This has got to be stacked against the school
We want Franklin, but Sexton wants money. He would be just as happy with a better offer for Franklin and the highest offer possible from VT for a coach from the the next down tier of coaches.
How do you really fight that? If we say x date or we are moving on, who do we move on to? The same agent, sitting in the same seat. Is that really moving on?
Is Sexton saying to VT, "your new money puts you to where you will eat next, after the P2/bluebloods are filled. Be patient, I will get you a good one for who you are." If so he is already controlling where we go and who we can seriously negotiate with. Our only option against the Sexton scenario is to go to a coach not represented by Sexton. But do we really feel any of those are what we need?

At this point, Diaz or Chesney would work just as well for me.**
