worse you're not even smart enough to recognize it after you have been spoonfed the answers trying to help you out. Before you say someone else is not a math guy, it would be wise if you could prove you were. Since you are such a bright math guy focused on protecting the $50MM in your pocket earned over the next six years perhaps you can explain how you would protect the $108MM from the $18MM per year you threw out in your original post that started this thread and spawned your original net zero claim?

Franklin to Virginia Tech? -- rnorm7 Nov 09, 2025 at 05:08 PM ET

His PSU buyout is irrelevent -- Beerman Nov 06, 2025 at 01:34 PM ET

You guys are looking at it from VT’s perspective. -- Hardcore_Hokie Nov 06, 2025 at 01:37 PM ET

It's my understanding if Franklin sits back and does nothing ... -- Atlee Hokie Nov 06, 2025 at 04:37 PM ET

Atlee Hokie • 11/06/25 04:37 PM ET

Yeah, so get a job with ESPN or B1G Network and collect your $50 Million.** -- Hardcore_Hokie Nov 07, 2025 at 03:04 PM ET

Not the point. Franklin has $50M in his back pocket. -- Hardcore_Hokie Nov 06, 2025 at 11:52 AM ET

does that make his ### look big?** -- bigbadbird Nov 06, 2025 at 12:25 PM ET

He could certainly take a broadcasting gig, but if there is known demand -- reestuart Nov 06, 2025 at 12:09 PM ET

We got Sexton'ed. If we hire him, I'd bet on less than Cignetti at $11.6M -- BG Hokie Nov 06, 2025 at 11:14 AM ET

BG Hokie • 11/06/25 11:14 AM ET

$11million > $8.5 million. Why would he take less?** -- hokieincville2 Nov 06, 2025 at 11:09 AM ET

hokieincville2 • 11/06/25 11:09 AM ET

Penn State would love VT picking up their tab.** -- Hardcore_Hokie Nov 06, 2025 at 11:15 AM ET

And we will, if he says yes. 8 figures, for sure.** -- BG Hokie Nov 06, 2025 at 11:18 AM ET

Franklin has lots of options… -- DoubleHokie Nov 06, 2025 at 10:32 AM ET

DoubleHokie • 11/06/25 10:32 AM ET

Franklin doesn’t have as many options as he’d like us to believe -- Hokiefied Nov 06, 2025 at 11:38 AM ET

Hokiefied • 11/06/25 11:38 AM ET

He has options, but I'm not sure there's a bidding war for him right now.** -- marcbvtgm Nov 06, 2025 at 11:33 AM ET

Franklin isn't taking less guaranteed money than the PSU buyout. -- reestuart Nov 06, 2025 at 11:30 AM ET

reestuart • 11/06/25 11:30 AM ET

It makes sense because of the following fact: Sought after coaches have ALL -- BG Hokie Nov 06, 2025 at 11:19 AM ET

BG Hokie • 11/06/25 11:19 AM ET

Oh man, horrible math. $11M/yr would basically take PSU… -- Hardcore_Hokie Nov 06, 2025 at 11:14 AM ET
