No! Egg him on. This is entertaining lol

Experience? Isn't that what you're belittling as you promote your own "common sense" instead? You have no experience/knowledge on how donations work, but you've convinced yourself that your ideas are correct

Your common sense isn't as common as you think. But you've won me over with your big brain ideas. We should definitely fire Dolson and hire you! Your pretend scenarios are definitely the way to go

Lol. But seriously, what experience/knowledge do you have in this area? Or are you just going off your own guesses? I notice you've never answered this so I assume you're just shooting from the hip?

Lol, do you bro. Your scenarios you create in your head seem great! Go Hoosiers

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.

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.

But it could not be allocated elsewhere. That's not how large donations work.

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

It seems like a lot of money to you I'm sure. It's not to others.

So just one season longer than you realistically believe. Ehhh, I'm not seeing anything fireable there.

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.

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?

If he crippled us with a $20M extension, but then raises $20M to negate it, was there ever a crippling at all?

And I think that 6-1 was with our Peyton Ramsey

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?

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

Is he fired now? How about now? Now?

It sure would motivate this team if they knew it would be Tom Allen's last game

**** Purdump. **** the Purdumpsters. **** their crappy team. **** whoever their new crappy coach is. **** their smelly nerd fans. **** em all

Yes I did. But in fairness I was drunk the entire time. I don't remember that saying at all

Lock your jaw? Banana peels and parachutes? What is going on in here? I'm so ******* lost
