Is the 17th confirmed?

Several people seem to think it will be then...but not confirmed...

Since I'm choosing to keep the White Whale dream alive, I'm also going to be keeping the "it'll leak sooner than Monday" dream alive.

We ride at dawn.

Brownell being an actual top of the list candidate is sobering 

Do we actually think he's a top of the list candidate though? I have my doubts, but I guess nobody truly knows at this point. 

That said, definitely also excited for the news after the news - when we find out how many of these rumors were complete nonsense lol.

But it wasn't at the time... the dude cheated... obviously had an issue with following rules, or was interested in taking a shortcut... and as the leader of the program, he should set the example for his team...

I'm really tired of people justifying rule breaking because "it's legal now"... just because others cheated and didn't get caught or punished is no excuse...

Ask Houston if they care what Sampson did was illegal "at the time".

He didn't cheat there.... Oklahoma and Indiana... and he sat out of college ball for 5 years (show cause)... paid his debt... it's pretty black/white, cut and dried.

No way this is true right… is this the kicking and screaming game right?

When the institution setting the rules doesn’t bother enforcing them and instead celebrates schools blatantly violating them, the rules are meaningless. UNC’s players literally took fake classes and nothing happened to the basketball program. Wade got caught, did his time, and likely will go win a bunch of games for some P5 school. Unfortunately with IU’s holier than thou attitude it won’t be us.

What are you talking about? "He didn't cheat there" So what? By the time Sampson got back to college that rule wasn't a thing anymore, same as what Wade did. Wade paid his debt too. And somebody is gonna hire him and win big.

No offense but it's not even worth posting lol. Has 0 to do with any "game" being played other than usual internet trolling

Really all could’ve been avoidable. The biggest what if. Maybe 2 titles by now?  I guess what pisses me off more is that Myles Brand decided to announce it right in the middle of the season. Gordon was on a podcast some time ago and is still surprised/disappointed that they didn’t wait till end of season to deal with it…had national title aspirations that year and thought they could’ve won…of course, with Brand that wasn’t happening. Had to be right in the heart of season…done on purpose. Then again, still shocking we told on ourselves over phone calls lol. So trivial and benign when every other big school was paying players, fake classes and hiring strippers.

CurryHicks breaking news was Virginia related. (Shaka Smart potentially interested in Virginia)

Exactly. The point is to be proactive and to hire these guys before somebody else does. Not let somebody else take a chance on him, he wins big and gets comfortable, and by then he won't want to leave while we're floundering with whatever mediocre coach we decided to hire instead.

Yeah, I call BS... Dolson should have burned it to the ground... kicked his butt out in February so he could tend to these "threats".

Weird, wonder why? Thought he was a Wisconsin guy and not like UVA has got a good NIL situation / kind of weird spot in the ACC / maybe academic requirements, probably higher than Marquette's?

Professional meatrider sounds like a legit source to me… lol. 

Alum or not though, Dolson should’ve canned Woodson’s butt in February to eliminate any charades like this. I’m sure some idiots will believe this and use to to push their “IU fans are toxic” BS.

Between the NCAA and the FBI, somebody cared... and Wade got caught red-handed... you can't just explain that away...

Cheating is cheating. Period. Same goes for UNC, UCLA/Wooden/Gilbert, Kentucky, Kansas... who doesn't matter... one either has a moral compass or they don't. Clearly, I am in the minority here... but it's my take.

No need to continue talking about it.
