@Trish you think McCollum to Iowa breaks before the NCAA tourney?

Not until after Drake is eliminated.

That buyout's gonna pay for the Royal Corn Wedding...

lol.  Extra fishy.  McCollum needs a new agent.  Seems desperate imo.  Two years removed from D2 and think you can manipulate BIG schools.

Doubt that's true. But if that happens within the next couple of days, here's what'll be next ... 

Drake AD (invoking his best Bo Schembechler) goes to McCollum and says, "Ben, we enjoyed your tenure here, but it's time for you to pack up and get out. I want Drake to be coached by a Drake man!" 

Top assistant then leads the Bulldogs on a magical run to the ... second round of the NCAA tourney!

Divert attention from what?

I don't think IU put out the McCollum stuff. If he is interested in Iowa, it would make sense to leak that he is a top candidate at Indiana to push Iowa into making a move on McCollum. 

Not sure if that's the case, just saying that could be an explanation.  Goodman puts out these types of statements every off-season that don't end up turning into anything.  So we'll see.  

I'll take McCollum over Brownell everyday though.

I responded to a post wondering if today was a good day to monitor FlightAware (I said it was not). Anything else I’ve stated has been factual, as well. Lastly, anyone who gets pissed off on a Friday because of what someone posts on an IU basketball forum needs to examine their priorities. 

As would one that feels empowered by policing grammar on a sports message board.

Here's a question...

I'm a college bball journalist with a decent following...agents approach me to put out buzz about their coach, to get them a raise, extension, or for their desired school to feel pressure to make a move. But...with a little kick-back if it works to their favor. 

Think this ever happens?

This has been discussed I’m sure but if it’s gonna be a 3rd tier coach why not just Hire Alford? I’m sure he has great connections in Indiana high school coaching circles.I know he has been a pretty Average coach for the most part but I do think he could succeed at IU. I’m gonna get blasted I’m sure. I want to be clear he wouldn’t be my 1-3 choice. 

[Home Jersey 15,092]

At least if Dolson is caught with his pants down and richard in hand again, this time we'll probably end up with somebody who has been a college basketball head coach before and a HC more recently than 7 years before he was hired...

Only way you can really outdo yourself on that front is hire Isiah/Wittman/Turgeon.

I'd say Alford would be my choice before Brownell for sure.....but to be clear ... I don't want Alford

You don't have to pay them cash, the scoop is enough. Adam Schefter has made a multimillion-dollar career doing just this with NFL agents.

I have some experience in Media Relations, albeit not in college sports. Depends how you're defining "kick-back" 

Definitely not financial IMO... at least not in my experience. Trust is their currency.

Kick-back in the sense of, "you scratch my back on this, I'll scratch your back down the line" ... 100%

Well, per reports, they did not even give him time of day last two openings so I doubt he is even interested at this point...
