In response to PennFan10
TA is, in part, responsible for the the dramatic rise in talent level throughout the IL over the past few years, coupled with the more generous financial aid now available. Unfortunately, the "rising tide" has favored a few schools more than others. But, even with his star-studded freshmen, TA hasn't demonstrated that he has anything on the Ps or yale. There is little reason IMHO to believe that his stock will rise any farther going forward if he remains at h. In addition, it doesn't appear that, whenever it opens up, TA has any edge on the Dook job. So, that leaves him with the decision to either a) settle into a long, secure tenure in Cambridge at a comfortable, but not eye-popping pay rate or, b) cash in for a few years at another level. The longer he stays at h, the more he "gives up" in big compensation, and the deeper his personal and family ties become in Cambridge. Maybe h will even give him an honorary "h" sweater for his "sacrifice"
