If and when Crean returns and the other sports programs stay mediocre at best, we won't have to try to hard. It'll happen. And it's rate is ever increasing.

I think we're already there, and we're the last ones to notice it. Glass had a vision. And it's come true. We are now Iowa, Minnesota, or Illinois. Except we have the torment of those 5 banners of what used to be looming over us forever.

If Glass can sit courtside at tonight's disaster and still feel confident that Crean's the man moving forward then he needs to go as well. Maybe you want 24 sports, one average team, Fred, but the people don't.

The thing is, its way more than 1 average team. Baseball is going downhill, basketball is a dumpster fire, football is okay I guess for IU standards, Volleyball sucks. What has Glass actually done to improve IU athletics. And please don't say revenue, that's coming in regardless of who is AD (not directed at you 2017, just talking in general)

Oh I was just saying "1 average team" to play off of Fred's stupid "24 sports/1 team" slogan and describe IU athletics as a whole as 1 average 'team'. I agree with you though. When people talk about the good he has done it seems like the vast majority of it is related to revenue, building new facilities, getting donations, stuff like that. Rarely do I hear people mention the successes programs are having on the field/court. I really don't want to hear talk about all the money he's bringing in now since he gave up an opportunity to make free money because he was afraid of his coach getting booed.

Maybe we should just all email Glass a link to this thread and the Fire Tom Crean threads

AD Glass - "Assembly Hall is iconic. You've gotta be careful not to devalue it"

 

This is excuse #3 for not playing in Assembly Hall. First renovations and then the students are on spring break as the other 2. This truly shows how incompetent our AD is, and he is in charge of overseeing the basketball program? And we have an aussie president who is completely clueless to everything as it has to do with athletics and Indiana basketball. Folks, we are doomed. Our administration has put us in this 20 year funk, and it's not getting any better.

I mean, sadly for us, football is at its pinnacle of success in coming up on 3 decades

Will that even continue?  Lost our HC and 2 extremely important assistants. Could be looking at another 3-4 win season.

I'm pretty excited about football, I think we're making improvements as a program. I hope we can take the next step and get some 7-5, 8-4 seasons. The bowls are nice but we can't become complacent with 6-6 seasons and bowl losses.

I was watching Around the Horn and lo and behold Indiana was on the agenda. The topic of discussion centered on Indiana not wanting to devalue Assembly Hall by playing an NIT home game. Fred really has given the school a black eye. It doesn't matter if that wasn't the real reason. It's about public perception.

Fire glass and back the brinks truck into Barry Collier's driveway.

Fred essentially "threw" the game.

It is a real issue if Fred cannot reflect on what he did (put HIS team/school in a much worse position to win) and realize that he has to part ways with TC.

[Banksyrules 4,601]

I wonder how much it will be to have a full page ad in the IDS? Hmmmm.

Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

There are plenty of reasons IU is a punchline.

NIT fiasco
Sweet 16 rings and banner
CBI a few years ago
Crean going apeshit on Meyer
Net cutting after loss
Excuses, excuses, excuses

It all seems to originate from one person..

Fire Glass is what needs to be done!!

Even if we Fire Crean and land a homerun hire if I was a Trustee I would advocate for waiting a few months and quietly replacing Glass.  Dude has not done his job which is to protect and care for IU athletics.  

Baseball is Regressing.  Football and Basketball have been **** shows for different reasons dragging the university in the mud.  Soccer is struggling to get back to the upper tier.  

Glass has reached his peak and its just not good enough.  Get Calbert in here as AD or something.  

[jman301 26]

Is it possible to keep Glass and just bring in an AD to oversee the basketball program?
