Who knows, maybe IU will turn into a football school and we're all focused on CFP banners! Lol!

Yeah, I don't think you and I are on the same page regarding IUBB. I've already posted here where I stand on letting CMW go.

And while being banished to DII for his shade at Iowa he ended up having Person/Pearl like shade with Rick Herdes at USI. This article does a decent job giving his coaching shade career timeline. https://www.sbnation.com/college-basketball/2019/4/4/18295241/bruce-pearl-final-four-timeline-infractions-auburn-lowa-deon-thomas-wire-milwaukee-violations Pearl will indeed put his shade fingerprint on any program he coaches, that's just who he is. It's just a matter if you care or not that IUBB get's the Pearl tarnish. To each his own.

If you're cool with controversy and shade being tied to IUBB then there isn't any risk, because it will happen with Pearl. IUBB really has been a clean sheet or prides itself on that. Historically, it wins/won the right way. Landing the right coach is just a matter of time.

Just my opinion but Bruce Pearl is not IUBB. His entire coaching history is shade. I have no problem saying this having experienced him walking around campus during the golden years at USI. Dolson would be taking the biggest risk for the program should he decide to him.

I'm not a betting man but if I did, I'd smash that over button! From the article: In ESPN's Bill Connelly SP+ rankings – which accounts for returning production, recent recruiting success, recent history, and is a predictive measure of the most sustainable and predictable aspects of football, not a résumé ranking – ranks Indiana 90th in the nation with a -8.3 SP+ rating. More specifically, Indiana has a 20.8 offensive SP+ rating (102nd), a 29.1 defensive SP+ rating (66th) and a special 0.1 special teams SP+ rating (63rd). 90. Indiana -8.3 20.8 (102) 29.1 (66) 0.1 (63) 2023 Ranking 92. Indiana (3-9) -7.4 19.6 (105) 27.2 (73) 0.3 (63) IUFB's offense will be ranked in the top 50 or close to it this year. And if the defense can even stay at 66th or just the same as last year they're winning a lot of games. For example all one score games will fall in our favor more times than not. Why do you ask I'm saying top 50 offense? JMU. Here are last year's JMU's SP+ Rankings 20. JMU (11-2) 11.8 34.6 (19) 23.7 (43) 1.0 (40) I can't repeat enough of how good this coach is. We're in for a treat folks.

We're going to the Rose Bowl this year!!!!

The revenue comes from football. So, it's safe to say, all other sports at IU (including basketball) benefits when the football program is successful.

If I were the AD, I give my undivided attention to the football program with the goal of making the 12 team playoff every year. To were that becomes the norm and IU is known as a football school.

Playing at the Rose Bowl just got a little more interesting

Updated. Moved up UCLA to the Possible category. 5.5 new head coaches (Northwestern's Braun is only counted as a half because he already has a whole season under his belt as an interim role) on the schedule. Schools in italic have new HCs if anyone is wondering.

Oh man, if any of this scenario happens we're in for a treat this season.

Never say never. Lol. When he decides to transfer here from fill in the blank, there'll be a jersey waiting for him.

I could be mistaken, but I believe Rhea (currently with the Saints) developed his own system and is always evolving based on evidence based outcomes. https://rheaperformancesystems.com/ Side note: I strongly believe the 2019 and 2020 success has a direct correlation to Ballou and Rhea.

When asked if he wanted to see changes with the multiple transfer portal rule: "I don't have a strong feeling about that. You tell me what the rules are and I'll thrive within the rules." But just go ahead and start watching this at the 18:20 mark and that's all you really need to know.

I'm not opposed to letting CMW go. For me, it was the Wisconsin game. It was embarrassing. I pretty much stopped watching them this year. However, I do think this team just isn't good and anyone with an open mind will admit to that. They are young and I don't think there's a player on the team that should declare for the draft and should probably play another year at the college level to up their stock. Next year, will be a much more improved team if the core stays together. And letting CMW go will more than likely split that group up. It's kind of a double edged sword.

That and doing a solid to the staff, Sunseri in particular, for recruitment.
