I think it's a valid question to ask ...how does an intelligent person, with a university full of academics who understand human nature, business, negotiations and economics sign a long term deal where one party gets all the benefits and the other assumes the risks? From what I understand there is no clawback of salary tied to performance, annual bonuses for Franklin to stay with the program and payoffs if he's fired for performance.

Now I haven't read the contract, so I'm only going on what has been written and, likely, the writers haven't read it either. Interesting

I doubt it is quite as one-sided as what was reported. The school historically has not released much information about these details. There are probably more outs for PSU than the public knows about

do you understand labor markets? the dude still has market value and would leave and PSU would have to rebuild again. one can debate whether that's better in the long run. however, if the goal is to fill the stadium and keep things stable and you have a guy who can recruit top athletes, then there is "potential" to get better and that "potential" is at risk when there are tons of lateral openings.

my point is not in support of the original extension--it's simply communicating that it was, at that time, one of a few rational decisions in front of them.
