Jeff Brohm (Indiana) takes the Louisville HC job - reports say 6 yr deal totaling $35 million WRT Coach Prime (Sanders) I watched a video today of his Colorado press conference and was impressed - a no-nonsense guy who comes across as very intelligent and will have all the resources he needs to rebuild

There will be a lot of money out there for solid coaches. When FCS playoffs are over be interesting to see who makes the jump.

One of the top coaches in FCS is moving up to FBS to take over BYU’s defense:

The Brohm family has been prominent in Louisville football for decades. Patriarch Oscar played for U of L and then was the long time coach at Male (I think) high school. Son Greg was a WR at Louisville, Jeff was QB at Louisville and was a 49ers backup for a couple of seasons. Brian was a high school sensation, recruited heavily by Notre Dame and other P5 schools and on the cover of Sports illustrated when that meant something. He, of course, chose U of L over all others and starred at QB there. Brian played a few games for Buffalo although he may have been on the Packers without playing. Cardinals fans have been clamoring for Jeff Brohm to coach the team for many years.

A new Brohm sweeps clean. Good luck to the Cardinals. $35 million doesn't sound like a hometown discount. U.L. must have developed a whopper of an athletic fundraising machine over the years or else the State Legislature funds U.L. and U.K. athletics more robustly than New England states do their State U's.

There’s a huge difference between the status of athletic programs at state universities in KY and those in New England

Kevin Decker (former OC at Fordham) now OC at ODU just snatched the heir to the QB position at Fordham for next season, Grant Wilson Major setback for the '23 Rams and another indication it will be HC and not much else in the PL going forward

Don't underestimate the Rams. They have come through worse in the past and have shown they will ignore PL rules if they can improve their team - and force the PL to come along in the process.

I assume you have evidence of this from such a declarative statement - care to share how they 'ignore PL rules' , and if they are you're saying the PL brass is looking the other way ?

Yes, they started football scholarships (IIRC after HC restarted basketball scholarships).

Fordham resumed football scholarships on their own when they were not allowed by the PL. The PL brass never "looked the other way" as you say (I never did) because they were ineligible to win a PL title for a few years . Eventually the rest of the PL (except for Georgetown) followed suit. I am surprised you did not know about this since most of the folks on Crossports clearly do. Why so defensive in your post?

The topic here is not schollie history from 11 years ago - It is how does Fordham or anyone else in the league restructure their roster for the next season when the transfer portal nets out with more quality leaving than coming in

I was not aware there was such a "rule." It more often than not that Crossports posts follow something of a stream of consciousness approach. I must have missed the topic you cite "how does Fordham or anyone else in the league restructure their roster for the next season when the transfer portal nets out with more quality leaving than coming in." Where was that posted? You posted "it will be HC and not much else in the PL going forward" but you seem to be ignoring past practice by Fordham when they did not agree with a policy/practice established by the PL. How is that done in isolation? If you have some inside information that Fordham will now follow all PL rules, please share that.

Fordham is currently following the rules. If they choose to again unilaterally break them to add non-medical redshirts and the league again soon follows suit, it will put HC in an awkward position.
With no graduate programs HC is at a long-term disadvantage. We can't accept grad transfers and all fifth year players have to stall their natural academic/professional progression by eight months or so at a minimum.
Short-term the enthusiasm Chesney has built overpowers that long-term systemic disadvantage.

You lose to Army five times in seven years, that's the expectation. If Nick Saban lost five times, he'd be gone too.

Short-term the enthusiasm Chesney has built overpowers that long-term systemic disadvantage. The administration, coaches, and players have figured out the 5th year within the rules. It would be great for the PL to state this is how the league will operate. If they attempt anything punitive then Vamoos, au revoir, Auf Wiedersehen, and good bye

It’s probably an entire thread, but why don’t schools like HC offer graduate programs?

They could offer a public health/community health masters with the recognition of Fauci and make it a 2 semester program
