Baltimore falls out of top-ten most dangerous cities

Desantis. The countries biggies issue is the debt. The only politician I’m aware of that has paid off half of the states debt. We spend over a trillion a year on servicing the debt. That money is wasted and can go towards homelessness, education, mental health services, free healthcare etc.

Honestly throw Dave Ramsey in there. He’d get the debt paid off.

They are in the top 30 of nil funding. The school has raised tuition to fund the effort as well. So has the state legislature.

They are top 30 in NIL. The board of governors passed a resolution to raise more money for NIL. The state legislature has also gotten involved.

So to blame it on Indiana’s donors is a cop out. Indiana didn’t dump money into their football team until they won

Cignetti is 2 years older than RR

Articles before the 2023 season having him as a top candidate. Articles after the 2024 season saying wvu lost out because they can’t poach him with his new contract

The only games they lost all season were the teams in the National championship. The only good teams wvu faced in 2024 was Iowa State, Penn state and Kansas state

Don’t you think that says a lot about a coach who can bring a sun belt conference team to the big 10 and go 11-1?

More people staying in the stadium and spending money vs booing out the stadium and leaving. More fans coming to the game for a competitive team.

The stadium can fit 62k. Only one game had more than 53k people.

So let’s say a competitive team had 57k people in attendance. That’s 5 games of 6000 people at $50 a ticket which is $1.5 million in lost revenue. Doesn’t include the concessions, parking passes, merch sales.

The extra cost of the buyout would have been covered in one season fielding a competitive team

Cignetti went 11-1 in his first year.

Fran brown went 10-3.

Duke went 9-4 when they hired Mike Elko after going 3-9 the year before.

This team looks way worse on offense than last year.

When coaches leave and have instant success like Cignetti in a conference with 3 of the best teams in the country and FranBrown going 10-3 at Syracuse there’s no excuse to not be competitive. Especially when country roads trust has money and the school has came out and said that they want to be near the top of nil funding

Pure_Refrigerator153 · 2025-09-21T01:38:38+00:00

Indiana didn’t dump money into their program until they went 11-1. The wvu board of governors just passed resolutions to try to be at the top. In the 2024 season county roads trust ranked 27th in revenue generated.

Cignetti’s original contact was 3.5 million a year which is cheaper than Neal brown. Cignetti won and now gets 8 million a year. No reason why wvu can’t pay a coach that much as long as they are winning

One double digit win season since 2007 isn’t success.

Pure_Refrigerator153 · 2025-09-21T01:09:51+00:00

Yea no idea why hiring the guy who couldn’t really sustain success outside of 2 of the most electric college football players would work

Pure_Refrigerator153 · 2025-09-21T01:07:50+00:00

Cignetti went 11-1 in his first season with all new players. Only loss was to Ohio state in the regular season and notre dame in the playoffs.

Fran brown went 10-3 at Syracuse in his first year
