schoosier

He could not stand Loudo Henson for the same reason. The coaches all know who’s cheating just look at the FBI transcripts. My God Creighton was involved in this cesspool. That’s all you need to hear the NCAA has lost all control. Everyone seems to have sources except IU and our compliance dept ratting us out for excessive mileage lol.

I really can’t hate on the Watfords or any other top recruit who goes with the highest bidder. We’ve seen thru the academic cheating scandal and now thru the FBI investigation that the NCAA will not do anything. So why not take the $ now? The chances of the majority of these top recruits getting paid in the league are get narrower as the competition gets tougher. Don’t hate these players, hate the game(NCAA).

Do we still have 2 schollies to give for 19? I could see us banking 1 but why not get a couple grad transfers? We still need outside shot help so find a couple shooters and hope that one can contribute. We need to win now.

I would be happy with that as well as them not poaching some of our best talent. Michigan St will take a big drop also when Izzo hangs it up also. If Archie can get it rolling we are poised to have a great decade hopefully.

Matta played for a NC so Holtman has a ways to go to be his equal. He has done very well though.

Agree 100% and the NCAA is always asleep at the wheel unless you self report.

I love input from older poster than myself so thank you. I would love your input as to why IU wasn’t better our only year with Big Mac. Especially with Downing in the front court? What was your take on Lou Watson the coach and compare him to our run of coaches not getting over the hurdle?

Sorry to say this, but until we are willing to do what UK, UNC, Duke as well as everyone else; we will continue to have subpar results on the court or football field. The academic cheating by UNC who was turned in by a professor no less; is the perfect example of the governing institution not willing to punish one of its top schools. The NCAA is supposed to make sure athletes are educated. By doing relatively nothing, they are saying it’s alright to give paper diplomas. I believe in the very near future we will see the power 5 conferences brak from the NCAA to start their own governing body. I cannot wait for that to happen.

Yep just like Duke does but not Coach K or UNC and Roy. The head coach never gets their hands dirty only their assistants and bag men. My recollection is one of Sampson’s assistants left for Michigan. One Tom Crean wasn’t to fond of.

Duke does what they do. They have resources. UNC is UNC. Cheaters win in big time college athletics. That’s why IU hasn’t won in 20 years and why we will continue to not win. Unless we do what everyone else does. Indiana has the resources too.

Lol Michigan unwilling to play the $ game. Outside of Ohio St, they’re probably the best at it in the Big.

I would like to see us sign some of these recruits, but Archie hasn’t proved he can win yet. Plus, at Indiana he will have to go to class. I’m not implying Harris isn’t a good student, but every top recruit thinks he’s going to the next level. Maybe we should play up the next level will be in corporate USA not the NBA.

I cannot speak about Bloomington’s cuisine as it has been decades since my last visit. But I can assure you the Chapel Hill area does not take a back seat when it comes to food.

Welcome aboard Joey! That gut feeling of an eminent commit from last Saturday I had wasn’t the coffee after all.

I’m feeling a Brunk commit coming anytime. Or it’s just my morning coffee working on me.

Hope he got a lump sum payment vs the standard payment unless he’s hired someone else to offset. I think he should have gotten more time at UCLA but whatever. Also, just watched the 87 final four game against UNLV in a high scoring barn burner. Everyone said we couldn’t run with the runnin rebels but we shut up all the detractors including Billy Packer by the end of the game. Also funny to see Bob Knight at his nicest I’ve ever witnessed. Good stuff for you youngins to watch. At halftime Knight mentions in 16 years at IU only 2 players hadn’t graduated. What other blue blood could say that?

I guess that answers the question of if he had the chance of a do over.

On a positive note at least our boisterous fans have all their teeth. Just look a little further south with similarities other than what I mentioned.

1 year at IU what the hell else you gonna do? Too many and too little time. It takes 2 willing participants to make this happen unless you play b-ball at Mich St.

A perfect example of another reason our administration has failed miserably for 20 years. Knights firing and the bs no tolerance policy started it and Creans extension pretty much bookends the last 2 decades of IU b-ball. Getting a president that understands the importance of athletics and hiring an SEC AD would help get this sleeping giant turned around quickly.

True.

If someone has to win from Tobacco Road, VA is definitely my choice. Hitting clutch shots and free throws proved they were the champs. Plus IU gets a couple extra low blows knowing both Guy and Bennett said no to us. Both had good reasons but you get my point.

3-0 in National Championship games and his players were students first and never bought and paid for. Wooden had Sam Gilbert and Coach K had Nike and jewelry loans. UNC had paper classes so that takes Coca Cola Roy and Dean out of the equation. If you had one game to win, Knight is #1 with a bullet. 2nd on my list is Everett Case. Not for his wins and championships even though he had many, but he’s responsible for Tobacco Road b-ball, the ACC tourney and March Madness, as well as cutting down the nets. This Hoosier stole that tradition from IN high school b-ball, but his innovation can be directly linked to why college b-ball has become so popular and great. Without him the Tar Heel State would still consider football #1.

Don’t take this the wrong way, but if you or any other posters don’t care; why are you posting on this topic? I post about wanting him back and another poster says I’m trying to spin it lol. I’m convinced the curse is real, so maybe him coming back to IU even for baseball; will lift it. I just hope we get to honor him the way it should be.

Sorry but I don’t see any spin on my post. If you don’t think there’s any vitriol on both sides, just pull up any topic related to him on BTown. I just want this curse exorcised.
