I like it that that many of the freshmen will be there for spring practice. That's like 2/3 of the incoming FR class?

The radio show is Woodson's Iowa game.

The way things have gone for IU basketball hires since Knight, we'll probably hire Shrewsberry and ND will hire Stevens on the cheap since his daughter is there. Shrews gets fired in 4 years even though it's obvious he isn't the guy after year 2. Stevens stays at ND for 20 years and wins multiple championships. Just kidding.... Kind of.

Revenue sharing gets paid directly from the university to the athletes, yes. I would count this as a separate payment than NIL but in the end the combinrd amount is what will go to the athletes. Not using one source would be a mistake so both revenue sharing and NIL will be used. Revenue sharing has a cap. Next year it is $20.5M per university to be split among all sports and athletes as the universities see fit.

I'm aware of that. I'm just wondering if some of the assistants are significantly worse at their jobs than the others. I personally hope the assistant coaches and strength and conditioning coach follows Woodson out the door. It's funny how any question like the one I posted gets construed as some sort of defense of the Woodson.

Knight's championship winning days were already behind him.

Except they are getting paid. Not life changing money like some basketball and football players, but they're getting paid. Swimming brings recognition to the university than VB does since it's one of the more popular Olympic sports. I'm sure a lot more people have heard of Lilly King than any volleyball player. The school they attend(ed) is often discussed by announcers and athletes.

Not sure why this was funny, @Chris007. It's consistently one of the best programs IU has with a ton of tradition and swimmers that medal in the Olympics. Very good chance for the men to win the national championship this year. Definitely better money spent than a sport like volleyball.

Not swimming? Their monster transfer class this year seems to indicate they got pretty good NIL.

That's not just on the head coach, it's on the assistant coaches as well. I wonder if there is any pattern for which assistant is responsible for the scouting of an opponent and how prepared/unprepared the team tends to be.

They give IU an A+. https://247sports.com/longformarticle/big-ten-football-grades-ohio-state-national-championship-berth-usc-regression-highlights-2024-report-card-244041386/#2582124

Pass on all 3 you named.

I did read it. It is the type of thing an employer says about an employee.

Comments like that will be used against the NCAA in court to get the players declared as employees.

I just checked (okay, not really) and the game yesterday didn't change it. It's still a shared award between the two.

With how bad Woodson's teams have shot and their reliance on driving and getting the ball inside, I'm surprised we haven't seen more zones over the years. It says a lot about how well this team is coached that a team going to zone bewildered them.

Are we still worried about him sneaking into the tournament and that saving his job or ... ?

His specialty.

Oh, they just like to come in here and post then complain when someone goes into that post to rip Woodson.

It just means that it wasn't in as bad of a state as it seemed and that Woodson clears the very low bar of being a better coach than Miller. Glad to help you understand.

The Woodson fans need their safe place to talk about his greatness. Odd that that thread is so quiet...

As had been pointed out. Miller likely wouldn't made the tournament the year or was cancelled. So, while this is technically true, it also doesn't accurately represent the state of the program at the time Woodson took over. Woodson inherited a team that had experienced players TJD and Thompson in addition to Galloway and Leal who are still on the team. 3 players who started much of their time on Woodson's teams. If Woodson isn't retained, the next coach won't inherit nearly that much.

Another B1G-SEC matchup, another B1G win.

The men and women both easily beat ranked Michigan. https://swimswam.com/live-recap-indiana-vs-michigan/
