Here is a quote from the Oakland coach.

"He's going to get offered so much money and I can't [match that]. We've got a 'Keep Trey Townsend Fund' going from our [NIL] collective, and we might be able to get $40-50,000 in there, but he's looking at $250-300,000 from what I'm being told. So, it's going to be hard for me to tell him to stay."

I like having a little coin in my pocket as much as the next guy but this obsession with money the players, coaches and just people in general have, is out of control.

Have to wonder if this was another reason why YSU wasn't interested in a post season tourney, and possibly why Lovelace & Burns are in the portal. 


Was thinking the same thing.

How much more is that than what coach makes now?  just wondering!  I still think he gets another oppotunity with a major program!

He makes $300,000 base salary through  the 2027-2028 season, but there are a lot of bonuses in there.  Here's the contract https://ogden_images.s3.amazonaws.com/www.vindy.com/images/2023/03/31094720/J.-Calhoun-Contract.pdf

Call me old fashion, I don’t understand this. If he just signed the contract extension till 2028, what was he doing to interview for another mid major program already.

When Tressel signed his contract, he had an escape cause for Big 10 (specifically Ohio State). He incited at the time, if  he didn’t get the OSU job after interviewing, he would stay at YSU.

I agree, guess I am out of touch also. How can you expect the players to be committed when the coach is not.

SamuraiHoops on Twitter:
"Youngstown St HC Jerrod Calhoun has INTERVIEWED at Southern Illinois…per Samurai Sources #StayTuned"

He needs to be recruiting not interviewing.

Believe it or not, Oakland U. Just took down Kentucky.

Sorry to hear that.

for years the complaint was that it was not fair to the athletes that they got nothing but free room and board and a degree, while the school would get all the money. To some degree that was a fair statement, but as often happens in this country anymore in our never-ending quest for fairness to all we have screwed it up bigtime. Not sure that they can get the horses back in the barn.

College sports has lost its innocence and a lot of its appeal.

"It's a new reality in college basketball and we all need to get used to any decent player that develops at YSU will look to the open market when the season concludes."

Money is ruining college sports, change is not always for the better.

I guess that even if he is in the portal he can always stay if he changes his mind. Either way I wish him the best

The Horizon gets no respect,  I watched Duquesne win yesterday wonder if that league would be a good fit for an upgrade. If Dayton still in would be a good rival

Does the league deserve more respect? How many signature wins did the league get this year?

Interesting that her record of 71-67 is the best ever at Akron.

First I wish her nothing but the best.

WKBN states that she previously served as head coach at the University of Akron, where she led the Zips to a pair of postseason appearances and the best winning percentage in program history. So why did she leave Akron?
