I bet you that JS is kicking himself in East Lansing right now.

I bet you that JS is kicking himself in East Lansing right now. Both jobs are full rebuilds. UW is going to be a massive rebuild, they lose a ton of experience and starting talent and that's before the flood gates open on transfers after DeBoer leaves(assuming he does). They are in financial dire straights and took a partial membership/revenue deal which will not bail them out anytime soon. Expectations will not be reasonable coming off this season. Seattle/West Coast vs East Lansing, no brainer there, but that aside, MSU is in a far superior position and much better equipped to make a quick turnaround. |

One word of caution for JS though: Sanitize that telephone!!! |

I don't think that is as clear cut as you say. MSU did not have a very good roster. Yes, UW is losing a lot, but JS would have had a much better chance of getting more players to follow him to UW. Also, he knows that school and his recruiting ties are out west. And, even with a reduced share from the Big 10, they're still getting more than they were from the Pac12. They also have some very deep pocketed boosters. |

So what does Will Rogers do? Transfers from Mississippi State to UW, starts class on Monday (maybe, if he's taking a class) and now this. Head back to Alabama?

They also have some very deep pocketed boosters. MSU had maybe the toughest schedule in the country this year and essentially a distracted then fired head coach during the season. I'm not convinced their cupboard was/is bare based on their results and given the circumstances, not to the extent UW's will be. MSU gets a full revenue share, does not have a stadium debt obligation noose around their neck, and also has plenty of very wealthy boosters. Wasn't long ago they funded what was called the best football facilities, bar none, by most accounts at the time. With UM's success, they will be highly motivated to open up their checkbooks at the first glimpse things are going in right direction. Not sure that's the case at UW coming off the heels of 22 straight wins, a conference championship, and a national title game. A big win or two at MSU next year could generate a mountain of excitement and momentum for their program, that will be far from the case at UW. The bar is literally set as high as it can be right now at UW while it's at the bottom for MSU. UW may get more than they did from the PAC, but they'll not be competing against equal revenue sharing partners any longer, they'll be competing against B1G teams receiving a much bigger revenue share than them. |

No Bama is kicking their ass in the coaches transfer portal.  |

Their precious rowing team will be competing on the west coast because they would be the only team in the Big10. |
