In what way is hiring Franklin a gimmick? That's beyond silly.

Who was higher profile at time of hire? Pathetic? Bizarre response.**

It's pathetic because Franklin isn't THAT big of a name.

I think PSU will be fine. VT will improve immensely right away.**

PSU will be fine. VT will likely improve modestly and then tread water.
