No booster is going to have to pay the remainder of Donovan's contract. Donovan doesn't get that money. BD would get whatever is being offered in the new contract with IU.

No booster has to pay i was suggesting that to get the deal done one offered to pay him it to make it more enticing

I can confirm this rumor because I heard it this weekend from the person that actually knows someone that works for IUs law firm. This guy isn't a liar either. I didn't say anything because I'm trying to keep some credibility.

Clifton Moore and Smith were the two recruits I DIDNT want to lose. Now that Moore is gone IDC how long we wait to name a coach. You dont rush it just for one kid specially one ranked in the 80s some services have him in the 100s. If TB, OG or JBJ stay because of a new coach that has more effect than Smith so it is actually a plus. If they all decide to leave that was what we assumed to happen anyways so then the new coach has 1-3 spots to fill. With the idea of any of those 3 coming back or Smith still coming we will be fine.

BD's contract with OKC is $30M for 5 years. Let's assume each year is $6M. Donovan has been in OKC for two years. You're asking a booster to come up with $18M? Not happening...

I can't tell people how badly I want this to be true.  I so badly want IU to finally say enough is enough, for IU to decide to be one of their big boys and sit at the same table as pUKe and UNC and Duke again, to decide they should be a shark instead of a friggin' guppy.

I can't believe it though.  For as long as I've paid attention it seems like IU has been content with being a guppy.  If I believe this it'll make me irate when they hire someone like Alford or Chris Collins.

We'll see how it plays out, but I so so so badly wish I could believe this.

Yeah, despite all the insiders and unnamed sources talking up Billy Donovan to IU, I'm preparing myself to be disappointed.  Although I felt the same way about if Glass would actually fire Crean...so there's that.

Some boosters that's chump change. 

Maybe, but it would be completely unnecessary. That's not how these things work.

Funny thing. I was just googling "Billy Donovan scandal". Didn't find anything. He is squeaky clean. Did find some interesting things though. Hiring Donovan would rock the world of college basketball.

In 2013-14, he was ESPN top ranked coached in college basketball. Ahead of the likes of Calipari, Izzo, Krzyzewski and Pitino.

An article, from July of 2016, talking about the Kevin Durant departure and what that means to Donovan. Says that there is a possibility of him leaving as early as this year.

Title says it all, Indiana Must Fire Tom Crean and Pursue Billy Donovan.
