Got a 10 year, $95 million extension this week.

I wonder if those MSU alums who footed the bill are watching the O$U pasting of MSU.

Edit: They lost by 49 points.

I’m sure that weird cornerback from MSU got used worse than our DBs. Ohio state figured it out.. just sucks we were the first team they played when they did

Puts Brohm’s $4.7 million salary in perspective.

Definitely.. I’m hoping we retain most of these coaches

I don’t think it’sa done deal, from anything I’ve read at least

He should have grabbed it when he could as Tom Allen did! IU is stuck with Allen because he has a $30 million buyout.

Correct, and it always was "in perspective" for anyone paying attention, and those who weren't rabidly anti-Brohm.

Yeah, has great record of offering extensions, Allen, Crean, Miller, etc.

That says way more about Purdue than anything else...has nothing at all to do with perspective.

Franklin and Freeze got big extensions too.

Maybe I am missing something...or in the minority on the matter, but, did it scream in either case "lock this guy up for 10 years"?

The last time I remember a guy getting a 10-year contract extension for a ton of money was Chuck Weis at ND...after they LOST a game to USC...because it was close.

Franklin has been fine at PSU, but, has not set the world on fire by any means. Tucker...was fine at Colorado...lousy year a year ago in his first season in East Lansing, but, so many outside factors may have impacted it...but, who has he beat this year, aside of UM, who lost the game way more than MSU won it?

Both schools have apparently decided that they have "their guy" for the foreseeable future and who they want to have running their respective program. It will be interesting to see if either, much less both, reach the end of the new contracts they just agreed to.

Freeze at freaking LIBERTY now making $4 mil per year. Really puts Brohm’s contract in perspective. Looking more like an absolute bargain by the day.

I really don’t get this bonanza. Weren’t all these athletic departments supposed to be hemorrhaging money???

There is almost no way Tucker is worth this money.

I suspect Penn State will beat them leaving them with 3 losses in their last 4 games. They could have easily lost a couple more this year.

They could have saved a bundle if they would have waited a few more weeks.

We start off with Penn St next year. Should be an interesting game.
