One of my favorite non IU teams to watch were the 1989 Illinois team. All of their starters were between 6'4 - 6'8 and don't they really had anyone taller than 6'8 who played.

Ask Carlos Boozer about that

If these programs are no longer affiliated with the University people won't be interested in the product. If these become minor leagues teams then a lot of the fans won't support it. How often does regular sports fans actually watch or attend minor league games.

I like that we are getting players who have multiple years of eligibility left so we probably won't have to fill out whole roster again next year.

Sorry about yesterday if you thought my attentions was to call you out. That wasn't my attention at all because I was wondering if it was just official yesterday as why it was announced yesterday.

I never bought that players had any trouble paying anything in college. They would had to totally blow their money to not have money to live off. They get around 1500 for housing so you get a couple of roommates then keep the rest for spending. Also your scholarship covered housing as well and that money goes to the student if not living in the dorm. It also provides money for food and if you don't take the meal plan then that money goes to the student. My daughter was on a full ride to IU and a Pell grant and she received enough money at the start of the semester to pay for her apartment and all of her bills.

That Tipton tweet was from 4/22

Didn't he commit last week

Nobody minds change if it is a good change and if it helps the sport itself. This change is killing the sport so that is why people are unhappy with the change.

Didn't he make the elite 8 in 2024

They are paying to broadcast Duke, UK, Indiana and not Individual players. Players have come and gone but the the thing that stays the same is the name on the front of the jersey

It makes me feeI I rather be a fan of a D2 team.

The players never played for free since they were getting at least $50,000 + with scholarships and housing. I make a lot less than the CEO of my company even though I probably do more work, it is called life and it isn't fair

No I said I hate the system and college athletes shouldn't be paid. I could handle it if it was actually NIL rather than pay for pay through the collectives

We shouldn't be paying them because they aren't worth paying all this money to them. The individual players aren't what sells but the Universities name. The old system was way more than fair and now they are ruining college sports

I doubt we would pay this for anyone

What does height have to do with being a great defensive player. IT defense in the championship game vs UNC was what turned the game around to start the second half. If I just look at OG at IU there is no way you put him in the top 5. If you count what he has done since then you might be right.

So you are basing it on one great defensive game by a guy who played a year and half at IU. Did you see guys like Wilkerson or Buckner, how about IT and Tolbert or Henderson. All of those guys except IT did it over 4 years.

As of now this is how I see the lineup Conerway/Enright Wilkerson/Drake Miles/Dorn Devries/Sisley Bailey/Alexis Hopefully we get another 5 like Fredricko and then go get two freshmen who are either a big wing or another 4

Can you ever show any optimism towards this program

Totally agree with this

Wilkerson Buckner IT Henderson Tolbert

I am not sure but Devries wants more ball movement and player movement and from watching USC some this year that wasn't how Claude scored

Pretty good player but is very ball dominant and doesn't appear to fit the style that Devries runs on offense

Do you have problems reading because you can find that out on your own.
