WOW - who would have ever thought it possible, this is what minor league football has become?

Leaving defending National Champs The Ohio State for Penn State? WHAT? Not even the richest programs are exempt from being outbought and poached? (sure I think he's from back there, but Columbus can't be that far from where he's from).

3.1 million for 3 years... not bad if you can get it.

No question about leaving a national title team, but Jim's from Philly and Ryan Day is a very hard coach to work for. Penn State is competing for a title and he can turn that defense into a top 3 within two seasons. Plus $3.1 mil a year would just about any coordinator to go anywhere.

Congrats to Knowles. He's upgrading from the worst boss in college football to the second worst boss in the country.
