Only in reply to your first paragraph.
It is not supposed to be that easy. That picture hanging there would have to be evaluated by Deloitte to determine if $1M is the FMV to that company - which I would guess it is not.
Now - I do not believe for one second that this process will work and prevent outright pay for pay.

Deloitte is hired by the NCAA. They get their pay from the NCAA. As soon as they deny a NIL and the NCAA gets sued then Deloitte's gravy train is cut off because the NCAA while find another party to administer the "Clearinghouse".

I mean, come on. I get it. It was a shock. Mouser and that group comes out smelling like a rose. It was as if someone died. They are literally a 3 hour plane ride away. Although Happy Valley is a pain in the rear to get to. It’s really time, as leader of the site, to move past this. It’s not going to come back as it was.
I find it fairly hilarious that a lot of the people saying "move past this" are still in full meltdown mode themselves.
 
Really makes you wonder about the conversations Campbell had with the team until 2 am and then next morning the players vote to opt out. Sounds like maybe they were instructed
Can’t have his future team at Penn State risk injury in a bowl game. Probably good indication that both QB’s were gone. Can’t go into a bowl game with only 1.
 
CW looked really bad on last Wednesday's podcast with BB. I am not accusing him of anything, I am merely making a personal observation- CW looked like he was on a bender. When BB was talking early in the podcast on Wednesday- CW just had this long face stare going.
He did say in 2Guys that he has been ill and can't seem to get over that. There is a lot of illness going around.
 
Matt Campbell should have waited and not accepted the head coaching job at pedo state his favorite NFL team Cleveland browns fired there head coach this morning MC could have had his dream job
He can just wait a few years and it will be open again. 10 head coaches in 25 years.
 
Penn State was in a similar position as us. When Franklin got fired, most of the team entered the portal. So not really surprising that Campbell will also take anyone willing to come to PSU.
If we were spending $30m not $13m in NIL and double on coaches…as well as being a ‘blue blood’ program…I’d expect a lot more from the portal.

Its not supposed to be that easy, but it is. No one is actually enforcing any rules, even with as few as there is so, yeah they pretty much get away with whatever they want.

Not upset about Rocco leaving, I never understood the fanfare for him. He was a mediocre QB, he played hard which I appreciated but he sucked this year. He doesn’t have an NFL future so I can’t blame him for getting a bag while he can. What’s funnier is watching Campbell bring a bunch of players over in favor of existing 5 star players PSU had. Also running Grunk out in favor of Rocco is so stupid. He has 3 more years of eligibility and looked good down the stretch versus a 1 year Rocco who will inevitably have a few 3 INT games and lose against Rutgers or something stupid.

I think someone said earlier that fcmc was jealous of tj and the baketball program with all their national success. It does make one wonder how true this could be

Wait, what? I don't know this story....
 
As no cameras were present ;)
It says a lot about a guy who sets up a camera and acts like a blubbering mess in front of everyone cause a coach he was a little too close to left. Then we hire a new guy who has done absolute work in a few weeks and seems disinterested. Not what you would expect from someone running a site called “cyclone fanatic”
