Ballo looks like DeAndre Thomas, if DeAndre Thomas had a personal trainer instead of a personal pizza delivery guy.

Yeah I’m avoiding the politics and trying to tell you directly I have specific inside info here and the idea it’s about politics and to be dismissive by going there is off, there’s a lot going on behind the scenes in the relations with faculty. That’s all I’m going to say.

Kid's so talented, really hoping he's full go by October

Hey I never authorized use of my name, image or likeness - I want my NIL money!

That’s a legit haul if it happens

I was going to comment here, but then was thrown by the pop up ads -- why am I getting a slew of pop up ads here for "Chair Workouts for Seniors"!!??  and "28 Day Chair Yoga!??" Good Lord, lol

Profs are really angry with her. She has some out there policies. One examp - for any meeting with her the person (prof, etc) has to put their cellphone in a container, some feeling reflects paranoia.

How do you know he has not committed yet?  May not have but very easily could have and the staff is waiting for him to make if official.

you're impressively creepy, in a good way 

Walsh following Ballo now on IG, if he was earlier I missed it. 

If you know, you know. Welcome to the family, Mr Ballo.

lol. Yes I’m very much a realist and taking the world as it is. Saying that the world would be a better place if it would just act the way I wanted it to. Haha. 
 
The idea you have for colleges not being a place for professional sports isn’t bad per se. But the US Supreme Court has already ruled the way the universities governed by way of the NCAA was not actually legal and they were exploiting people.
 
College sports has always been dirty. Heck even as far back as the early 1900’s schools were paying people to play on their who were not students. Even printed on the NCAA website if you want to look it up. 
Why have local high school sports? They are also state funded. I’m a massive sports fan and love European soccer. Their system is probably way better than ours, but talking to some former euro players who never made it professionally but were viewed as quality players as youths, they think the US system is better bc of the educational aspect.
Rest assured, state funds are not paying for the athletic department at IU. So there isn’t tax payer dollars going to it other than what is willfully given. 
 
Totally agree that the love of money is the root of evils. But if people are smart money can make their lives so much easier. Saying that as someone who was raised on govt assistance and now living a nice standard of living. Money is just a tool, nothing else. 
 
back to the topic, I agree we need Ballo commitment soon if it’s going to happen. 

Well.. Myles Rice did and was FOY. :)

It’s largely what can be considered to fall within politics (see IDS article) but on this one I do have inside insight. The direct relations with the profs are bad.

Wasn’t sure where to put this but maybe somewhat related to this thread—
IU Bloomington faculty have set up a no confidence vote against President Whitten and 2 top administrators to be voted on tomorrow (Monday).

If he’s 100% he won’t just compete for minutes, he’ll get’em. But, speaking as probably the #1 Newton fan who’s not a family member, it’s tough to roster build based on that assumption.
