Correct, he actually said he enjoyed Duke.

Isn't he from Pennsylvania or something?

NJ.
He played college ball up the road from PSU at Penn.
It never hurts to listen to all offers—regardless of how seemingly ideal your current situation is.
That said, Elko has a pretty sweet gig where he is.

And it’s so obvious that Texas A&M is a better job than Duke, PSU, and most other schools that he didn’t feel the need to spell it out for the reporters.

Google, X, and any number of website hits say that Sexton is Elko's agent. Elko going to be making more than $10M next year. Only real question is where

Why the frick would he go to Penn St

Penn State could never muster the salary, facilities, fan support, or NIL money that Texas A&M can. The only reason that I can think of is to be closer to home; however, if his parents are still alive in Jersey, he has more than enough money to move them to College Station.

That’s not how it came across. It was more like he was flabbergasted that he was even being asked about it.

Everything but the facilities they could never touch that but if you don’t know that Penn State could get all the rest of the stuff together then you don’t know Penn State very well

What makes A&M a better job than Penn State? Please enlighten me.

SEC vs Big Ten.
We are climbing, Penn State is in shambles.

Also,

Pedo State.

Among other things.

Only in facilities
Aggie has better facilities than you and Penn state

But Penn state can match salary, fan support, etc., with Texas and Texas A&M

I mean their fans and their administration did their best to cover up and hide the rape of children to protect the football program and football coach


Not even you pervs would do that in Austin

Seems like a +1 for Penn State to me. Guaranteed playoff spot every year.

I’m sure Elko doesn’t look at it this way.

I mean he already looked past A&Ms weird traditions.

Nobody knows what Elko will do. This discussion is moot if his team doesn't finish the season without falling off a cliff

Name one coach that went from a team that has the NIL, facilities, etc. that A&M does and was top ten for two seasons in a row to a Big Ten school that lost to 0-4 Nico and UCLA en route to a 4-3 start.

One coach has chosen to step down from the Texas A&M head football coach position in the history of the university.

Elko is not going to Penn State.

Google AI and TexAgs have failed me.

On3 says Clint Dowdle is Elko's agent.

I'm sure both Dowdle and Sexton would like for Elko to get a huge raise, though.
