Yep. I think it's going to be a positive that football is setting a high standard that basketball will be measured against. For once in IUBB's history they're not the biggest show in town and they will need to earn fan interest, attention, and resources much more than in past years. That means no excuses, winning, and getting better during the season and year over year.

Yea, it's got to be coming. Some guesses for fun: - Cig is at $9M/yr. Pump that up to $12.5-13.5M so he's going from just outside the top-10 to #1 or #2. Allocate another $2-3M to the staff pool so we can do all we can to keep key guys ( notably Haines and Kuntz) or hire their replacements if they take promotions. I am sure there are others who are very important. - Pump up the football NIL budget by $7-8M+, even if that means selling parts of campus. We've got a whole new universe of higher level talent interested in IU now that they have seen use make the playoff and do things like win at Oregon. But, these players are more expensive and we've got to pay their market rates. It will be hard to get intel on what's happening with NIL, but something like this is important behind the scenes. - Announce something with the stadium renovation. Exactly what I don't care, but it's time for suites and a new press box, a new PA/sound system, stuff like that. We've got that private equity money coming to help. Scott has been all over this. He identified Cig, convinced him to come here, exceed his first season NIL commitment (and probably second season), didn't wait on new staff contracts/raises last year and got them done mid-season, and did additional raises for Haines and Owings to help keep them here. That's a good track record and I expect Scott, Pam, and others are going to keep doing what they have been doing.

Why can't you be excited for both at the same time, it is called multi tasking

Another thing has changed in Bloomington. Unlike in most (almost all) past years during this time of year in October hardly anyone is so excited, anxious or so looking forward to basketball season. Basketball season can wait.

Scott Dolson was on the Big Red Carpet tonight. He mentions being very busy since the Oregon game as an athletic department as they cannot get complacent and need to make sure everything keeps rolling. It sure sounded like he was implying that they were going to ensure that Curt Cignetti wouldn't be going anywhere. Wouldn't be surprised to see some sort raise and another extension for Cig announced in the next couple weeks.

IMO, Matt Campbell would be the home run hire they are looking for. PSU definitely an upgrade in every way over ISU. He was born and raised in Ohio, so knows the area. As is the case with most things in life, would have to have the wife on board for this to happen.

That makes sense, actually. If it worked otherwise, the cream of the crop could be long gone before the new coach is even selected. Unfortunately for us. -

Article I read made it sound like permanent. Made it sound like Players can’t transfer from Penn State mid season. Which matches what we are seeing tons of kids have decomitted but nobody has said they are entering transfer portal or intend to enter -

I hate these types of conversations. Different players at different times. AT was an awesome player. I loved watching him and believe he should have won the best player that year. Fisher is the heartbeat of this years defense and also a great player. Can we just celebrate what each of them brings/brought to their respective teams without comparing them? I love what each of them brought to their respective teams. -

For clarification, is that the interim HC or the permanent one? -
Indiana has beaten more top 10 teams in the last 30 days than Penn State has in the last 9 seasons. Why would he go to Penn State?

You can tell Nick Saban is retired because if he was still coaching at Alabama Franklin would already be on the staff there as some sort of consultant.

Our assistant coaches make big bucks. Doubt they have forgotten what happened to Tino in 4 games. Life’s pretty good in Bloomington!

Just read that the transfer window doesn’t open until a new head coach is announced. Not when the coach is fired. No poaching of Penn State mid season sadly.
