Pretty insecure thinking. In most jobs, you are always worth more to the


other guy, company, school or team. I hire many young people every year and always tell them 1)they are worth more on the outside and 2)you must decide when to move or stay. The play is always long term vs short term. I may give you a 10% pay increase, but the firm down the street may give you 30% to leave. You must ask which is going to get you to your ultimate goal and provide more benefit in the long run.

In KD situation, the price has not been what he was apparently offered, and he did not become worth that amount until he was offered the new amount. Now Whit, who was aware ISU was talking with KD, has the opportunity to counter. Then KD can make a decision that is best for KD. Don't over complicate the issue. If he stays- great. If he leaves - sorry to see him go, but wish him well as he has been great building a program after Brand decimated it.

If he pulls a brand and takes VT wrestlers with him, then diss him all you want because that shows no class. I don't think KD is another Brand.

Also give some credit to Coach Jerry Cheynet. He was the long term Soccer and Wrestling coach for many years and held both of these programs together when we got virtually no money from the school (I played soccer for him and my roommate wrestled for him). He is a great guy and neither program would be were it is today if not for his tireless support during the lean years when we played soccer up on chicken hill.

Be happy for our current success, offer well wishes and thanks to KD if he leaves(unless he pulls a brand), and support whoever Whit hires.
