Archie. Miller. Fired.

I agree with the 0% chance, but I think your 10%  is up around 75%
When we lose out, it will be around 93.5%

I disagree. I think it very likely he’s back next season. It’s too much money.

If he is back then iu is clearly done with basketball. No way he is back it would be devastating. Iu needs to come out now and say he is back or this is going to brew into a ugly storm imo

Cuban can afford the buy-out.

He can, but he has said he's not gonna donate money to the school to hire and fire coaches.

Let's ask the other "Shark Tank" members then....

Mr. Wonderful will do the $10 million, but will take a $10 royalty on all season ticket packages until he gets his $10 million back and a $2 royalty on all plastic buckets of popcorn in perpetuity.

Back to your original point.  People with disposable money will always have money to give.  I'm sure most donors already have a certain amount of money penciled in for IU every year.  They need to for tax purposes.  As far as extra donations, yes that could waiver if the administration keeps dicking up hire after hire!

Is 20+ years of bad hires enough? LOL

Cuban can afford the buy-out.

Cuban is on record saying he will not be giving money to Fire Archie.

Good for him, you got Jane Pauley's #?

[Hoosier Guy 7,529]

I’ll be shocked if Archie is back

So did I, I wonder where it went sideways and why he couldn't fix it?

I think it is just a matter of stubbornness.  This is what worked at Dayton, so why change?  Hard lesson to learn, but maybe not so hard with a $10 mil cushion.

I think Carl Cook is the one who I'd call first. If that call hasn't been made then we're in trouble. Carl has about 5 more billion than Cuban

Wikipedia tells me his a Purdue grad. MBA from Iowa. I'm making the assumption that his family's name is the one displayed on our practice facility. But would he actually give money?

They've given more money than we can ever imagine to this university. When we needed a practice facility his dad Bill wrote a check for 6 million on the spot. The business is filled with IU grads and used to have many former players. Still a few in there.

An interesting read. Doesn't really reach a conclusion -- other than Dolson has a lot to consider when pondering Archie's future -- but there's plenty to digest.

Cool. I was wondering if Carl is the rogue son who turns off the spigot while evil laughing into the night. If I were in his position and Purdue were in ours, would I do that? I'm not definitely saying "yes".........wait, no, I am. I'm definitively saying "yes".

Carl has always been described as different. If he doesn't want to give then go to Gayle Cook his mom, she is worth 6.2 billion.

I was just thinking from the media aspect.  Pauley and Sage Steele could do wonders raising money.
