The academic issue is another misnomer. The grades were very good first semester. 2nd semester was a failure after the season went sideways because there was no more hope.. we don’t self report..there are no Fs

I don’t remember it that way, it took Crean some time to build the academic record back up, and it wss the blatant drug culture that turned off Cody’s older brother. I’d have to see the academic history but that’s not how I remember it and I was following the program then

Which is another good point. Some of our rivals had fake classes (or in UK…they just never went)…but as mentioned above, that team had good grades first semester. It went to crap after we self reported because in some players’ eyes… There was no point of going to class anymore - their season had just been ruined.

Woodson comes back and wins a title?

Do they have a title for laziest coach in college?

Choice one. Hire dusty. Choice two. Give Woodson 6 million and let him cook. Iu makes choice two 100% of the time..They have to honestly try to be this incompetent for 25 years.

Watching Michigan win and Dusty talk… not to belabor the point… but unless we get a really great coach, passing on him to retain Woodson for a 4th year will feel pretty unforgivable for a while. Personally speaking.

More than opinion:)

some seem to think it’s 100% done. I’m close but not 100. Would love to be proven wrong!

Will it likely leak from IU or Brownell's camp?

If he's right about Stevens, then he will earn credibility...until then I remain skeptical...

Just one in a long line of horrible decisions made by iu. Par for the course

And the very next year Sampson’s violations were no longer ncaa violations. He had pissed off the ncaa when he left okla while it was under investigation for his “sins”…. 
The real underlying problem with Sampson though was his disregard of academics (several players were failing) and the drug culture that surrounded his program. He’s a Hell of a coach but he wouldn’t have ended up being right for IU anyway (I say that while ducking, his x’s and o’s are outstanding). Hard to know what’s going on behind the scenes here in Houston, UH doesn’t have the same academic culture in its sports programs, and he may run his program differently now after all this time and the experience of a 5-year show cause and  assistant coaching in the League.

You had way more of a drug culture with Tom Crean with players smoking in their dorm room, getting hit by teammates in autos, and getting arrested. Most of Sampson’s players quit going to class after their coach got canned. I believe Armon Bassett was suspended a couple games but was done internally. Who else got arrested or kicked out drugs?

Friendly reminder to everyone enjoying their Saturday afternoon.

Dusty May came off a national championship appearance and Indiana still failed to fire Woodson. Meanwhile, he’s at Michigan as the 3rd seed with a 23-9 record in his first year. What exactly did Woodson do his final year? Nothing. 

 

Don’t think Dolson isn’t paying attention to this. More reason why this will be a home run hire.

The ncaa is a joke for sure — but for us kinda older guys, RMK’s players graduated, and generally had B averages, he ran the program strictly.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not some kind of academic hawk, but then you have a school like UNC with a history of a fake academic program- that’s complete crap.
A program should be working the line of ncaa rules, working with the bball program to advise it in the grey but not against the program as some kind of gotcha group, buy also not deliberately faking academics and ignoring the rules.

It should be illegal to do something that stupid, unfortunately for us as fans it isn't.
