Brother...I've discussed ad nauseum who I think are realistic options and who I think we succeed/fail here.

No. It played out exactly like I said it would play out.

ok

I'd expect actual dialogue about coaching candidates in the candidate thread. Stevens belongs in the same thread as the Tooth Fairy and Santa Clause. And should be labeled OT.

Stevens is completely out and I don't need to pay $100 a year or whatever to tell you that.

I'm not here for "inside" info. I'm here to discuss IU basketball, in this case, the next coach. Brad Stevens is not going to coach Indiana basketball regardless of what anybody hears. Glad we cleared that up.

If you came here for inside info, well I feel sorry for you. At least you aren't paying for it on Peegs.

I didn't say anything about university spending. I said that Creighton was on par in terms of NIL with the rest of their Big East counterparts. I don't care that Marquette's largest expenditure is renting out the Fiserv Forum. That's irrelevant to any comment I've made in regards to Creighton and their NIL.

That's fine. They still don't have anywhere near the NIL pool or donor base that Creighton does which is the brunt of the argument.

Marquette spends most of their basketball money renting out the Fiserv Forum. They don't have anywhere near the amount of wealthy alums or donor base that Creighton does. UConn is in a league of their own as they should be, it's a state public school with a 4-5x larger alumni base than the rest of these small, private Big East schools and St. John's has recently gotten a commitment from Mike Repole, likely because St. John's is now good again.

Then you’d know there’s a ton of Berkshire money running through that school. If Buffett himself ever decide to get involved personally, it’d be game over.

From somebody who regularly used to travel to Omaha for work, I'm telling you it's true. UConn and St John's are the only other two BE schools who compete.

It is true. UConn obviously is the one state, public school in the Big East with a much larger alumni base. But Creighton holds their own with every body else including St. Johns.

Creighton has more money than just about every one of their BE counterparts and facilities galore.

Incredible how irrelevant that is to anything I said.

Ok and? I don’t believe a single word that comes out of your mouth. I’m simply pointing out how/why Woodson would have inside information to the coaching search to all those that are under the impression that Woodson would be the last to know. He’s extremely close to two of the highest people around.

You don’t think Ferguson and/or Cindy SS are privy to what is going on behind the scenes lol? Even if they aren’t directly talking to or about McDermott. Good lord.

Because I wasn’t here 8 hours ago… But yes doing exactly that lol.

Absolutely. Woodson is extremely close with both Ferguson and Cindy SS.

You called him a nut job for being religious lol.

Does this website have closed captioning?

If that's truly the case, either hell has frozen over or Dolson has been taken behind the woodshed one too many times.

Good idea, that's basically what this thread is now.
