire a guy from Harvard or Yale for instant street cred. He could meet we donars and get money out of them as well as meeting with propects and explaining the best way for he and his family to set up there situation. Nobody else is doing it, CJF could be the first!

More coaches mean more guys to go recruit. Guess who started the trend of a massive staff of assistants…..Saban. He seemed to know what he was doing.

well just think if you put a guy on the road who could really explain how and what to do with all this money. The go across the street to DaddyWar bucks and explain to them how all of this works, and not from some Gym teacher but a guy with real credentials.

but can he go on the road and recuit? (I dont think so) can he take boosters to the coaches box game day? (I hope not). Did he go to Harvard? I think not
Does Princeton count?

"He earned a bachelor of science degree in engineering from Princeton in 2001 and a master’s in education from Vanderbilt in 2007."

Why would you ever hire someone from Princeton or Vanderbilt? What do they know about big-boy football?

Wait. 😞
