We toss around IU's NIL in many posts - but which would you take

1) A top 2 or 3 coach in the game but only 1/2 the current NIL

2) Top NIL in the country and slightly above average coach

 

#1 is more or less Purdue.  They may have a little more than 50% of our NIL, 2/3 at most though.  And yea maybe Matt isn’t top 2 or 3, but he is up there.

I’d take #1 and pray a great coach can get players at a discount.

We really need to find a way to relax for a month. Nothing is happening right now

I'm guessing we'll have one day where we get a good 30-40 pages

I think McCollum is coaching in the Big Ten next season. 

I'd be happy if it was here but it'll be Iowa.So two great up and comers we miss on and have to coach against if Dusty stays at UM.

And better than Crean. Better than Sampson at IU since he didn’t make it two full years. And better than Davis. As unexciting as he is, Cronin would be the best hire since Sampson and probably have the best tenure since Knight. That’s not high praise for Cronin. I think it applies to many potential candidates this cycle. 

That's a very sad commentary on the state of Indiana basketball... historically crap for 30+ years... let's get a guy with no off-court issues who can turn this around... please...

....there's only 1 chosen one.

Neo? You want Keanu Reeves to coach basketball here? /s

Alford is probably a better choice than we have now, sadly.

Honestly, definitely not probably.

While I love Keanu Reaves, the chosen one is Anakin Skywalker. Or Brad Stevens :)

Based on the last 25 years of coach hiring decisions at IU, I'm worried that a bad result might be inevitable.  Meantime, we should relax and enjoy it.    

      My statement above will probably be misinterpreted.

IndyStar poo poo’d the rumors in their article this morning (Niziolek and Osterman), they wrote, “The overwhelming majority of noise and fury filtering through the IU basketball ecosystem right now is, to use an industry term, crap.”

 

Meh -- they didn't talk about any rumors.  They followed up that statement with "a lack of new, though, does not mean a lack of action."  I think they were just saying that they didn't have enough information on any rumor regardless of what it is to consider it 'news'.

Trick question... a top 2 or 3 coach in the game would demand top NIL...

$500?  I take the field you take stevens?

How about he puts up $1 for every post you've made here and you put up $1 for every post he's made.  Sound fair?

Wish he could have gotten hold of Calamari during that Temple/UMass press conference .I'll kill you MF!

Loved John Chaney and agreed with his sentiment.

 

I'd post the video but the words aren't bleeped out.

Not how I read it.  These guys don’t believe the Stevens rumors.

But I so want BTB posters to be right.

I think if they were talking about one rumor in particular, they would have simply stated it.  On this board alone we have talked about rumors of Stevens, May, Cronin, and freaking Brownell.  And even then the rumors we have read have been different ones for each candidate.
