Maybe I’m reading too much into this, though. But when my best donation is a Laurel and Hearty handshake, they just pay me on the head and make sure I don’t eat clay.

I highly doubt Dolson can hire whoever he wants. I've been on Rivals a while and that guy is an iffy source at best and I don't really buy the timeline of his story. Just my $0.02.

Popular Post Home Jersey Posted February 27 Popular Post Posted February 27 I don’t get why if Dolson supposedly has known who the next coach would be for months, the scheduling of the games has nothing to do with the next coach? If you have a coach in waiting, wouldn’t you get their opinion on scheduling? Seems unlikely they would know months in advance. Maybe a good sense for their options, and now do know. Maybe. Looking forward to announcing a really good coach. IU Faithful, MikeRoberts, thebigweave and 9 others 12

Fair or unfair, the public perception alone (details in a police report or investigation don't matter) of some candidates could damage IU's image/brand/rep and it's within Pam and the Board's purview to get involved in such situations.

We have plenty of money to spend but we're not going 10 million or above for any of the other coaches not named Brad. Also, one donor's big money is only for Brad. Curious if he was the donor that seemed the happiest at the Purdue game. :)

Think it's more of I'd be willing to contribute more for Brad. Just like you'd donate more to your kids education if he went to an Ivy League school vs welding school. You'd probably help out either way but one needs more investment for a higher dividend. Chris007 1

I had a friend who went to a donors gathering before the Purdue game at Cook Hall and they were telling people that Scott had his guy but wouldn't name names. So don't know if their just saying that or what. I can't imagine Scott has told very many people if he does have his guy. If that's true it is comforting knowing you don't have a guy this early if he IU had to go down to your 5-10 options.
