This is my concern, McRobbie hiring someone with the same mindset as him.

I have to change my signature now.

I was told by a very reliable source that McRobbie is retiring next year, and that has been the plan for a while now. Strange timing. Maybe we have a new AD and New President within an 18 month period.

It's pretty much common knowledge that President Dundee is retiring soon after the bicentennial campaign. I'd feel more at ease if we find out a committee is finding our new AD with say Trustee Quinn running the point.

Ill be honest, I don’t know how I feel about this shocking news. I didn’t mind Glass. I felt like, with the “restrictions” we feel are in place that he did a good job.

 

I’ve always said I wanted IUBB in a level playing field but I’m not sure that happens no matter who the AD is.

 

To me this is crazy news and super unexpected. Health or fishy.

 

I hope he is well. I believe he loved Indiana and it’s sports programs and think in general he was a good spokesman.

 

I would love if the next AD is hyper competitive and is allowed to function in the construct of the NCAA.

This was surprising news. Wonder why.

I was scrolling through Facebook and saw "Glass to retire at the end of the year." I hought it was some IU meme page making a joke or posting fake news. Very sudden and very odd...

You hire people who share your values and beliefs, therefore I find it impossible to believe Jurich is a fantastic guy. Pretty good AD though.

In the unlikely event the NCAA actually brings it down on UL, would Jurich be part of it?  i.e. can an AD or ex-AD get a "show cause" penalty.

I have to say that before the revelations that led to Jurich & Pitino's exit, I saw Jurich as the model of the kind of AD I wished we had.  I don't see any way he'd get consideration for the job.

Is there a press conference today about this?

Fred's 2:00 press conference available at:  https://www.youtube.com/user/bigtennetwork/featured

Have seen Pat Kraft's name mentioned by several different people and I'm not advocating one way or the other because I'm totally unfamiliar with the man but this is from a Temple U. website and it sounds pretty good.

Off the top of my head, I'll throw out Pat Kraft, Chris Reynolds, Scott Dolson as people who I think would do a great job. 

Was just gonna say, either Kraft or Reynolds. Pray to god McRobbie gets this right.

“His legacy will be one of strong and competitive athletics programs and teams that play by the rules, a pervasive commitment to compliance and integrity, a commitment to excellent academic performance, record fund-raising and magnificent new or renovated facilities.”

This is the statement from McRobbie. This is what I am talking about regularly when it comes to the things behind the scenes that is being pushed and why Glass is doing his job. It’s also why I have concerns no matter who is in the position. You can plainly see what he wants and what he is concerned about. There is no commitment to winning. This why for the last couple of years I have said in the Fire Glass thread be careful what you wish for. You got it. Here is what he is up against.

Are you talking about the Duke Final Four game -- when we were not only playing the Devils, but the refs? ... If so, maybe you're thinking of Jamal Meeks? After Leary made all those 3s, we still had a chance to tie, but Meeks fired our final salvo -- and missed. 

I drummed up another memory of Chris Reynolds, I hope I'm not wrong on this one.  He tried dunking at Illinois but missed, so on senior night Calbert Cheaney held him up so he could dunk.  Please don't tell me this one's wrong too

Ha! ... That one did happen ... Was pretty comical! 

[LamarCheeks]

Glass is speaking to media on B1G Network now if anybody's interested. 

[Josh]

Yay!  I still have some brain cells left

Reynolds is a new member of the selection committee. Last year was his first year

Does that eliminate him from contention?

Cool.  He can vote for himself.
