Let us all rejoice in the fact that PU is losing to North Texas. **** you, Purdue.

Yeah, you are hearing what you want. He just isn’t that into you. Accept it.

What? That was merely an invitation for a spirited debate.

I sent you a message explaining it.

Just to be clear, my post was defending you and Chris007.

If Brad doesn’t want to be here, so be it. I want a guy who wants to win at Indiana.

I don’t like being censored. If you have something to say send me a message instead of deleting my post.

A wiser fella once said, sometimes you eat the bar...and well... sometimes the bar, eats you.

Let me throw this hypothetical at you guys. The "Private team meeting" is happening at 3:00 and Romeo is the player that is spreading info, or he is spreading it to some of his former teammates. I am not saying that I trust that Brianna got good info, but that would put some of the pieces together, including Dolson's denial that INDIANA would be announcing anything.

I think we are ignoring an obvious explanation. IU isn't announcing Brad Stevens is the new coach today, Boston is announcing that Brad Stevens is stepping down.

Did you get confirmation on this?

Friday - Rutgers Saturday - UCLA

Over.

This is correct. The only reason the NBA can prevent a coach from taking another job is because of the anti-trust exemptions that were granted to them by congress. Those exemptions do not extend to the NCAA, so the Celtics do not have the power to prevent him from being the next coach for the Hoosiers.

I don't think Mark Cuban would be allowed to contribute the money to IU if Dolson mentioned Brad Stevens. It seems like this would be a conflict of interest and possibly collusion to remove a rival coach from the league when you own a competing team. So either Mark didn't pony up the cash, or Dolson never told him who he is targeting.

I don't think it would be legal for the Celtics to include a clause in Brad's contract preventing him from coaching in college, because the NCAA does not have an anti-trust exemption. The only reason it is legal within the NBA is because of that exclusion. I believe it would be legal to include language that had penalties for terminating his contract early, but I think they would have a hard time outright blocking him from going to coach at Indiana.

The difference this time is the fact that it sounds like the inner circle on this is very small. There is no search firm to leak, there are no agents to leak, there are no lawyers to leak.

How did this go down last time. Was it a press release or a press conference?

I have been lurking on IU boards forever. I think I joined this board "officially" back in 2017 and haven't even posted until this week. In addition to the people you have mentioned I remember a GovernmentCheese from one of the boards.

I have not found a single place to bet on this. Sportsline published the odds but no one is taking bets. William Hill is the "Official Sports Book" of Sportsline and CBS and even they aren't taking the bet.

Except for the fact that it was released in the middle of the summer of ‘88, and the plot of the movie does not revolve around the theme of Christmas.

I believe someone else (possibly one of our insiders) said that Brad had a option of $50M over 7 years or $70M over 10 years.

Well, it is what they teach in journalism school, and I doubt an editor would go to publication with less.

So 7 years, $50M?
