Thanks alot captain obvious, do you really think that will stop Michigan if Mel is who they want? Not to mention, every year he stays, the buyout decreases...
One also needs to keep in mind that three coaches all getting paid $250 in let's say Houghton, Madison and Denver are earning DRASTICALLY different take home pay. Do they even build $250k homes in Houghton? I think there is a good change you could buy an entire block in Hancock for $250k. Can you even find a home under $250k in Denver? When you're talking that kind of money, where you earn it is huge factor in what it is really worth.
I can understand Q-pac, BC, Union, Yale, even MN State. Denver, OK sure. WMU and Wisconsin are a bit perplexing though, unless you're basing your decision solely on hotness and availability of chicks.
I agree that times are changing for Wisconsin, but they've got a lot of rebuilding to do. Although I also like Wisconsin's new leadership, I think Tech is going to be the stronger program for at least a few more years. I see Wisconsin where Tech was 5 years ago. However, once Wisconsin gets rolling again, they'll easily outcompete Tech for most recruits just based on size and visibility. The question is how long it will take Wisconsin to get rolling again. I think they're off to a good start and I'm looking forward to seeing Tech and Wisconsin play again.
Towards the end there Eaves had recruited some good players and even when things were bad he had good recruits..... I agree with what has been said, It's going to be a battle for wisconsin to get back up to par, and Tech is going to have to have some more playoff appearances before recruits will be coming easier. I think it will be a gradual thing, and it's going to be a ton of real hard work on coach Shuchuk's part.
