Do you think he would have not called if it was someone else in the president's office (except maybe Shawn Eichorst :) )?

Fan, next time you're at a Penguin Club function reach out to a few of Bo's longtime friends, and ask them if Bo would have taken this job if JT wasn't the Prez. Their answer would be "no".
--- End quote ---
I know the answer to that ... "yes". The better question is would Strollo have even made an offer without Tressel ... probably not. But in all honesty, Bo would have called, as there were several other parties involved that Bo knows ...including Strollo, assistant AD's, other political and professional people, etc. In general coach T is in a much better position now than he has been over the past few years with much of that suspension nonsense expiring. I will also say that it is too easy for the media to pick on Pelini and Tressel, so Bo's behavior must continue to be scrutinized by insiders before it gets out to the media and other conference teams. Likewise JT knows he cannot be seen as a university president that brought in a potential "bad boy" and have his ability as the YSU president called to question; so he stayed pretty clean in the hiring and will stay neutral should any incidents flare-up.

Agree we need a new arena or Beeghly needs serious remodel

If you think JT has his hands clean of Bo and the football program, you'd be wrong.

Beeghly certainly is not a dump, there have been recent upgrades. Yes more can be done and no doubt will, but a dump it is not.
I believe that Calhoun is trying to bring in money, heck why wouldn't he. Money can help all areas of the program.
YSU1:
with an RPI of 329 out of 351 teams it will be difficult to attract big time basketball players to come to Youngstown. because of that it will be difficult to build a program.
