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 

 

Don't sound like they are keeping it to quiet if they told you

Can we go back over why Philly is significant? 

Ned's plane was in Philly, had been since Wednesday.  It was then headed back to Opa for 10 mins, then back to Clark.  All the while a plane from Boston was set to land in Philly,  timing didn't make sense as there was a gap, but they ended up missing each other by 10 mins.  Shortly after that a flight from Philly to Bloomington showed up, due to land at 4:54.

We need eyes and ears at the airport immediately.

Lots of statistics can be cited to compare Josh Schertz and Ben McCollum. The bottom line? Their resumes are remarkably similar; McCollum has more Division 2 tourney success but a slightly lesser D2 won/loss record, Schertz has much more D1 experience and now experience and success in a better conference. 

Schertz has a much more modern playing style and pace.

If I showed people a blind comparison most would likely choose Schertz, but it's splitting hairs.

So my summary conclusions:

1. Why in the hell are some people so intrigued by the prospect of McCollum but not about Schertz also?
2. Why in the hell would anyone prefer either of them to McDermott, Buzz, McCasland, and many, many others that have substantial Division 1 accomplishments?

My theory? The reason so many are more intrigued by McCollum than Schertz is because

McCollum looks more like this: 

 

Whereas Schertz (and Buzz lol) looks more like this:

You need your eyes checked. McCollum looks more like Gollum than he looks like Colin Farrell.

Genuinely would be a good idea for an enterprising media school student. A UM student staked out the airport for Harbaugh’s arrival and has parlayed that into a journalism career

In fairness, if Colin Farrell was a CBB coach he wouldn’t look like Colin Farrell, either. Probably closer to Rick Majerus.

Myself and all my buddies from Pike County are willing to add at least 100 dollars annually to the NIL collective if we can get Brad, right Jarrod, TJ, Eric and Kaleb. 

Welcome to btb.  What would be a far better use of your money would be a direct payment of $100 to each of us mods. lol

  Glad to have you join us and look forward to seeing you as a regular poster.

Btw got messages and idk if guys like trilly Donovan or Jeff rabjohns know. Although I am highly confidence that rabjohns will be the last of media to know as he has burned many bridges with IU

If I were guessing who’d break anything I would shortlist Shams, Thamel, Osterman, maybe Rick Bozich (he had Woody’s hiring first)

Good haha

I follow a few of you and get notifications when you post. But it appears that it only takes me to the first missed post that you have made. Then I have to scroll and scroll and scroll to see if you have posted again. Is there a setting that gives me a notification for every post mad and not just you have posted at least once?

Welcome, Sir.
And this right here is exactly why, as Hovadipo mentioned a while back, that Brad Stevens/IU would be the Dodgers of NIL.
