I didn’t know there was a lot there. Looks like the parking lot for the old Folklore and Ethnomusicology Building (lol — classic IU). Good parking location, but not sure that’s a tailgate hotspot though…

Hey all. I have a parking pass in the Indiana Ave lot (in the attached picture) for the game Saturday against Illinois. I know exactly where it is, but can’t picture the lot. Is it very big? Is there much of a tailgating scene? Do we need to get there early? Just curious if I should plan on more of a tailgate or just use it to park there and head to bars. Thanks!

College Football Thread
Class of '66 Old Fart replied to Hovadipo's topic in Indiana Hoosiers Football
On3 reports the NCAA has eliminated the spring transfer portal for football. There will be a single transfer portal period; however, when and how long has not yet been determined. If a head coach is fired, the 30-day portal window will still open for players -

My perspective is that the coach's abilities and drive and other intangibles decide very much of the situations. The current situation really does appear to show that IU has tough winners at the top two men's sports head positions. I am pumped.

Yea I don't really disagree. As for the workaround, if almost all schools shifted to doing something like investing in players' companies in lieu of NIL to avoid the clearinghouse, I think we would follow suit since that's probably not technically against any rules (I don't know enough though). I agree we won't do any illegal under the table stuff per our history. We'll see -- NIL Go may just shift to approving almost everything, which may have started to happen recently? The Woody years were just devastating. First off, we hired him, a major setback. Then that darn 4th year he got. The perfect rebuild time was spring 2024 when we were flush with top-5 NIL of $6M and the player market was favorable. We could afford almost anyone in that portal window! And we would have one year of rebuild under our belt going into '25-'26. Instead, Woody literally set that $6M on fire and we just had to rebuild into a much more difficult market this past spring with the rev share coming online increasing player comp 2x, maybe 2.5x. Just terrible. Oh well, it's water under the bridge now. Anyways, thanks for reporting the Rabby info, my antenna are up on the IUBB NIL. I'm not that well-sourced, but the people I know didn't sound too concerned. But, someone told Rabby something likely to get the message out... so we'll see, this could be a serious problem. I suppose it's good we are targeting highly ranked kids and I assume we know how much we need to pay them, but I'm really hoping we don't see any sort of trend of losing recruiting battles due to money. That would stink. Overall, money worries me. We're still fundamentally a fairly small athletic dept. We have some generous billionaires/high net worth folks, but I don't know how much they have left in the tank. That's why I go wild about football, because if we could ever become a midsize football program that will transform our athletic dept financials -- there is athletic dept revenue upside of 20-30% in my view. Fingers crossed our NIL situation is okay and CDD is the guy for the job. I'd rather focus more on the actual games than NIL/rev share/coaching questions.

Unless there has been a drastic change in the mindset of the university and athletic department, a work around isn't an option. We've seen that. It may or may not become an issue, hopefully it doesn't, but the staff seems to be targeting highly ranked recruits that not only will be demanding top dollars but will put IU in direct competition with schools he listed as being willing to spend more NIL. That doesn't give me warm fuzzies. We've already missed on one recruit to either KU or UL because of NIL. IU had a real chance to become a major player in college basketball when NIL was first introduced and IU was way up there in the amount they were willing to spend. Instead, we squandered those years with Woodson as the coach and now we're back to playing it safe.

Updating this long gone thread- my cousin Kim Kohlmeier passed away this morning after a long battle with several issues. While sad, I have been very impressed with the Hoosier family. As soon as the family was called, the next call was to Kent Benson, who said that he would start getting everyone together from the teams Kim managed. Really happy to see that those bonds made in the early to mid 70s are still strong! Not meant to be a sad post at all, just happy that I'm part of such an incredible Hoosier family

Is we assume the definitely real offers here are Thompson, Hill, Gardner, Branham, Lyons and maybe Johnson, I believe every one of them rose, didn’t they? That’s pretty good. -

It's not a 'haves and have nots' as much as it is a sliding scale from the top down. So yes, UK, UL, BYU, etc are at the top, but we're in 'very competitive' status.

He was just saying we don’t have byu uk money, the board is inflating it 10x more than it really is. Just my take on it

Thanks for the info. Not what I want to hear. NIL Go is just something to work around and as we know NIL is still vital to compete. I also wonder how football is trending. **Edit**: For what it’s worth, the few people I know around the AD saw this from Rabby and said no one really knows the exact NIL levels and they aren’t too worried. We shall see…

No doubt in my mind that Patberg is working it hard. She has an infections personality (and energy) that is really an asset
