PSU will offer max $900k


I thought PSU had deeper pockets than that.

They feel LSU will not pay Shoop the same pay Chavis received here but will pay Shoop a little more than 1 million. $900K is on the very high end for what PSU would be willing to paying.

They do. They just have tendencies in line with a certain historical race of people.

I'm sure it's a principle thing rather than a money thing. Not saying it's the right way to think in today's environment, but I'm sure they could pay more if they wanted to. Just like LSU could have paid more to Chavis.

it's not just about how much money they have. there is a general "scale" for asst coaches and throwing a huge raise at one guy could seriously throw this out of balance. so they have to consider that their OC might get pissed if he's making a huge amount less than the DC and they'll have to bump him up also.

back to the money PSU has. they have never shown the inclination to get into a huge "arms race" with coaches and facilities. they place a premium on their academics and probably, imo, want to keep what they consider a balance between sports and academics.

good for them. being honest, most of us put way too mkuch emphasis on college football.

I think whatever money they have goes to all of these additional sports that other colleges don't have.
