And I think those 3 games were by a combined 16 points.

Agreed, but something tells me Joel would spend more time thinking of a package deal they could both cash in on and escape town before he’d think of locking him up for KSU. And let’s face it, Coach Lewis will be in demand and we can’t afford to get in a bidding war. Despite having the highest paid AD in the MAC by quite a bit, there’s FCS programs that pay more than our staff gets.

The Indians can’t lock up Lindor and Kent can’t lock up a coach a big time program wants. Even with the $150,000 Nielsen is overpaid. I’m just hoping some big time program doesn’t take him this off season. Someone might think it’s worth the gamble.
