So tell me why should anyone have a loyalty to any "university" team then?
It's a transactional relationship. Cheer for the players on the team this season!

Kind of like rooting for the Iowa Cubs.

More than ever, the head coach has to be realistic and develop young guys. Coaching is going to matter more than ever.
 
You act like there is only one reason to play football.

Mainly for Brahmer but to some extent the others if they went somewhere else they may not have the role/playing time they do here. Also there is the TEAM thing and playing for each other.

For all the players the amount they would make in one year vs what they could make here is small over what they will make over their lifetime.
Disagree. And that's fine. If Rocco can make 3m somewhere, that's a lot of what his career earnings will be, one example.

Your initial post was there was zero reason for any senior to stay if they could get more money somewhere else.
 
Do we think reasonable Penn State fans/boosters give Campbell a year to build and establish his program? Or are there expectations sky high out of the gate?

I don’t think their expectations sky high for the first year, many of them. There are those who will always complain about Campbell being there and pick him apart the first year. But the general fan base probably will cut him SOME slack the first year.

Totally depends on if he wins and can beat the top teams in the league, Beating the Iowa's and Wisconsins at PSU is not going to get it done. He will be measured by is he beating Oregon, Michigan and Ohio State and getting them into the playoff. He does that more often than Franklin, which was never, and he will be fine.

I hate to say it, but if Campbell is needed bodies from ISU, then his talent level is going to drop big time next season. I doubt we would have 5 to 7 players getting much playing time on that team with all the players. leaving. Players leave the Penn States of the world for two reasons, lack of playing time or the opportunity to get make more money. If they are currently playing, and getting decent NIL, they are not leaving to go down just because of a coaching change.

If you don’t think he is capable of taking some of the best players that either were playing, or were going to be playing here, mashing them with the Penn State talent that does return, and filling in gaps from the portal, and winning a decent amount of games his first year, you were not paying attention the last 10 years. Or you are still munching on sour grapes.

If he doesn’t win 10 games next year there will be multiple hot seat guys yelling at him.

Might get hammered for this take. IMO, CMCs job at Ped St isn’t to take good players and grow them. That won’t cut it when the expectation is a Natty. His job will be dependent on recruiting 4 and 5 stars and getting them to buy in to his culture speak and beat the likes of Bama, ND, Michigan and Ohio St. I love our kids, but the ones that should be playing there aren’t here.
 
I actually think it’s funny that MC is stealing ISUs 3 star players. It will serve him and Pedo St well as they go up against 5 star recruits from Michigan, Oregon, USC and Ohio St. Good luck with that Matt. I look forward to your fall from grace.
He's got to build the practice squad first.
 
There are allusions on Twitter to an exodus from the KU football team. Apparently overpromised but underdelivering on promised NIL. Does anyone know anything of this? I know they have a big donor.
Wouldn’t surprise me at all.

And I’ll bet it’s true at a lot of places.
