A question I have asked, but no one seems to know.  If we were to go to the Crown Tournament, but most of our team is in the portal, then what happens?  Does IU face some kind of fine?  They just go on to the next team in line?  This will be interesting for sure.

Exactly this. I think there’s a couple variables in this. 

A) Do the current players have language in their NIL deals that they must compete in all games when healthy until the completion of the season. That will factor. 

B) Is there a fine to not play as a team 

C) What if a team is undergoing a coaching team, do they have to play?

I have no idea, but I suppose we’ll find out Sunday evening to Monday evening.

All of this seems to be pointing in one direction.

 

based on people on the internet claiming to have inside info..

 

so, don’t bet the house on it just yet

They only let us bet $5 before they locked it!

Brian Evans said we should go after him if for no other reason but to make Purdue double his salary.

A) This will be a no, per the rules NIL cannot be tied to playing.  I know that sounds crazy because it's effectively "pay for play," but technically they're just getting paid for their name, image, and likeness.

It was a thought going into next season with revenue sharing. There’s been discussion of player contracts with language such as that.

Yea, I follow you, I'm just thinking out loud.  I really want to see some of the terms in those rev share contracts which will be tied to playing…

Someone posted in here last night that it’s a requirement for teams that didn’t make the tournament to play in it. Not sure how accurate that is. I find it completely stupid. No one wants to play in a losers tournament now that the portal is here.

Well, then that’s completely absurd that they start the portal on the 24th. There would be no way for us to field a team if we have to go to that crown tournament.

Brad stevens or Tommy Lloyd?

Chris Collins said that Northwestern would not play in it and they would be one of the two auto bids from the Big Ten.

Oh Bradley, My Bradley (a poem by AI)

The parquet gleamed, a canvas bright,
Where Stevens danced, a symphony of light.
With Celtics green, he wove his spell,
A master tactician, a knowledge well.
But Indiana called, a siren's song,
Where crimson hues, where Hoosiers throng.
A challenge new, a path untrod,
To build a dynasty, to please the gods.
The Celtics' heart, a pang it felt,
As Stevens' ship, with Hoosier sails, was dealt.
Yet gratitude remained, for seasons grand,
A legacy etched, a guiding hand.
Now Bloomington beckons, a fresh domain,
Where Stevens' wisdom, hope to reign.
With Hoosier grit, and tactics keen,
A new chapter, a vibrant scene.

 

You're not a Vogon, by any chance?

Why does everyone think Stevens is in play? Hasn’t he been pretty clear that he’s not doing it?

He's only been clear in saying that he likes who he works with...
