    We should take it waaaay back These might look too much like prison uniforms, so maybe Louisville can adopt it instead. So, perhaps these others will do...

    I think they all need a "MSB" patch ironed on
  8. No doubt. But i'd say that's the right stance for the trustees to take. Quinn Buckner is one of the Board members too, so there is a voice to champion athletics in that group.
  9. That's exactly right. I was working at IU during the time, and the slip in rankings had a lot to do with that change, and on top of that the ranking systems are inconsistent and don't include every significant or critical pieces of info. The rankings are obviously super important and potential students and news articles use that to build the reputation of the school. But it also makes it important for the university to play the system to adjust their statistics in certain areas that the ranking system uses to assess them. So IU or other schools might not be doing things in their best interest, but instead playing the ranking game to get to the top of the list. Not a real indicator of success, really has to do with how the student uses the opportunities presented to them, and IU has a TON of opportunities. new intelligent systems engineering program, media school, etc. are big advancements for IU that have all come under McRobbie. They will pay dividends for the uni going forward, but they are still in their infancy and not sure if they even have graduated any regular 4 year degree seekers from those programs.
  10. IU Athletics is in no way hurting for $. Income from tv contracts, apparel contracts, ticket sales, and donations/gifts provides athletics with more than most other programs (top 30 likely). The capital campaigns and all new facilities and upgrades (and salaries) we've seen in the last 10 years is a testament to that. Is Rabjohns arguing that McRobbie isn't providing enough financial support from the university? I wouldn't think that there are any $ issues for athletics, and I don't think that's the main cause of his concern. btw, i didn't listen to the podcast above, so just assuming here. Those at the uni definitely follow the directive from MAM though, so for him to not make athletics a priority does trickle down in the amount of effort, hiring, and accountability of athletics programs. McRobbie isn't going to change his priorities at this point however. The For All bicentennial campaign is coming to a close in the summer of 2020, and his retirement will come shortly after. A new president of IU will be chosen, and if the university and public want a president who shifts more of his/her limited time, energy, and resources towards athletics, we as fans need to make that clear before another individual is chosen to lead.

    Took me longer to find this than i'd like to admit, but looks like Grant Gelon is now playing at Trinity International University https://tiutrojans.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=4199 "Prior to TIU: Played sophomore season at State Fair Community College … played in 14 games, averaged 10.6 points … played freshman season at Indiana University playing in 12 games, averaging 1.8 points … attended Crown Point (IN) High School … he was named to the Indiana All-Star team following his senior year when he averaged 14.5 points and shot 41.8 percent from behind the arc … led Crown Point to back-to-back regional final appearance, while earning Associated Press High Honorable Mention All-State accolades as a senior … averaged 17.5 points per game as a junior, made 102 3-point field goals and shot 44 percent from behind the 3-point line."

  13. I’ll be there about 3pm. Think I’ll be able to avoid the balcony? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. Nah not really. Other post above said “two words. Not good.”, makes me think that it’s, well, bad. Haha. I’m just surprised they released a statement without reasoning, not sure how often programs do that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Short lived student chants at a game do nothing. Children and families attending don’t need to hear the profanities in AH. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  17. So, is this something that’s going to be kept secret? If it’s something truly atrocious, then I would rather know then have the program sweep under the rug Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hope he does well down there. He could be a very competitive recruiter against other SEC schools.
