If you have to ask what it is, you can’t afford it. ;)

Guess I’m too dumb and poor for you cryptic insiders.  So concerned about May but a deal for Brad was already done.  Makes sense.

Tired of the administrative malfeasance! We are the penultimate case study of mismanaging a major, historically elite college athletic brand. We keep bringing in inexperienced insiders to run and influence IU athletics  (Glass, Dolson), allow undue influence of board members and major donors - and then settle for risk, mediocrity and nepotistic, emotional choices to lead the program who have absolutely no business being in their roles. 
Major college sports is big business and we’ve squandered our capital again and again with on bad decision  hire after hire. Hiring Woodson in the first place was a really poor decision. Bringing him back for a year 4 was completely insulting. Clean house and bring in professionals!

Drew, Cronin, Buzz, Brownwell…feels like ceiling is top 1/3rd of B1G…top 3 once every 5 years or so. 

It disgusts me a bit, but go get Beard and a new AD.

And if Woodson really did go and ask about his job, and if it caused this whole thing of announcing his retirement a few before the season ended instead of at the end, he could've caused a lot of problems of coaches we could get getting paid like May to stay before we could possibly talk to them. Am I over thinking that? Did that screw Dolson on his search?

interesting that someone outside of our IU sphere is thinking it will be stevens.  Not just that we want him but it will be him.  

Not really, that is their copium for losing May!

I get your point and agree with some of it. But the only big business in college sports is football.  Despite our terrible history in that sport, it’s going pretty darn well thanks to Dolson.

Yo, listen up, it's time to unwind,
We all need to relax, leave the stress behind,
Scott Dolson's got a plan, it's all in line,
To make IU grand, no need to re-design,
He's the man with the vision, the mastermind,
Got the blueprint, and the skills to shine,
So take a deep breath, let the worries cease,
We're in good hands, no need to freeze,
IU's on the rise, it's time to rejoice,
The future's bright, no need to voice,
Concerns or doubts, they're just a waste,
Scott Dolson's got this, it's time to embrace,
So let's chill, and let the man do his thing,
IU's gonna thrive, it's gonna be the king,
Marching band, come on, let's hear you play,
IU's on the move, in a major way!"

Stevens or bust. Hopefully our insiders are hinting that stevens is a done deal. Can't tell for sure what they mean

Sorry, but even mentioning Brownell in the same sentence as those other 3 is outlandish.  

And Scott Drew is also a tier above the other 2 by quite a bit (also a tier above Beard imo).  Anybody not happy with a Scott Drew hire for basketball reasons is out of their minds. (I don't see him leaving Baylor anyways, so it doesn't matter)

[IUwins0708]

I have more faith in Dolson than any other AD we’ve ever had.  We all should.  He’s finally allowed to do his job just like he was for football.  He’s an Indiana guy through and through.

Just so we’re on the same page Andy Mohr doesn’t sit behind the bench, he sits behind the basket.

We are definitely on the same page

Geez Moplady, lighten up, it was a joke. A hooker joke at that. I talked to the other “insiders” and you’re alright in our book. Relax.

Is Dolson’s plan you speak of plan A or C?

Either are good plans but I prefer A

[HoosierBoiler]

On a bright note anyone that will dive in a two hour radius from Bloomington to recruit will be better than we have now!

Dusty signed a 10 year deal at FAU in 2023. 

Need to see the details to determine in this is anything but damn - it sucks being an IU fan. We put Woody's feelings over winning. Dusty should be our head coach RIGHT NOW.

Even so, at the very least, a new contract means that the buyout goes up... probably a ton.

Don't sign anything, Dusty!

He used to sit UNDER the basket at one point.

May spoke exclusively to CBS Sports' Matt Norlander on Friday, shortly before his Wolverines hosted their rivalry matchup against No. 14 Michigan State. 

The reason for the timing?

"We've picked up positive momentum as a team, and on the recruiting front, and we didn't want it to be a distraction internally or externally," May told CBS Sports.

 

"I think it makes it obvious: I'm staying at Michigan," May told CBS Sports, adding, "I really wasn't interested in leveraging in negotiating" with Michigan as the team works toward a high NCAA Tournament seed.
