  1. Lol, do you bro. Your scenarios you create in your head seem great! Go Hoosiers
  2. Have you ever been involved in large fundraising? Or been a trustee of any kind? If so you work with different donors than I. Usually if you need money to apply to X, you know to contact X group of people. If you need money for Y, you contact Y group of people. There is little willingness for these groups to spend their money in other endeavors than their stated interests. And if you keep asking X donors to spend their money on Y, you turn off these donors. Again, just from my experiences. You sound like you have different experiences than I or you're just completely guessing.
  3. No, not at all. Usually there are a group of people who will donate specifically to athletic endeavors and a group who donates specifically to research, a group that donates specifically to facilities...etc. They give their donations with specific rules on how you can use their money. It would be an incredibly poor decision to take money earmarked for one project and spend it on another instead. I've never been able to get large donor to give money anywhere except where they want it to go. If you have you're better than me or any trustee I've ever known.
  4. But it could not be allocated elsewhere. That's not how large donations work.
  5. Fair enough. Allen really pooped the bed. For a few reasons I suppose. I just don't think Dolson has done anything fireable. Go Hoosiers
  6. It seems like a lot of money to you I'm sure. It's not to others.
  7. So just one season longer than you realistically believe. Ehhh, I'm not seeing anything fireable there.
  8. Most large donations are donated for specific reasons. You can't just use the money for whatever you like, the donor says exactly what they want it used for. If a couple big donations come in to fire Allen, but wouldn't have come in otherwise, then you're really not using facility money to fire a coach.
  9. I'm fully out on hiring Randle-El. But Dolson hasn't done that, so I won't hold it against him. The poor results these last couple years are on Allen alone. When did you want him fired exactly?
  10. If he crippled us with a $20M extension, but then raises $20M to negate it, was there ever a crippling at all?
  11. And I think that 6-1 was with our Peyton Ramsey
  12. I understand Dolson to be good at fund raising, so good for him for raising that money. And good for him for firing Archie. I know plenty of people who wanted to give him more time instead of moving on. What do you think he should have done differently in his short tenure?
  13. Fired Archie! One of the brightest days in IU basketball in 20 years

    I want to win as bad as anybody, it's out of my hands. I'm sure there's some context there but woof

    Lock your jaw? Banana peels and parachutes? What is going on in here? I'm so ******* lost
  20. Should we add Tom Crean to the list? Currently unemployed, no buyout to have to pay, football family.

    Shaquille Leonard released. Man, Darius Leonard was dominant. Shaq Leonard was bad. I expect him to clear wavers.
