Is Lousiville a step-up from Purdue? It probably used to be, but I don't think that's the case anymore.

I honestly look at Louisville like Kennesaw State (go Owls, my alma mater now that SPSU is ded). I'd rather be at Purdue than Louisville. Plus, isn't MBOB at Purdue? He is such an outgoing AD that is likely so beloved by the Purdue fanbase that I can't imagine anyone leaving him.

Don't know what you mean. Louisville is a glorified commuter school as is Kennesaw State. Purdue is a prestigious University in the Big 10.

And MBOB did good things for Tech. Like leaving

I was referring to you cheering for them because they were gifted our alma mater.

The AA actually thought Petrino wasn't a complete dumbass of a coach because of Lamar Jackson. Sucks to be them.

I cheer for them because of Bohannan (yes, I know he played at UGAg) embraces our offense and is an obvious candidate when CPJ ever decides to retire. Obviously Jeff Monkin would be the frontrunner. I really am not sure about Niumatalolo at this point.

I was vocal about the gift of SPSU to KSU. I participated in an online forum where my questions about cost savings and where I could see the data on cost savings were ignored so "RAH RAH" and "Man this is so great" questions could be answered. I never once got an answer from anyone about why it was being done. There is absolutely no studies behind KSU absorbing SPSU other than the BOR is run by morons who just decided offhand to do it. Years before, SPSU had the opportunity to purchase all of the Life College campus, when Life was in dire straits, and expand. The campuses are connected at the south side and it would have made for a beautiful university since Life has some fantastic facilities. The plan was to buy Life, lease back a few academic buildings to them, expand SPSU. Unfortunately, SPSU didn't have a powerful leader at the time (our president at the time was that lady who brought her little dog to work - whatever he name was). Cheshire (Purdue grad) before her likely would have gotten it pushed through.

Anyway, the BOR is staffed with a majority of UGAg grads. UGAg wanted engineering at the time and I truly feel that they granted SPSU to KSU to help raise the status of UGAg. The smarter option would have been to move SPSU back under the GT umbrella and just let GT decide which colleges would locate to Marietta - perhaps the non engineering colleges and keep some of the SPSU majors. As it were, the BOR also obviously has a dislike for all things GT so GT being able to expand to the Marietta campus would put a strain on expanding engineering in Athens - since it would then make no sense to expand Athens with GT having an additional 250 acre campus in Marietta.

Anyway, my rant. The BOR sneakily shut down SPSU with no public input and no data just because they could. I honestly believe it was done to ultimately help UGAg.

I can't stand your political posts and leanings, but you are spot on this. I too, know some inside on this as a past alumni president of SPSU. Probably wrong location for this discussion as this was about Biker Boy, but Rossbaucher was told, and I quote, "If you know what's good for you, you keep your mouth shut about Georgia getting engineering."

So now, if KSU can hurt UGAg somehow, I am all for it.

JJ angling to get that GT sheepskin. Gotta love the effort.
 
Baseball has slowly seen less of these guaranteed mega-contracts, which prove to be disastrous on the back end (Pujoks, A-Rod etc)
I wonder if they’ll be a similar rollback on coaches buyouts as we go forward. I get that not having a long-term contract can be used against you in recruiting, but a $14 MM buyout is unbelievably crippling for years.
