Right, Im not worried about who does or doesn't, just curious is all. Wondering if whether all they want is to play for Crean, or would love to stay at IU if we get a good hire.

So do we have current players who transfer and want to follow Crean wherever he goes?

And now fans of all the other Big Ten schools are crying and pissed, lol

It's the only string of thought I have that is keeping me somewhat sane today!

I'd like to think (and hope) that if the meeting was between Glass and boosters, and not trustees, that it was a meeting of reassurance that had Glass saying "ok guys, Crean is gone but I just wanted to make sure you were on board to help get the guy I'm going after."

Are there still at least a few people on here who think Crean is for sure GONE based off how everything has panned out so far? I need this reassurance in my life!! Haha

Ugggh...you would think that with all the noise that has been going on the past week especially, that if Glass was indeed intending on keeping Crean that he would have come out and said something by now, but since he hasn't then hopefully thay means something. Then if there really was a meeting with the boosters, it was just to discuss "ok guys, I'm letting him go, this other guy is on board but he's only going to come if we have this to give him. Let's get something worked out and make it happen."

FWIW, 0708 over on 247 site posted a few minutes ago that he is still hearing that Crean is gone.

It's mostly Glass who wants Crean to stay and the majority of the trustees who want him gone. I'm sure Glass wants Crean to stay because he doesn't want to admit that he made a bad choice when he extended Crean's contract, but heck, why wouldn't he realize that people wouldn't give a damn about him making that "wrong choice" as long as he was the guy who made the RIGHT choice to get rid of him and find a stellar replacement who put excitement back into IU basketball??!

A poster on 247 who seems to be legitimate to a lot of people on the site said that there has been a lot of fluid motion the past 24 hours and a lot of going back and forth. Glass wants one thing, the trustees want another. What are the chances that the trustees give into Glass? Hopefully not good!!

The stress of not knowing whether or not Crean is for sure gone has been crazy the past couple of weeks!! Now just the last couple of days has me feeling like a 10 year old on Christmas Eve...it seems like it's taking forever for xmas morning (Crean being gone) to get here and I'm so excited to find out if I get what I want, and will probably throw a tantrum if I don't get it! Please Santa, don't let me down! Haha

You would think that with the kind of ego Glass most likely has, that he would WANT to make a good hire and replace Crean so that he can have the opportunity to be like "yeah that's right, that was ME who made that happen." You would think he would look at all the ecstatic fan base and just eat that alive.

If there is indeed a meeting between Glass and some boosters this evening, what are the chances some info gets leaked about it afterwards tonight that we end up knowing about before a presser comes a different day?

Yeah I'm wondering that if the meeting really does happen this evening it has to do with the big boosters saying "seriously Fred, we don't want this guy anymore. How much do you need to make sure we get the replacement we want for the program." I heard that Fred was gonna announce yesterday that he planned on keeping Crean but the trustees came forward and said no not so fast...so hopefully this meeting has something to do with boosters/trustees telling Glass that we for sure no longer want Crean, here's some dough to get the guy we want, or you won't be getting any more dough if Crean stays. I just wonder though that if there truly is a meeting tonight, then it probably wouldn't be until at least tomorrow or after that we get an announcement.

Where on tv would the presser be once there is one? Big Ten Network? ESPN? I'm gonna assume BTN will have it regardless

Well hopefully that was just icing on the cake for Glass to see that. Crean had a pretty uneasy look on his face every time it showed him the last few minutes of the game....more so that just knowing they were about to lose the game. The players definitely made a lot of lazy plays in the game and didn't seem like they wanted to be there at all. I feel bad for them.

Ha, it's kind of neat that Wichita State and Dayton play each other in the first round of the NCAA tournament in Indy. Maybe it'll be loser of the game is announced head coach of IU and we will know who we have as soon as the first round is over! (Im kidding, but wow that's crazy that those two got matched up together...and in Indy).

Definitely has been a different feel on the boards the past couple of days....people getting worried and whatnot. Is there anyone out there who still think there should be no doubt Crean will be gone?

Right, soon after seeing it, the game in Georgia tonight came into mind..

Someone spotted Glass at the Indy airport.

The slice of hope I have for that twitter post is that Tucker knows Crean is gonna be gone so he's waiting to see who the next coach will be before he decides to come to IU.

Hopefully Jordan Tucker being in waiting, if true, isn't something big enough for Crean to use in persuading Glass he should stay. Maybe Tucker is aware that Crean will be gone and is waiting to see who the coach will be at IU before he commits to going there. That would obviously mean though that he is truly interested in playing ball at IU and not just for Crean, but would depend on who the replacement would actually be.

Haha, yes I've got that going on with me at my house as well!

Even my wife wants there to be a change in coach. I told her that I'd be so excited to see Crean gone that it would result in taking her out for dinner and a movie!

Ha, of course! I will say though, if we end up finding out that Crean accepted a job at Missouri, I will gladly accept his insult.
