They made the offer, he can accept or reject but they want him to make a decision one way or the other and if he visits our campus they will know his heart ain't in it at WSU.

I have no idea if you get him or not, but this seems like a bad move by WSU. For one thing, surely they don't expect him to stay forever, and secondly it robs him of an opportunity to consider other things while still feeling secure. Would i be sweating if I were them, absolutely, but i wouldn't let that blind me and make a silly stand. what if he goes and doesn't like it, then they've screwed themselves for no reason.

WSU may have painted themselves into a corner, but I was told they gave him an offer to stay - they want him to take it of course.
