I think we will have a statement tomorrow. Hopefully it’s not bad news but I would brace yourself just in case.

He’s back for another year isn’t he... I hate being an IU fan sometimes.

Did you really expect otherwise?  With this administration?

I don’t know, but in all my years at IU we rarely make the right decision

Nope. But it hurts just the same. Looks like little to no IU basketball for me next year.

I doubt he is back next year. It would have leaked already if he was.

Potentially a hot take, but I’m more than fine with the athletic department unloading an enormous salary on Oats. I think he’s the real deal and worth totally banking on him for 40+ years. I know he hasn’t won anything in March yet and has yet to prove himself, but I would be similarly-elated if Oats is hired as I would be if Stevens, Drew, or Beard were.

I'm glad Friday came and went. Always beware of the Friday afternoon news dump.

They've already shown how much they care, zilch.  If they did they wouldn't be okay with paying Miller 3 mil to be worse than Mike Davis.

Archie was always going to get 4 years. His contract, except for the buyout made sense. He should be giving us OSU/Illinois like results. We’d all be moderately happy. But he was always going to get 4 years. Now try again. I think it’s a mixed bag, because much of the admin might not care, but they realize the importance of a successful program.

 

I think he will be fired, soon.

He's had an embarrassing 4 years.  They should move on but won't because they're okay with this crap.  He hasn’t even been mediocre, he's been horrible, but nothing will happen because the administration is negligent at best and malignant at worst.

I mean seriously. You don’t think someone at the IndyStar would love to post and Article that says Archie is staying? I think they are doing their digging with their sources and are not getting anything. Which means its likely means he is gone.

 

 

Someone would have leaked to the media if he was staying.

I think you will be pleasantly surprised. Or I’ll be shocked and BTownBanners won’t see much of me for a while. I’ve been disgruntled with Archie for a long time. Glad to see the swing this season. It’s wide ranging now.

Scott is more than likely not letting anyone into the process. He doesn’t want things to leak as a first year AD.

Anyone else watching this OSU ILL game? My buddy and I were discussing the other day how awesome the swag is for OSU and ILL. How they are legit cool programs and cool teams. We started talking about how they were different then IU and one of the biggest things we came up with was the Nike sponsorship. We then started talking about Nike and how when you're 18, you have no money and cool swag is such an important thing in your life. Go on any website and you'll see 30 awesome nike things for a random Nike school and when its the IU section there's like 2 dumpy shirts. I don't believe adidas helps IU sell any merch what so ever and I'm not sure kids are excited about getting free Adidas gear. Go to any open Gym in the US and no kid is wearing adidas. I know Fred Glass designed our most recent uniforms which is why our tops don't match the bottoms and the cuts of our uniforms are so dumpy. IU definitely has a style issue. Does anyone else agree? I'm not against keeping the White home unis, but can we please switch our sponsorship from Adidas to Nike? and can we please add like 3 alternate jerseys with our names on the back?

I'd gladly be wrong on this but I'm rarely surprised in a good way.  He should've had a pink slip waiting for him after the Rutgers game ended, yet here we are.

Just such a joke. Tells me all I need to know about Dolson. Already knew about our admin but just more of the same. Glad we hired a yes man and that not even making the freaking tourney in 4 years is acceptable. F this

Fire Dolson too if he brings this scrub back for another year. But knowing that our university wants the AD to be nothing more than a puppet in a suit, Dolson is doing his job perfectly.

It's pathetic. I go to the Nike website and can see all kinds of stuff for all of their sponsored schools. Sure, some big schools have more items than others but at least they all have something.  I go to the Adidas site, there's almost nothing. One pair of shoes, 4 pairs of socks. Only the shoes have an IU logo on them, the socks are just red/white. 

The Adidas deal was a disaster from day 1. Never should've left Nike.
