Posters who pointed to Brian’s amount and said Jenkins got what Scourton turned down for Tamu. Again, posters who were plugged in and would tend to have info a bit before it was public.It’s not unreasonable. Never said it was. I was just curious where you were getting your numbers. Do you know how much of the 9 or 10 mil the collective has goes to football?
Which, again, it’s all about to change. And probably benefits Purdue.
Collectives are one thing. Some schools have big money donors who just drop off big donations and tell IUs AD to do what needs to be done. IU is 6-0 and everything good about their team is transfers. Because in between NIL mobilizing and revenue sharing, these kind of short term results are possible.
Now you think I’m trying to tell you Purdue is permanently doomed … I’m not. I agree. When revenue sharing kicks in, the top programs will still be able to bribe the Rondale Moore’s, but schools like Purdue will have the internal money to keep really good players who are at Purdue for the right reasons.
Where I’m actually going with this is the fact that it’s dumbfounding to me that fans expect stuff from any coach who has no money and very few quality home grown veterans. That said, I still expected 4-8 from Walters, so 1-11 should not keep his job. But these same fans are going to expect stuff from the next coach. And it’s delusional.
If Purdue had spent 2.0 million more than it did, Purdue could have kept Scourton and got playmakers at MLB, corner and slot receiver. And even with all the bs they’d probably be 3-3.
A big problem too of course is that cars appears to be a lot of money wasted
