I thought that I read somewhere on this site that McRobbie said no additional cost to IU... meaning (without donor infusion) that the IU athletic department would pay the new guy no more than Archie was getting per his contract...

IF that's true, we would need donor cash for the buyout (transition costs?) and for additional salary.

Someone correct me if I'm off-base on this, but....

I know the athletic department has NO access to any tax dollars. This is state law for state supported universities in Indiana.

So I would think this might preclude the department from having access to the IU general fund? Does the department not operate 100% based on athletic revenues including sales AND donations?

If that is so, then what is McRobbie's problem with the department having say as to how they spend money the department raised?

What am I missing here?

Hey, we are best in the Big Ten in something. Strange to see NC State fans so high on the crazy list.

I can't say... I've been gone from Indiana for almost 45 years now, so I don't know about that law... but you raise a good question...

Norm Sloan, Valvano, Everett Case, David Thompson, Sidney Lowe, etc. NC State has a rich basketball history and two banners. They are a sleeping giant for sure.

Similar to IU in many, many ways. Recently trying with Keatts, who it seems is not getting it done.

If Holtmann manufactured this rumor for purposes of engineering an extension from OSU, why would he leak that he'd turned it down and intended to stay in Columbus? You'd want to leave open the possibility that you might leave, to increase your leverage.

He’s not negotiating right now and likely doesn’t actually expect a new deal right now. He was making sure it was known that he is a desirable coach and defraying attention from his disappointing tournament performance. It’s a long game about perception.

In a search where no one knows a damn thing, do people actually believe this internet poster knows the exact date and time of an announcement?

Come on.

I believe we can hire a coach who is as successful as was Crean and doesn't wear out all those who work with him. Crean did win 2 Big Ten titles. IU will be in the tourney next season with the current players on the team. Hire Fife and end this circus instead of waiting for Oats and others to turn you down.

I would think after Ohio St threatened murder on their start player after they lost, they would have landed in the number one spot...just sayin.....

Hiring Fife just prolongs the circus bud. He’s not the guy for this job.

Another rumor for the rumor mill....my wife works in a large (class 6A) Indiana high school, and the folks in the athletic department there believe the hire will be Beilein with Calbert as the coach-in-waiting.  They have heard Beilein will coach 3 years and then turn the reins over to Calbert.  I asked her who they heard this from and she has no idea.  It kind of makes sense if they're considering Beilein, but I don't know....maybe they know something, maybe they don't.  

If that was the case, it would be done.  Scott is waiting for the top candidates to finish the tourney.  In the meantime, he's just messing with us.

I had enough of Fife back when he (along with some others) threatened to leave if IU did not hire the coach of their choice after Knight was fired. I would have gladly helped him pack and get his self-entitled butt out of town.

The problem is the guys most think "are the guy for this job" are not coming to IU. Oats and Musselman have better situations now. No way they leave those for a rebuilding program. Zero percent. So who will take the Indiana job that has the most upside? It's either Fife or Lewis. Porter Moser has a worse tourney record than Archie and runs the same slow down offense. Fife already recruits in the Big Ten and will take over our conference's best program when Izzo retires. Michigan St fans seem to think he's head coaching material.

I'm an NC State fan. We really wanted Archie in 2017 so thanks for taking that bullet for us. I'm here to see how this coaching search plays out for you.

We have a history of being crapped on by Goodman and Doyel. We know how it feels to be one coach away from being relevant again but the national media loves to push a narrative against you. Regarding Keatts, I think he's doing fine. We've been .500 or above in conference for his first four years.
