So during last week's loss with Iowa, most of the stadium cleared out after Jump Around, on a Homecoming game... its just a matter of when with Fickell here at Wisconsin, but I wonder if our AD is going to get sent as well. At least the Men's Basketball program along with Hockey and Women's Volleyball are in good shape.

Idk how you can be mad at the AD luke Fickell was a hot name when y’all hired him

There have been whispers mainly because of the 4yrs / $31M left on the tab.

I don't understand why Rhule is being mentioned so much in connection with PSU. I mean, that has to be his agent flooding the streets, right, cuz why?

He is an alum and close friends with the AD and the guy up under him.

That, and it's kind've using confirmation bias to work backward from the firing assuming that the only way a partner of the school like Adidas agrees to handle most or all of the buyout is if they're going to make a splash with the replacement hire.

What makes it a little bit of a lofty goal for me is that the buyout for Rhule at Nebraska has to be crazy. He flat out said when he got hired that the offer made it financially worth his time to not sit out the remainder of his Panthers contract, and ain't no way a contract competing with the crazy NFL money he was getting doesn't have a sizeable buyout that he would be expecting someone to either pay for him, or compensate him for.

He gotta keep winning though. Honestly needs to win 10 imo for the shyt to even remotely make sense.

Alum, did work at temple, really digs into the local coaching scene to gather talent and earn favors, plus he’s mobbed up in Pennsylvania, if they get him I’m guessing their giving him a Nebraska mulligan and focusing on his other stops
