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/

Hoosiers at the SC World Championships https://iuhoosiers.com/news/2024/12/15/olympics-kings-rk-ny-highlight-indianas-short-course-worlds?fbclid=IwY2xjawHNWIdleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHXXpGtuUBHxv67A47QdDiUZ0cJIRAGvHCBSwlR_q-hy3Po5i0l-OBgtYCw_aem_oVzk1XvBUH_n_6CksLY4MA

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.

Again, Buckner will be a lame duck with only about 3 months left in his term.

Make them contracted employees. But the schools/NCAA don't want to do that.

Yeah, probably. If they're going to have agents though, those agents should be considered an extension of the athlete imo. Contacting them is the same as contacting the athlete.

He didn't quote Steuben. Maybe he was referring to a different cultist who's not even on this message board.

Nice get for them. I wonder if that takes them out of the equation for Mendoza.

That's because it's based on the premise that they're "student"-athletes. Therefore, transfers need to be done between academic semesters regardless of the sports season.

If that's the case (which is not only completely believable but what I suspected) then good riddance. If they think they might get more offers, then don't rush the commitment and signing. Simple. Edit: Also, school's are now prohibited from contacting athletes after they sign their new not-NLI papers. What is the punishment for that happening? Will anything happen to Beebe's next school for contacting after that? (Doubtful) https://www.ncsasports.org/blog/ncaa-eliminates-nli Once a student-athlete signs a written offer of athletic aid, other schools are prohibited from communicating with that student-athlete.

k, bye, we hardly knew ya. Always a Hoosier?

A Mendoza/Hunter package would be nice. I'd take it. Let me dream.
