    Living in Carroll

    It's a community of about 10,000 people. Very nice, clean town, 2 high schools, progressive hospital, and fairly prosperous. Carroll has a very low unemployment percentage, but I think it's a little slow this time of year. Do you have any special training or talents? Again, very nice community!

    Why is Mac not the main recruiter?

    I also believe that the head coaches have some contact restrictions that assistants don't.

    Life Insurance

    While I agree that whole life on paper probably isn't the best investment strictly from a financial standpoint, sometimes it make sense because later on in life you may not be able to buy insurance. If for some reason your health precludes you from qualifying, the whole life is in place for the...

    What company makes the best Jerseys?

    A lot of it depends on what you want it for. If you're just buying 1 to buy a jersey, they will all serve the purpose. If you're outfitting a team, then you need to decide if they're strictly game jerseys or if you are using them for practice. All of the brands that you mention have quality...

    The Big 14?

    A couple of things. First the buy in is going to be heafty! Secondly, everyone talks like Missouri is a given. Where does that come from? And thirdly, I think there are more things in play here financially than we know about. They are in a position of power. They don't have to do this, so there...

    6 turned down Notre Dame job?

    With all of the coaches having agents anymore, there is very little contact directly witht the coaches. Plus now you have all of the "head hunters" who do all of the hookups so no one has any exposure if they don't want it.

    6 turned down Notre Dame job?

    I call BS on that! He may have actually been the only one that was given a contract, as the others all declined interest in the position.

    Recruiting Iowans

    I don't think that you can say that Iowa didn't want a kid like Lenz. I think they would have liked to have had him, they just didn't have a scholarship for him. But you're right in the fact that they probably would have loved to have him walk on. That's the beauty of the 85 limit, no one can...

    Recruiting Iowans

    If I'm not mistaken, the head coaches are restricted to how many visits they can make etc. So the idea of CPR spending inordinate amounts of time recruiting instate doesn't work. It's got to come from being competitive and winning certainly plays into that. But the real anwser is that the staff...

    What do we do to change our luck??

    I think it's pretty simple, we need to improve our talent level and continue to add depth! I think we have quality coaches and scemes, it's more about the overall developement of the "team".

    Athletic Donations

    But they are playing it for much more money. Also, if playing at home helps you get to a bowl game, then you more than offset the money with ticket sales and bowl revenue.

    Athletic Donations

    OK, there's a big difference between 1.8M and 3M. If you sell 50,000 tickets at $40 ea. that's 2M. I realize that you have some expenses against that. But you also have expenses going to KC. Meals, travel, rooms, and other ancillary items that are too numerous to mention. Sooooo, I have trouble...

    Athletic Donations

    I just have trouble rationalizing moving the game to KC. You make it tough on the locals to attend, plus drive up their cost of travel. You make it a neutral site vs at least 1 home game. And, you take a lot of money out of the pockets of the local businesses. And those businesses are the ones...

    A little birdie told me

    A little birdie told me that Kohler is going to attend Grinnell College and play baseball. All I can say is that I'm a little shocked.

    Giving credit when and where credit is due...

    The problem is that some of the schedules are made so many years in advance that by the time you play them, you have no idea how good they're going to be.
