What do you get from James Franklin for $7.5 million?

I think I got your point. Manual laborers are ignorant fools who can’t get past 9th grade. Well done.

I know a few manual laborers who retired before their late 50's and are doing just fine 10 years later. Maybe they aren't as dumb as some of the educated.

No, but I do have time on my side and I'm a very patient individual.

James will be departing PSU around 2025/2026 either because he has better opportunities or the buy-out becomes financially ingestible by PSU.

He'll win 11 next year and his good friend Pat will give him a new contract putting him back in the top 10 highest paid coaches in the nation.

Kudos on the use of the word aggrandizement.

The root word “aggrandize” is one of the best words in the English vocabulary.

The janitor wouldn't know the meaning of the word. LOL

Illinois is a win as well. WV no problem. Maryland a ? LOL
Illinois loses its bell cow and likely QB.
10 win regular season and another NY6.

Looks a lot like your prediction for this year. I guess with the BWICAC hope springs eternal.
