The academic issue is another misnomer. The grades were very good first semester. 2nd semester was a failure after the season went sideways because there was no more hope.. we don’t self report..there are no Fs

Wow. Shots fired lol

Agreed

Yea. We told on ourselves?! To compare Sampson to these other transgressions is ridiculous. What Sampson did was a fraction of hiring strippers, paying students, covering up sexual assaults, fake classes which is what some of our rivals were doing. Phone calls is not even in the same category. The irony of it all, is 99.9% of the time you would have never of heard about phone calls because the school wouldn’t have self reported. We did, and therefore everyone heard about it….and then Myles Brand decided to screw the season and make it public right in the middle of league play…where we were something like 20-2 (man I would give to have a record like that again.) and you know what? I wish our teams the last 10 years played with a fraction of the heart Houston teams play with. We’d get run off the floor cause those guys are the definition of grit and toughness. They play hard…something our teams have struggled doing.

I think we’re going to be good…but man, it would be a disappointment if we landed iowa’s back up in lieu of a Wade who clearly has interest…

Maybe I’m wrong but I thought I also heard his dad always wanted Brad at Indiana (coaching).

It doesn't have to be Stevens....but it needs to be someone of that caliber to not be a disappointment. It just is what it is....everyone wants IU to be GREAT yesterday. Well said. It could still be a great hire and not Stevens.

I don’t want Iowa’s back up. At best, it’s a “so-so” hire. BTW - the fact that McCollum is Iowas backup should be a good indication that he too is not our top option/s either.

Gary Parrish and Matt Norlander I don't think have ever - not once - said anything positive about Indiana. Complete and utter DOOFUSES

#Kathybomb!

My personal favorite was calling Carlyle “Canine”

All Alums of said school. Completely different circumstances

McCollum is their back up

That’s EXACTLY the problem

That would be a shock but a great signing

Meaning Drake will take a step back next year if he remained coach

Please stop using Pope as an example. He is an alum at UK. Totally different circumstances

His face was shock.

We do this every time. For every Bo Ryan there’s 10 or 50 others that failed. I’m not going to sit here and pray McCollum is the next Bo Ryan and Bruce Pearl…if you are, then chances are you’re in for a disappointment. Not to mention…we’re in the NIL era now. Much has changed since those 2 came on board

Coaching changes doesn’t think so

Please. Let’s hope so

Very good point. The reason why we were tops in the NIL world was because we had former players and very wealthy alum contributing to Woodson. With McCollum, I those donations will be limited

The fact that we’re in the same conversation as Minnesota and Iowa is sad. Clearly, if we hire a d2 career coach then pass in our Blue Blood card. It’s humbling but I will finally admit we are no longer the desired job that I thought we were. At least Sampson / Archie and Crean were wanted coaches. McCollum is the back up to Iowa lol
