Yes, that is the goal. That is also why they made the changes such as removing the B Finals from the NCAA championship meet. Thankfully those are coming back but it does show that they're trying to find ways to make meets more marketable. That means more exciting and less down time. The skins and super skins events I think will be like the skins event from the ISL. A 50 yd (since this is college) race that is swum over and over eliminating swimmers each round. Think a tournament format in the pool. https://sa.swimming.org.au/swim-articles/what-skins-race

Hoover is a very good QB. He actually has better numbers coming to IU than Mendoza had. Mendoza, however, has that intangible refusal to lose that is very rare. His preparation is top notch. During the games he just finds a way. It's what separates very good from great. Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes are two others with that attribute. I'm not sure that Hoover does. That's not a knock on him, merely an observation. I think he'll do quite well here and I agree with you that he'll end up somewhere between Rourke and Mendoza.

Take out the football championship and the comment is still a very stupid one. That just takes the championship count down to 24-3 instead of 25-3.

How embarrassing for Purdue and all of their fans.

You must be new around here. If we did pay that then the complaint becomes that we overpaid.

That makes it sound like there were many of them. I think you mean "those few years"

I saw on 247 that he cut his list to 8 and we're still on his top list but it seems unlikely he will end up at IU. I'm not sure why didn't just cut IU. I see he's also dropped quite a bit in the rankings. From 30ish to the 60s.

Last year we played 13. More than most other teams. Winning the games we do play is all that matters.

The NCAA is gonna NCAA. Which is to say, continue to fight in court and continue to lose in court.

Doesn't he have to sit a year since he didn't enter during the window? So little chance at PT becomes 0 chance at PT.

This is the kind of realistic, grounded analysis that we can take from these types of exhibition games. Retire his number now.

He's played a total of 1 minute in 1 game.

That's what she said.

Weren't there people on here wishing we had hired Sanders or someone like him? In the past, he would've been a very Indiana "No, we are actually trying. See this hire!?" thing to do that would have changed nothing for IU.
