Lets_Talk:
I can think of an excellent reason for Pelini to take the YSU job, and it has NOTHING to do with whether or not YSU is one of top FCS jobs.
To spite Nebraska and stick the screws to them. From all I have read, it seems YSU could pay Pelini $1 per year to be HC until the buyout at Nebraska runs out. Even if he is paid say $150,000 - $200,000, Nebraska would still be paying the vast majority of the money Pelini gets for the next 4+ years.
Taking this job is not without risk for Pelini. If he is not able to beat NDSU consistently, not able to win any of the "money games", and YSU misses the playoffs in ANY season, or is 1 and done or 1-1 at best in playoffs, the knock on him of being unable to guide his team to wins in big games will just get bigger. And, in that case, his HC career will be finished, unless he stays at YSU for 5,10, 15 years and can accept being paid at most $200,000-$250,000, and coaching in front of crowds of 20,000 or less(most of the time more like 10,000, when adding in road games), instead of coaching in stadiums that hold 50,000+, are usually full or 85-90% full, and having most games televised on National TV. not ESPN 3.

For those seeking YSU coach reports, one source told me "Wednesday or Thursday" and another simply told me "getting closer."

They probably have to work out details if it is pelini with his Nebraska buy out clause. I'm pretty sure it's not just as easy as sign a new contract.

Agreed. It would be nice to get him just don't think it can happen.

If it is true, then the next few years at YSU ought to be very, very, very interesting.
It has been over 1 hour since the thread stating Pelinin to YSU is a done deal was started. And, now almost 30 minutes since a person posted on that thread said WKBN is saying this is true. Yet, nothing on ESPN.com, CBSSportsline or Yahoo Sports. Not saying Pelini to YSU isn't going to happen, just saying those 3 National sites are not reporting on this story. Kind of odd if this is indeed a done deal. I'm guessing they were duped once, so this time they are waiting until 100% certain to run with the story.
I did see an article on SB Nation, and it cited FootballScoop as the outlet that made this public. Then story was updated to say Ytown media are also reporting story to be true. Again, the skeptic in me says this is FootballScoop throwing $h!t at the wall again, and hoping this time it sticks. SB Nation and FootballScoop are the TMZ of sports. So, once again, please understand my skepticism, until an OFFICIAL announcement is made by YSU.
