https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/why-doesnt-iu-football-have-a-top-5-2027-recruiting-class-listen-to-curt-cignettis-words/#google_vignette In this article it says Dolson told On3 that we spent 18m on the national title football roster.

I have no idea about the NIL/donor situation, but IU sure seemed to run out of $$ for basketball. Obviously not the defending NC's, but still a dynamic wing and solid back-up PG & C and we're looking at a likely legit top 15 team. Again, not exactly apples to apples, but not sure the well is as deep as we might hope.

Yeah, piss poor decision making from the top. High performing coaches are few, but easy to model. IU has almost purposely hired the wrong guy because they didn’t want another Bob Knight, bigger than the program guy.

I could see our staff saying they’d rather spread the money around or don’t believe in cutting a massive check for one guy, but I don’t believe for a second that they couldn’t come up with the money with a few phone calls if they really wanted to.

The Tartan Army was great though and even being outnumbered 70/30 they were loud and fun. We got lucky with a cool night in Miami too with temps around 87 when the game started.

On a podcast Cig hinted we were around 25-27mm. OSU, Oregon and Texas were all allegedly in the 40mm range. I absolutely think we could get outbid and/or decide against giving a freshman x percentage of our total “payroll”.

Is it weird to reply to your own post? Nah.. Apparently, it seems a 4 year D2, NAIA or D3 athlete can move up to D1 for a year 5. Talked with a couple coaches and while the player has to be able to offer something, if they can, it could work.

The fact that people think IU can’t win a bidding war still blows my mind. Cuban, Simon-Skjodt, Irsay, Cook… I think that’s at least $20B in net worth. Lord knows how many other millionaires. Then there’s the 800K+ other alumni plus the money that comes along with playing in the B1G. If we miss on Sales, I HIGHLY doubt a lack of funds will be the reason.

You may just be in luck….Do they sell tickets to practice?

I doubt Smith ever plays any meaningful minutes in the NBA. This just seems like some weird attempt by the Pacers to salvage not having a pick in the draft while placating to the Purdue subset of the fanbase.

I feel sorry for Pacer fans that have to watch that POS. Maybe yall get lucky and he stays in the G League or gets traded asap.

I would pay peak WWE PPV prices to watch him try to guard Tyrese. Hell, I’d pay them to watch him try to guard TJ.

The rest of the contenders doing everything they can to get bigger and stronger and the Pacers counter by drafting the literally smallest dude at the combine.

One of these things is not like the other. Crean rebuilt IU from the ashes of Sampsongate, won B1G titles, took us to multiple SW16’s, gave us Yogi, Cody, Vic, Wat, OG, etc. He wasn’t a great basketball mind but he doesn’t belong in the discontent over the abomination of coaching that was CMW or the failure of CAM

Because he, like TJ, is … pale. His other comps are Aaron Craft, Brian Scalabrine, Jordan Hulls, and Chet Holmgren.

Braden Smith sucks man. He flat out sucks. I’m already seeing the TJ McConnell comps. I don’t even like TJ and he’s orders of magnitude better than this dips**t. This franchise drives me insane sometimes.

lol they did

You were saying?

Bingo. Insert Davis. Insert Crean. Insert Archie. Unfortunately, the IU basketball administration isn’t, or hasn’t been, any smarter than the IU message board cheerleaders. Some might say an ominous sign. A failed 25 year experiment, at least.

OH MY GODDDDDDD DJSBAKAKWOSKSNXNSKAAKWODNSNAMSIOWEJDNDJSJAOAAK

THANK GODDDDDD THANK DA BULLLLLSSSS

Breathe, you can point and laugh at the Bulls...unless like every other pick so far he gets traded to the Pacers in 5 minutes.

To say that Scotland was ‘not good’ tonight is an insult to not-goodness.
