Has anyone listed various reasons as to why Drew would consider Indiana? We had this discussion after Tom Crean and Archie and now we’re back to Drew as a candidate. 

I understand he’s from Indiana, yes. But he’s been in Waco since 2003. Yes you read that correctly, 2003. Champions in 2020, he has things rolling over in the Big 12. 

I think people gave you pretty good answers. I’d also point out revenue sharing. That is, imo, a bigger future unknown and could possibly exceed NIL in importance. 
 

I have no idea if Drew is considering all this or not. But I wouldn’t want to be the basketball coach of a non-B1G/SEC in Texas of all places having to lobby the admin every year against the football program for my share of an already small pool of money relative to the Big 2 conf schools. Texas Tech would fall in this category too. But McCasland will just wait for Texas or A/M it seems. Drew is at least from Indiana, thus the hopeful extrapolation. 
 

IU, UK, and a few others are in the exact opposite position: strong basketball allocations relative to the football programs from a very big pool most likely.

Someone walk me through the logic of flying into McCordsville to meet with IU. (Also, Bedford is not the regional airport closest to Brad’s house.) 

It's the other way around - flight out to Bedford and back to meet with Stevens. Apparently the Celtics use that airport. And in any case for private jets which airport is closest is not the only consideration. 

But don't take this as a endorsement of the validity! That would just be the theory, I assume.

More like microfissures. You can't see them.

I didn't start the debate yesterday and just stated why I stopped coming here for a few weeks

Ok, you guys have gone too far.

I had a dream last night, and it wasn't about pretty women or being rich. In this dream I had to watch as Mark Turgeon was hired to lead our beloved Hoosiers. 

I blame you degenerates here for allowing such intrusive thoughts to enter my subconscious mind.

Enough with the other Website stuff.   @Stuhoo posted about it yesterday.  Everyone just move on and focus on the coaching search

Sorry if I missed it, but did you ever reveal who the was the subject the chatter going around Bloomington?  If you can’t, no worries. Just curious. 

The chatter is about 1A and 1B. More 1A this last weekend.

I get your point.  There.has just been talk about all this new leaking but we have no new info.  I mean these are the worse leakers ever. 

I think it means your not in the right spot to hear or see the leaks

FWIW a few nights ago I had a dream that the Vandy coach Byington is who we hired.

I think you and I have our priorities exactly where they need to be.

I think it is pretty clear 1A has not given a firm no on the IU side. If who I am assuming is 1B is 1B we are in very good shape this search. Thanks for the voice of reason C, natives are definitely getting restless lol.
