So Woodson has every reason to spend every single NIL and University dollar within his disposal to create a dynamic squad next year -
Paul Szelc or however you spell it is equally bad

Bracketology and Team Resumes

IU currently: Q1: 0-7, Q2: 2-1, Q3/4: 10-0 Remaining games: Q1: 4, Q2: 6, Q3/4: 1 Home: 6 games, Away: 5 Q1 Games: MSU, Wisconsin, @PU, @OSU -- have to go 2-2 at minimum for any chance at a bid in my estimation. Interested to hear USPS take on if IU finishes 12-8 (20-11) what the chances look like -
The saga on Sampson is an interesting case study on implicit bias. A group of Indiana basketball fans, comprised of largely middle aged caucasian males, latches onto the main reason for the program's implosion in 2008 to be due to an African American coach's inability to control a roster of largely young African American players because of "drug dealers and pimps". It feels kind of gross saying it like this. -- I fixed this for you. The only way to move forward is to speak as the overwhelming majority of the population think. It is 2024 not 1957. It was 2008 - Indiana elected our first African American President and voted blue, an extreme outlier in historical voting records of our state. Implicit Bias for a basketball coach, but not for our President? Implicit Bias for IU basketball fans is a hard conclusion for me to get to as IU fans (in 2008 and today) idolize(d): Isaiah Thomas, Buckner, Cheaney, Guyton, Gordon, Walt Bellamy, McGinnis, Woodson, May, Henderson, and Jeffries. I just can't be convinced and personally a comment that incites racial rhetoric that is presented w/o evidence is not appreciated. Our country, our state, and Indiana University have hurdled many challenges over the past 75 years in regard to race relations and equality - a comment like this sets us back, creates unneeded divide, and disservices the work of our ancestors to make a better place for us all. I do understand where the idea can come up though - Dan Dakich did put it out that players were selling/using drugs, and he did call them thugs. Which, if true, is absolutely worth bringing up - though I don't know the factualness of the claim, so I won't comment. We are not white/black/Asian Americans - Just Americans.

Oh yeah who's the FED IU Administrator on BtownBanners! Let's get em boys

We shouldn't be worried, but Dolson as AD should be sweating bullets about it. A missed hire on May, if successful at school XX in the B1G would be met with immediate and persistent calls for his job. If May is guaranteed to another regional or inter-conference school - Dolson better have an established plan of action. A former IU guy, who is widely known to want the IU job getting hired by another power player in CBB and having success is a catastrophic mistake. TBH Holtmann is Archie Miller level of coach, don't know how he's made it this long

Can you guys let the current coach get fired before we start hating on the next coach

Sports gripe: Indiana sports at the collegiate and professional levels, as a whole, stink!

Interestingly, Schertz graduated from FAU. Either Schertz or May - my vote is for anyone with an FAU connection to be IU's next HC -
