Hoosiers? More the the Indiana Self Immolaters Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I attended IU from 2009-2013 so don't have reference for what happened. Did the NCAA cause us to lose scholarships? Did Crean kick off players or force players to transfer? How much was Crean's doing, how much was from self punishment, and how much was the NCAA's doing in regards to what happened to the program? Also how was it even possible for Crean to only post a 2 game win improvement from year 2 to 3? He won less big ten games (3) in year 3 than he did in year 2 (4). Its almost like a child milking an injury because he's getting special attention

Serious Question... Why does IU self immolate and get the death penalty over minor allegations and nothing happens to any of the other blue bloods?

I don't disagree with you; however, I would have loved to have seen all the possible options to choose from when considering a venue upgrade. Although the seats would be better if we played at a Bankers Life type venue, i would think it would be way too antiseptic for the Hoosiers. If they could build a newer stadium that encompassed the steep sides and acoustics of Assembly hall and mixed them in with elements from bankers life, Hinkle Fieldhouse, the Old Field house (HPER building), I think IU could have created one of the best arenas in college basketball without sacrificing nostalgia or character. On a side note: I'd love to see IU play a throw-back game in the Hyper Building with old school uni's, limited seats and a classic team like Butler. That would be fun.

I agree with you. I’m no engineer, but I wonder if it is possible to remove the balconies and take the number of seats lost and move them to behind the baskets. (If that makes sense) Not to pile on FG, but I think there may have been a better way to go about the renovations Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app
