Aranda to LSU? Keep your good coaches away from LSU, please.

Same old story...SEC schools willing to pay top dollar for assistants but the Big10 (other than OSU & Michigan) plays it cheap. Alvarez supposedly one of the biggest tightwads in spite of that athletic dept making a shitload of moneyComment

Maybe Alvarez thinks that Wisconsin has "arrived" as a B1G "power", and that should be enough to make top assistants want to stay. I've heard those Rose Bowl wins can be quite intoxicating.
But seriously, when other B1G programs complain about the dominance of OSU and Michigan, cases like this show what's really important to them. Its the money. They have no problem cashing the checks that OSU and Michigan have brought in over the years for their numerous bowl appearances. And also, consider that most of the TV money that is being raked in by the conference, is due to the popularity of Michigan and OSU. I mean, how many people want to be sure they have the Big Ten Network on their cable system, because they want to see Purdue?
This is why we need a resurgence of both Nebraska and Penn State. They both have large and loyal fan bases, and can draw big numbers nationally when they appear on the big stage in the post season."The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, ..

Alvarez said something like "I want coaches who WANT to be here". Which really means "I want coaches who'll work for below-market salary out of loyalty to the school".
Meanwhile Alvarez is the HIGHEST PAID athletic director in the Big10, or at least was as of a couple years ago.

Agree on the pay, but really...would it take a huge pay raise to draw you to LSU from Wisco? Besides the notions of having better toys and playing for NCs, being a successful DC at LSU is probably a direct path to being HC at a major school. No treacherous stepping-stone stops at Fresno or UConn.Originally posted by Dr. Strangelove View PostComment

Alvarez is satisfied to be The Man in Madison and win the occasional B1G West Division. Bo Schembechler had the same attitude about having coaches "who want to be here," but those days are long gone. Good assistants get paid nowadays. Even a guy like Greg Mattison, who is over 65 and not looking to go anywhere, is handsomely paid.
Aranda goes to LSU:

Alvarez is not a good AD.Comment

Wisky seems to be doing well in many sports... I'm not sure how you'd define good without looking at on the field results.

His stripper wife is probably encouraging him to eat himself to death so she can get paid and not have him on top of her anymore!

The Big12 is having a bowl season that reflects these numbersComment

Every game seems to be non competitive. Is it just dumb luck? It seems some of these teams want go play more than others. I wouldn't want to play Oregon right now. That's for sure.Comment

Ha, TCU somehow came back, but I'm guessing that game lost some viewers after the 31-0 Oregon lead at the half.AAL 2023 - Alim McNeillComment

Biggest comeback in bowl historyComment

Last game of the year (NC Excluding) is worth watching, especially if you don't like defense.
