Just glanced through several different reports and at this point sounds like it's just all related to performance of the program and fan dissatisfaction getting louder.

Selmon is the AD and this is from of the the stories I read --

Selmon didn't have many options. His teams were 82-89 for SEC action though 40 of those wins came from the 2019 and '21 seasons. They were also 3-6 in just three SEC Tournaments, missing out on the 2022 and '23 events. The 2020 tournament was cancelled along with all the league season.

Yep, won NC in 2021 then has struggled the last few years: Story

Do the Hoosiers have to win the B1G tourney in order to make a regional? It seems that way at this point

At this point, they probably have to win their 8 remaining regular season games and do reasonably well in the B1G tournament, or win the B1G tournament.

Sad. I’ve never seen such a talented roster that just flat out can’t pitch. Lots of wasted potential this season

They've played the majority of the season without their best arm... for a 2nd straight year.

Several recent years have been frustrating but this year has been the worst.  Lots of promise wasted.  Try again next year hopefully with some seasoned pitchers.

Been  a long time but the Hoosiers pick up a series road sweep winning today's game 7-6 scoring the go ahead run in the top of the 9th.  8 hits in the game with Schuyler the only batter with multiple hits and it was his single in the 9th that scored the winning run.  He and Brenczewski each had 3 RBI.  5 Hoosier pitchers allowed 6 runs on 8 hits and walked 6 ACU batters.  ACU left 11 runners on base.

Hoosiers are off until next weekend when we host PUke.  Then the following Tuesday we play at Cincinnati and then the weekend of May 15-17, the regular season ends with a road trip to Ann Arbor.
