Exactly. There are trustees close with Crean. I can't imagine they would be the ones pushing anything.

If there are it's not many.  Sounds like it's majority rules in favor of Crean leaving.

Does the NCAA encourage or discourage programs from making news that might interfere with their premiere basketball event?

From what I've heard NCAA aren't big fans of it

Wait so is it trustees or Glass who want Crean out? We can't even seem to get that straight?

It's mostly Glass who wants Crean to stay and the majority of the trustees who want him gone. I'm sure Glass wants Crean to stay because he doesn't want to admit that he made a bad choice when he extended Crean's contract, but heck, why wouldn't he realize that people wouldn't give a damn about him making that "wrong choice" as long as he was the guy who made the RIGHT choice to get rid of him and find a stellar replacement who put excitement back into IU basketball??!

Yeah but Rabjohns might know what is going on and it doesn't sound good. I don't believe anyone else knows what is supposedly going on including this trustee meeting that is not confirmed or that trustees are trying to tie Glass' hands.

Crean has helped some trustees. I don't see them turning on him. But as said above if it came to a vote, idk. I do know Glass and Crean being tied to the hip is 100% false. Don't know where that started, and Glass would know if Crean is back his contract turns into a one year deal as well banking on Crean. Again I think there is just a lot of noise that may not have legs.

I don't feel so bad about rooting for the tank now. I had a feeling that things would have to get real ugly for something to happen.

His extension was a couple of years and would have been done the following year which would be worse if he hadn't done it then. That extension or the buyout have zero bearing on his decision.

I just hope it was "ugly" enough!

Tank gang is already at our final destination, $5 dollars to join.

We gotta pay for the beer somehow.

Any thoughts on Cuban making a contribution to keep Crean?  He doesn't like to lose when he can help it.

I'd ask Mr. Cuban if he hired someone to run part of his company that had promised to bring back the old profitability of his company to its former sales numbers and after 9 years helping run the company, the company hadn't got anywhere near its old numbers, would you, Mr. Cuban, retain that person, or would you fire them? Not to mention it's the 2nd worse year ever with the company. 

It just doesn't add up anyway you look at it, he has to go. Disappointed in seeing Cubes back Crean.

Maybe if we miss the tournament for the next 10 years, he will get fired.

Can anyone legitimately confirm that this big meeting of the minds actually took place today/tonight? Assuming it didn't take place in a secret underground bunker, at least this basic fact should be able to be certified.

Seriously, did it happen? For sure?

That's the problem. From what I can tell the only verified info we have from anyone credible is Rabjohns source saying Crean back. Everything else is rumors and speculation.

Rabjohns thing getting downplayed on 24/7

Except now its been reported on 247 that Rabjohns' sources said it was just their opinion that Crean is back. Nothing confirmed, hence why Rabjohns hasn't tweeted anything out

[the possum 58]

If Rabs source was not anyone from IU who was named then nothing is true,
