Notre Dame suspended their men's swim program for the year because of gambling by a large number of the athletes. Are they the only sport on campus which did that? Highly doubtful.

I appreciate your still finding and sharing all this info on HS recruits even though it's probably meaningless.

https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/players/riley-nowakowski-1.html 39 total games over 5 years. 34 of those in the last 3 years.

Doesn't look like much of a receiving threat but maybe he's a good blocker? Also, they're not all going to be starter quality. IU needs some depth as well. He's played 34 games for a B1G team the last 3 years so he brings experience at this level with a team that has been good more often than not.

Indeed. It also says something if he didn't know who had the responsibility to scout the next opponent.

I listened to the podcast. #2 - I took that as the bigger issue is that going on recruiting trips was more about the golf than the actual recruiting. #4 - I recall it was more that Woodson thought they were playing another team than they actually were, not that they actually repaired to play that team. Came to the meeting thinking they were playing MSU (based on a prediction) instead of UM and asked who was scouting MSU. Ya made a joke about it being the wrong team and that set Woodson off. So Woodson didn't even bother to find out who IU was actually playing before going into the meeting, just went by a prediction he saw. Then was thin-skinned and took offense to a joke.

TDH has on the portal tracker page that Beau Pribula, backup QB from Penn State is visiting. https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/iu-football-transfer-portal-tracker-following-the-2024-regular-season/

Assuming all the smoke about Buckner using is position to force the Woodson hire and then to keep him when he obviously wasn't up to the job is correct, it could be a political minefield to appoint him again. Re-appointing someone that abused his power? Not a good look.

My understanding is that his term on the BoT is ending, not just as the chairman. He could be appointed by the governor again, but whether or not that happens remains to be seen. What also remains to be seen is if he even wants another term, as some on here have said he doesn't.

Who will be the unexpected coach that becomes coveted by the fan base this cycle? Watch and find out!

Buckner's term is up summer 2025. He's a lame duck who can't force another year of Woodson.

T.J. Otzelberger signed an extension so cross him off the list of possible Woodson replacements.

I'm guessing Nail-Slot-Rim.

I saw probably the same thing. Some of it came off as sour grapes but other parts, if true, were concerning.

Who could have possibly foreseen him using that excuse this season? Oh, right, everyone in this thread who wasn't defending him.

For all those thinking that IU will be back next year no matter what, remember that roughly 2/3 of his losses are blowouts. Since they'll probably finish around .500 in the B1G, that's another 9 losses there. 6 of them will probably be blowouts. Then a blowout in the B1GT. This makes it unlikely they'll get to the NCAAT, but even if they do they'll get blown out there in the 1st or 2nd round. Attendance will continue to get worse and worse as fans become more apathetic. I just don't see him being brought back even if he squeaks into the tournament simply because of all the blow out losses and losing the fanbase. Buckner won't be able to protect him and the NIL money this year wasn't well spent.

Combs is out of eligibility. At SIU: Redshirted, COVID year (played), then 3 years of double digit games played. https://siusalukis.com/sports/football/roster/branson-combs/7870 At WF: 1 season - Double digit games played He's done.

I'm all for IU letting him go then the NCAA making him sit a year (which it sounds like they would do from the article). That way IU doesn't look like the a$$hole and they don't have to deal with a disgruntled player that doesn't want to be there.

TDH has added Dominique Ratcliff, DL from Texas State as an interest. Alex Wollschlaeger to Kentucky. https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/iu-football-transfer-portal-tracker-following-the-2024-regular-season/

I hope he doesn't turn in to a locker room problem.

At least they knocked Alabama out of the CFP. I guess WSU's OC poached him on the way out the door. Cut throat business.

No contact tag, expected he'll sign with Oklahoma school for $1.5M.
