Great point! If Woodson loves IU like I suspect, is there a chance his buyout/retirement package is lower? I'm probably being naïve, but he's made millions at IU and has lifechanging money. Will he give an IU discount? Is the buyout even a big deal? Someone mentioned TV money of 100 million.

No way it improves by the end of the year! Staff and players won't get it done and that's what needs to happen to fire his tired *ss!

IU will keep Woodson and Dusty will go to OSU and raid Indiana for talent the way Matta used to!

I'd be ok with Pearl or May and it's been mentioned, but how about Shrewsberry at ND? His bio speaks for itself and definitely knows Indiana and Midwest. Is his buyout at ND probably too high since they just hired him?

Does anyone know how/why someone thought it a good idea to give Woodson a 1 million dollar raise after last season? What a dumb decision...............

Not upset at all about last night! As we know, continuing to lose is the only way to get rid of Woodson!

I hear you! I have plenty of IU gear and can't remember the last time I wore it. Too embarrassed to even go out in public with it on! Extreme?!?! I don't know but Men's Basketball, the former pride of the university, is an extreme mess so desperate times call for desperate measure in any way we all can! Disgusting to think of what it's become!

Agreed! Just have to hope we keep losing but if he gets them over the hump we will go 6-0..............DWS

Bye Bye Big Ten Title!

Yes!! I've obviously forgotten, but someone please refresh our memory on the whole Fife situation!

"We don't want to spend the money to buyout Woodson right now" Does this mean he's back next year regardless???

He would be like Crean then in regard to HS coaches and AAU not liking him. We don't need that!

I'm with Chris007, bring on Dusty May! His connections to the state are important and obviously the IU connection, although Woodson has proven that's not important! He's young, won't be too costly, which admin will need to send Woodson packing. It all makes sense!

Agreed! I don't even watch anymore and that stinks because it used to be appointment TV. Now I'm resigned to just seeing the result and I must say I'm not one bit surprised. With all that being said, I hope they keep losing! Winning only ensures another year of this train wreck and as you said the answer is not Mike Woodson!!!!!!!!!!!!

So with what you said Chris, what are you hearing? Any chance he retires??

You answered that in you rpost about the staff earlier. He wasn't a yes man and Woodson didn't like it!

Doyel is always too liberal for me, but he rightfully so nailed everything in this article!!!!

That sleepy guy by Woodson is awful! Looks disinterested all the time!

Wright State 73 IU 68 They have two very good senior guards in Holden and Calvin who we can't/won't defend. Freshman Curry from Army scores 20, how can IU contain these two at this point??? Hope I'm wrong!

I played HS ball from 87-91. A thrill every fall was to go to the open practice in Assembly. One side was literally filed. One time in the lobby with with my HS coach, Coach Knight happened to be walking in and my HS Coach who had worked his camps said "Hi Coach" and he came over to speak to his under 5 year old son and I got to shake his hand. I'll never forget the 5 year old looking up at him. So intimidating to all of us really! Another thrill that was so great and gives me goose bumps was when he'd walk in a minute or two before the tip off. Assembly went crazy!!

Dumb!

Yes on Cupps! He's a 4 year guy who will only get better! Remember how we all disliked Aaron Craft, same type of player but better! Craft played in a FF. You need glue guys and all 5 stars just doesn't get it done. Have to have a mix of both IMO.

Enough on Ledlum! Let this thread die!

What is Newtons injury??

Has IU had any feel when Xavier will know on getting his 6th year? I know its the NCAA but you'd think they could decide fairly quickly. Does Love have 2 years of eligibility remaining?
