He has had a lot of downs this season but I know he is dealing with some serious off the court issues and I'm sure Eric knows that too so that is sad if he's kicking him when he is down

Is the issue with Garzon resolved, or is it still ongoing?

Been resolved for a while.

I saw that the Lucas Oil game is considered a home game and not a neutral site game. That means that IU controls the tickets like a home game. It's possible IU wanted that for some reason (I think it was Cal but just saying it's possible). It does seem like it would be better to have both home games  in Bloomington, at least to me.

Yep - IU controls ticket distribution for that game.  UK will get an allotment but nowhere near the old half & half arrangement in past years in Indy.  And, IU will get the money from any tickets sold to Kentucky.

Well, we have a pretty good band over here.  Oh wait, you said banned!   We won't hold that against you very long but you do have to wear a 'B' on your chest.  Glad to have you move from lurker to poster.

There are worse things to have on your chest,

I must have missed that. Did he face any disciplinary action?

That is a strong allegation. 

Nope.  They provide zero transparency.  They don't even provide the basic financial updates they promise to their donors on their crappy website.  

It's easy to do, and until they do that, it's shady behavior.

Haven't decided yet but I'll prepare myself for after the Ohio State game when I get home if and when my tear ducts are all cried out.

I'm not going to get into it. He has his faults like we all do

You’re right the HH collective is shady.  It’s a zero transparency slush fund for those two with no oversight or financial controls — put simply they almost certainly skim from it despite claiming every dollar goes to IU athletes.

If anyone wants to give to NIL please go to Hoosiers Connect for a collective with proper oversight and professional operations.

I agree it is a strong allegation. Probably should have included some qualifiers, such as "in my opinion it's a slush fund" or "they could be skimming from it" rather than present those opinions as fact.

Nonetheless the way their collective is structured leaves the door wide open for shady behavior. And we just have to take their words for it that everything's kosher.

I hope not. But hopefully he relays what he’s hearing. Whether it be good or bad. If it’s not Brad then so be it I can sulk and move on to our next option.

That's too sophisticated for my drinking fundamentals.

Pretty sure that Mgbako's faults are different from yours.

Nevertheless, I hope that he gets help to become a better man than he is as a late teenager.

I'm a pretty big Dolson supporter/defender, but he likely got too close with these two.  First off, I hope IU is requiring an audit or review of their collective.  IU is fundamentally associated with them and should confirm their claims are true (all donations to athletes... doubtful) and of course IU should confirm they can deliver on promises to players.  Second, their behavior is net negative for IU athletics.  Some of their podcasts are good, and that's fine.  But there are so many bad X posts, Peegs posts, podcast comments, and instances of bad public behavior that IU shouldn't be associating with them.  I cannot believe Scott let them host an event at Assembly Hall.

The HH can do their thing, it's a free country.  But IU needs to keep them out of the athletic department and be cautious when they include them in our player NIL deals.

Agree 100% with all of this.

Their behavior on X is genuinely so awkward and cringe, and any time someone is remotely critical Eric blocks them. It's an awful look for the university for these guys to have any access to the program whatsoever.

I'll never forget Eric suggesting in an X post that Trey Galloway marry his (extremely underage) daughter. Just weirdo behavior and a complete lack of decorum for someone who was hosting events in Assembly Hall with players.

I’m wondering why there’s a need for an update. I thought we had our guy? That worries me. Especially since Sam Story just lost his mind on Trilly discord and basically said Dolson told him Steven’s absolutely will not be the coach.
