TOM CREAN FIRED

[Jeff_Boy_Ardee]

This may be irrelevant and I'm pretty late getting the news, but with all the Fire Crean talk again it was brought back up.

But from a very reliable source I was told the final three for the job after Davis were Sampson, Belein, and Tubby. Supposedly the administration was in talks with Belein and ready to move forward with him and he and his wife were looking to buy a home in Bloomington, but a booster came in and said no that they wanted Sampson.

Curious as to if the boosters with the most influence are Crean supporters or what is going on. Again, late news but just thought I'd share.

It will be interesting to see how it turns out. I don't anticipate Billy leaving after only one year. Wish Billy was still at Florida..

don't think there's much chance of Billy leaving THIS season, no. still think 2018 could (potentially, at least) be a different story.

but neither BD nor his players looked very excited when I saw them on TV the other night--I know it's a long season, but if they're not careful they could fall to 8th place and have to play the Warriors in the first round

I would say nobody can say for certainty who the boosters with most influence support. I believe although nobody else will agree the most overlooked important people is the legions of fans who put alot of money into the program and they are turning. There is a point where the small money people matter more than the few elite rich imo so it wont matter

Of course, this scenario would never happen, but......

Assuming that one had a chance to lure Donovan or Stevens to IU, but not until say, 2019/2020, would you consider approaching coach Knight about coming back for a one or two year contract to stabilize the program, heal the fan base, mend fences, then hand off to one of the two or more aforementioned coaches?

Be nice, I'm only tossing this out for discussion.

YIKES!!! I can't imagine anything with more toxic potential at this point.

Riley probably doesn't even have a scholarship. Baseball only gets around 10-12 scholarships to divide up among a roster of 30 or so players.

If I am not mistaken, don't employees of the university get some sort of financial discount if not a full ride?

It varies depending on the institution.  Children of IU employees get 50% off tuition.

Wow what a scam.  I can go to Marian University for free if I want and so can my daughter in 18 years.

When searching google for Crean and hot seat or potential coaching candidates being mentioned with Indiana, be sure to include the right year. I found this article mentioning Archie and Indiana from a couple of years ago. It reads like it could have been written this year. https://www.google.com/amp/bustingbrackets.com/2015/03/04/daytons-archie-miller-answer-indiana-hoosiers/amp/

I remember reading that back when it came out!  I was hoping it was true then, and still do now!

Is Hoiberg not a viable option?

It was free up until a few years ago. So a lot of people are still grandfathered in.

 

Edit: I know of at least IUPUI and IU are that way. Can't say on others, but IPFW was PU backed. With their transition away from PU I don't know what happens there.

I've worked at IU Bloomington since 1995 and, in that time, it's always been half-price for dependents.  As employees, we get 3 free credit hours and then 3 half priced credit hours each semester.  Granted, I'm a staff member, so it's possible that it's different for faculty, but I'm pretty sure it's the same for everybody.

Watching Northwestern tonight hoping to see Collins wizardly leading the cats to a convincing win. Seeing an offense struggle mightily against Rutgers.

Is that a movie about the 2016-2017 IU basketball season?

Just like the code name of attacking a zone defense: "no clue"

Gotcha. My aunt has worked at IUPUI for the same timeframe and it is free. It was around 2010 they changed it. I thought? My cousin goes there for free. I assumed that was an IU thing cause IPFW wasn't like that. Maybe a satellite thing? Her name is Bethany Neal-Beliveau. But I know my cousin goes for free.

 

Edit: I apologize in advance if anyone went to IUPUI and had her and had a bad experience lol. She takes Psychology seriously.
