Yes — of the 36 brackets posted in the bracket matrix today IU is listed as in the tourney on 28.  One at large below IU — Texas.
 

Time for Woodson to cook.

It's now locked. Lol

So when I said earlier that a few people can move the market or sway public opinion in a situation like this I wasn’t kidding. I think a few people here influenced this. Not only is it now locked, he moved up to 2nd from +5000 in a matter of minutes

Trilly also says Wade wants the Indiana job 

No surprise. Too bad iu won't touch him.

handsome Dusty sitting courtside scouting MSU Wisconsin for UM is so depressing lol. We need a coach

Saw their game with Purdue last night. They got lazy toward the end of the first half and let Purdue back in it. He called timeout and ripped them. They had the lead up to 15 by early second half. It's been so long since we witnessed real, unfiltered coaching here. 

[Hornsby]

It is a damn shame we didn’t get Dusty last year.  He’s going to continue having UM at the top of the conference. It will be a real travesty if we end up with an underwhelming Brownell hire. 

And we will pass on will wade and beard to hire bb. It's like we try on purpose to make bad hires.

I admittedly tried to bet a lot more, would never have signed up and deposited money had I known they would have crazy low limits like that

Yeah I deposited $50 - what I planned on betting- so put $45 on a parlay of Creighton and Maryland- if i lose them both I'll go in change my account to bogus info and never go back to it.

Yes, have read that. He's been a really good, informative poster on HSN. 

Just seems strange for a guy who works in another athletic department spends so much time on a IU board. I also find it strange that an athletic office talks so much about other programs like he describes they do.

BtownBanners trying to will Brad Stevens to IU into existence.

So how do you know this info is even true. This is why rumors are a bad thing when people actually take them as fact instead of taking it with a grain of salt. People are already playing out this  scenario even though no one knows anything 

You seem to worried about this. Seriously, it's not that big of a deal.

He went to IU and is an IU fan.

Billy D has emerged at +4000; another value buy?

Just to make my stance clear, I do think Dolson has something up his sleeve. 

I think there is almost no chance that it's Stevens, but I do think there is a good chance he's got something lined up that we're all going to be happy with. 

I have hope that we're going to be looking at someone like Pearl, Otz, May, or someone in that range that's off our radar at the moment. 

I'm not a "we're doomed, it's Brownell or a mid-major coach" guy. 

With that said, i would still be somewhat excited if it was McCollum or someone like that. 

I wasn't referring to you or really anyone else on this board. I was referring to some journalists and talking heads.

I also don't think it's Stevens. I didn't buy that talk even last time.

Here's a fun question for @Chris007.

Plugged the current odds into an AI model, and asked it to but together a betting framework that would be a good mix of safe and with a good payout. Here's what it gave me.

Final Recommendation

Place $50 on Brad Brownell (-200), $20 on Ben McCollum (+200), $15 on Greg McDermott (+500), and $15 on Dusty May (+1000). This strategy balances the safety of a favorite with the lucrative potential of underdogs, minimizing risk (max loss $100, often less) while maximizing outcome (up to $65 profit). If you have insights suggesting a specific underdog is undervalued, adjust accordingly—but based solely on these odds, this spread optimizes the dual goals.

 

Do you take those candidates or the field?

All good! I didn't think you were calling me out or referring to me, was just using your post as a jumping point to clarify where I stand.

Yes but not in the IU athletic department which is what the poster asked. He’s just an IU alum interested in the hire as a fan.

Lol are you me? I deposited 100 fully intending it for a Stevens value bet and ended up spreading it around available games after only getting 5 on Stevens hahaha
