No reason to change unless one of those companies makes a much better offer. Or a new company makes their way into the fold. Looking at you, big baller brand!

Lavar just doing exactly what the shoe companies are doing right out in the open; making his athletes rich and directing them to the accommodating programs. He's an interesting character openly challenging the NCAA like he has. I respect it.

Head coaches know everything that goes on with their program, AD's know everything that goes on within their department, and university presidents know everything to happens at their university. Tone at the top either allows or prevents cheating and misconduct of this complexity at all levels. Everyone in the chain of command is complicit in this, in my opinion.

I completely agree. If your name is on the door, then you own what happens there. End of discussion.

Yeah. I think he knew exactly what he was doing by running his mouth and saying outlandish stuff. It is eccentric but I bet he is much more wealthy now than he was when he started. He's kind of a genius, in a way, and I definitely respect it

They do, though it'll be weird to see basketball players wearing soccer or track cleats.

When I was a kid, Red Ball Jets made me run a little faster and jump a little higher. :D

And don't forget Keds and P.F. Flyers...

I get the point. Crean has already been commended for running a clean program. Ask yourself this question. In light of the recruiting misses that crean had, would you now take crean back and send Archie back to Dayton? If not, why not? The reason why not is our point. I'm not saying his recruiting wasn't at a disadvantage. I just believe his coaching put us at more of a disadvantage than his recruiting recruiting ever did. If anyone disagrees, and would like to bring crean back and get rid of archie, then maybe we should start a thread so you can tell me why. I'm not saying anymore about it on this thread. I'm of the opinion that his fallacies as a coach outweigh any recruiting issues he had by playing fair. If everybody wants to give him double bonus points, then fine...but is still Not Good Enough to coach IU

I really liked Crean and appreciate what he did for the program. But, he would have had to pay millions to recruits to overcome his shortcomings as a coach.
