I read the stories at your links, does it strike anyone odd that a college football coach would have more than 5 million dollars in assets so that he has to sell his wife the house for a buck as part of estate planning. Does coaching pay that well?

It’s hard to know how well since PSU tried so hard for so long to keep the info secret. Wonder what other kind of payouts PSU has been hiding using that open records loophole.....
his coaching pays well, but what pays even better? Books, speeches, clinics. There is a fortune in Penn State logo items from clothing to shot glasses - many products with JoePa’s likeness.
At Penn State, it sure does. I am sure JoePa was making at least $5 Million per year. That’s what you get when you can convince 110,000 people to watch you work for a large sum of money.
