Just got off the phone. This sounds like a smokescreen. Still anticipate stevens signing after this weekend

I wouldn't discount Stevens to IU still

Huh

Going to get attacked for this but brad is going to enjoy the all star break first before signing.

I am sure Chris and yeagley will agree that the contract is with stevens

No update as of now. Once again I am sharing things with you guys and you can feel free to not believe it. Regardless we all will have a fantastic weekend. Insider or not we all want to win championships. Big donor to small donor we are all IU fans. I am so proud today to be a Hoosier.

BoT and big donors are often in the same friend group or network circle

We have BoT approval. Contract being worked on and will be sent to Brad to be reviewed and (hopefully) signed.

Btw got messages and idk if guys like trilly Donovan or Jeff rabjohns know. Although I am highly confidence that rabjohns will be the last of media to know as he has burned many bridges with IU

I will def miss all the flight tracking it is hilarious. Flight from Bloomington to Albuquerque NM. There was also a flight from Bedford MA to Albuquerque, NM only 3 weeks ago> Guys brads favorite TV show is breaking bad. IU must have met him at the locations they filmed at.

There doesn't need to be any BoT emergency meetings. Emails and Doc U sign are good enough

Okay so here is where we are at,: So yes some high dollar donors are where I am hearing that a verbal has been reached. Sounds like last bit of piece we need to do is get approval for new salary/bonus totals. Brads agents essentially got dolson to verbally up the offer which needs board approval. Takes time for board to approve, send revised contract, get him to sign it, work out other details. Because of this news being massive I think they will work to expedite. Part of reason high dollar donors are first to hear is because there is some additional NIL ask that is part of the verbal with brad. So while this is now at the one inch line we just need to formalize. I doubt top media will hear about this until later tomorrow as they are keeping it pretty quiet right now. I do not know what the verbal is in terms of how much we will pay him but do know that NIL increase will likely be much higher than what woodson worked with and woodson worked with a top 10 NIL budget

We have a verbal agreement. Still need contract signed. Likely will be signed tmw. That is why not today. I expect tmw to respond with "signed sealed delivered, I'm yours".

Not today

Going with under a week till we are officially locked down and public announcement. Nothing signed yet but damn close
