Magnanimous

It's been on record that this stemmed from a completely unrelated/non-sports investigation. They weren't looking for it.

This fell into the FBI's lap after nailing someone on Wall Street for an unrelated matter who decided to talk. NCAA was not involved.

FWIW, some students are taking empty seats on the west side. Night and day difference in sunshine.

How is his athleticism in relation to Christian's?

Glass wouldn't have scheduled them if it didn't qualify. Plus given we had to make a schedule change mid season, there would likely be extinuating circumstances anyway.

Lagow is being weened out for Ramsey. He isn't going to lose the starting job after one game, but he isn't going to be taking all of the snaps next week either. He must be practicing a lot better than Ramsey at this point, which is what a lot of coaches put stock into as much as game tape. Lagow will have a short leash next week and Ramsey will play regardless.

Ramsey opens up the run game with his option ability. Lagow isn't leading IU to anything of substance his year.

Ramsey looks like a Trace McSorley clone.

The Big Ten is preparing to potentially go to 20 conference games starting next season. This announcement would follow the ACC's decision to go to 20 conference games for the 19-20 season. Link

He wouldn't be seeing the court until 2018 regardless. You think he'd be better off playing high school this year? That scholly wasn't getting used. It's already been said multiple times, and he'll be better off than coming in new next year.

Vic is one of the few players they could've got at this point who would actually stay in Indy. Thunder may very well lose George next year. What would you guys want, another Artest for Peja deal where he's gone in a year?

I talked to him for a bit after the 07 bucket game after rushing the field. He was on top of the world and you could see the amount of pride he had in his eyes leading IUFB to its 13th game in honor of Coach Hep and of what was to come with his NFL journey. It's a tragedy how quickly things went downhill for him. RIP #82. You were a Hoosier great.

Media gigs count, so if he becomes an analyst for a year that would also knock off some of the buyout.

There is plenty of incentive to being a clean program, but zero incentive to comply with self-reporting.

I didn't realize Archie took the Kentucky job.

That's a stretch and a half. Lets see how they first do being coached by someone who has actually played basketball.

Well if IU actually had a former player who could be the savior we "finally bring home" I'm sure it would've happened. Unfortunately, we don't have someone who won nine conference titles and made four Final Fours like Roy Williams did at Kansas. Maybe after Will Sheehey leads Arizona State to three consecutive championships in 30 years we'll give him a call when Archie hangs it up.

Any "winning" Crean accomplished and would have accomplished in the future could be described as sporadic at best based on watching how his teams play (no defense, crappy offensive schemes, lack of fundamentals, turnovers, etc.).

Too many people here are acting like those spoiled little s***s on that my super sweet 16 show who got a car for their birthday and threw a fit that it wasn't a pink corvette. Still a huge upgrade.

For anyone questioning the state of the IU job because of us hiring Miller and not a bigger name, I have to ask if any of the other top college jobs opened up right now (UNC, KU, UK, Louisville, UCLA) and none of them could pull Donovan or Stevens, what would their coaching candidates look like? (save Duke because of Collins). I don't see Few ever leaving Gonzaga, and going forward I don't see that much of a dropoff between Archie and Marshall, S. Miller or Mack.

If not him then who? It's all about timing. The timing was that Crean definitely needed to go and miller was one of the best coaching prospects on the market.

That east coast students were ruining IU

This thread could just as easily be painfully renamed where would we be if Oden and Conley came.

Archie would be at OSU, UK, or UNC within the next decade if this didn't happen. We've got our guy.
