This means nothing. Look at Danny Sprinkle, signed a contract with MSU and turned around and left. He might have a new deal, but that hardly means he is locked into staying at NDSU.

I just went to a program up at MSU prior to Cat/Griz that featured someone from UM talking about NIL and money spent in college sports. NDSU does not spend like a FBS program, their athletic spending is $30.2M with football taking $6.5M of that and the university subsidising $12.1M to make ends meet throughout the athletic dep't. MSU spending is $28.6M with football taking $11.3M and no university subsidy. UM is about the same. Boise State on the other hand spends $64.3M with football taking $26.5M and the university subsidising $13.8M. The difference between upper FCS and mid FBS programs is another $30M or double what we are generating/spending currently. Upper level FBS programs like SEC teams are in the $285M area. Numbers come from published EADA annual reports through Dep't of Education.

I think with NDSU it's more about the NIL money they have from doners. I think there's a huge discrepancy there, and also the players get full cost of attendance or something like that.

Can you help me understand what “university subsidizing” is composed of?

[luckyirishguy25]

ugh... I really didn't want this to be true.

Sorry boys but it’s not Shep and Vigen

Give me Vigen with Costello to follow!

[catatac]

So, IF the reports are true (Honestly you never know any more, but it seems pretty clear Vigen has in fact interviewed) then it's likely down to two candidates, one of which will get OFFERED the job. IF that ends up being Vigen and IF he takes it, (He's moving up one of these years, we've always known that), I just really hope he doesn't start that job until after the final playoff game.

I have zero clue that that means.

I bet Costello is a busy man

He’s not going to leave until the season is over. That doesn’t mean he won’t sign with another program, but he’s gonna finish the season out.

Look at what Eric Morris @ North Texas is doing with Oklahoma State. Same thing.

[BelligerentBobcat]

There’s no doubt he’s known this is coming. It’s part of being an elite FCS program.

[jhopmsu79]

I'm saying he is busy working on a contract offer

I trust your knowledge here, and super glad to know at least that much. If I remember correctly, that was the hang up with not getting the WSU job last year, Vigen wasn't willing to start immediately whereas Rodgers was. So I could see OSU saying, uh no... we're paying you millions of dollars, you're starting immediately, and Vigen doing it after losing out on the WSU job last year. Having said all that, both of those places are where coached go to die. Yes the money is good for a few years but there is ZERO chance WSU will ever seriously compete with UW long term and the same goes for OSU and OR.

Yes, and he was busy being on the selection committee, which is why he was not at Cat gris, and from what I hear he will be in South Dakota this weekend as the members have to be in attendance for playoff games. I do not know why that is.

I don’t know anything. I’m just using common sense.

Neither OSU or WSU are competing (at least not directly) with UW or UO. They are in different conferences. Both schools should have the resources to be successful in the newly constituted PAC 12.

This. OSU in the new Pac12 will have the most $$ for football, most NIL and best facilities. Just need coaching and I’ll be happy! No auto bids for CFP though

I think BSU will jump WSU in terms of success. OSU and BSU will be interesting, BSU has less $$ but their AD is a GOD TIER AD. He does everything right. And success starts at the top
