Everything I am hearing from BTB (my source for all good info) is its Brand ******* Stevens.  Take if for what it's worth, but I trust those guys a lot.

 

Ha.  I like when a bunch of seemingly independent posters align.  I am optimistic!!!

Don’t get me wrong, like hearing this stuff as much as anyone, but to paraphrase Snoop from “The Wire”, they need to shut the F up. Noting good comes from them running their mouths. Not a single thing.

From World War II.  Loose lips sink ships.

Okay so here is where we are at,:

 

So yes some high dollar donors are where I am hearing that a verbal has been reached. Sounds like last bit of piece we need to do is get approval for new salary/bonus totals. Brads agents essentially got dolson to verbally up the offer which needs board approval. Takes time for board to approve, send revised contract, get him to sign it, work out other details. 

Because of this news being massive I think they will work to expedite. Part of reason high dollar donors are first to hear is because there is some additional NIL ask that is part of the verbal with brad. 

So while this is now at the one inch line we just need to formalize. I doubt top media will hear about this until later tomorrow as they are keeping it pretty quiet right now. 

I do not know what the verbal is in terms of how much we will pay him but do know that NIL increase will likely be much higher than what woodson worked with and woodson worked with a top 10 NIL budget 

 

Awaiting the leak from the BOT.  Stay tuned...

Well well well. I hope you’re right!

Was wracking my brain trying to figure out what the impressive feat Dolson pulled might be and wondered if it was like a stake in Pacers ownership via Simon Skojt connections or something.

If this is true, someone tell Buckner not to f this one up.

Brad's agent is his wife.

Just need to give them a pen and a sheet with a line and tell them to sign, no need for them to read anything.

With certain things. She doesn't do everything with his contracts.

Buckner is on board with Stevens.  As bad as he hurt the program pushing Woodson on it, he wants IU to win and know BS is an excellent coach.

I'm declaring BTB bankruptcy... I just can't keep up... marking the forum "all read" and hope that I can keep up from here... #mindblown

What bothers some is that everyone is talking mainly about Brad Stevens and closing the contract.  

From WWII General Patton: "If everybody is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking," 

[Kodos]

Charlie Brown lines up for the field goal to win the game. In his demeanor, one can see that he has been here before. He's known heartache. He's known total, humiliating failure. Yet here he is, daring to try again. He eyes the goalpost one last time and shuffles his feet slightly. He nods to Lucy. Here's the snap. Lucy catches the ball and places it down. She spins it slightly. Laces out. Here comes Brown, he's winding up for a big kick...

Yeah, he also has MN2S but I'm not sure how much they actually do in regards to employment opportunities.

Buckner has chosen the wrench to toss into the Stevens' gears...
