Myself and all my buddies from Pike County are willing to add at least 100 dollars annually to the NIL collective if we can get Brad, right Jarrod, TJ, Eric and Kaleb.

Yea, once he officially signs I don’t see how IU or the Celtics keep it under wraps enough that it wouldnt need to be addressed nationally in short order. A couple days at most. Too many people could talk and hijack the narrative which NO ONE would allow.

I mean the Cs won’t necessarily know? And if there’s a signed agreement you don’t need to keep it under wraps, both because it would eventually be eligible for FOIA since IU is public, and because you have no reason to hide it. You can just say you’ve agreed in principle to make him coach after Woody and hold the presser after the season.

@Chris007 Were we this close before we hired Woody?

I think all the info coming out right now is probably from very high donors. 

That's what worries me, after 2021. Would love a Trilly bomb confirming...

Can we go back over why Philly is significant?

100% agree with you here.

Planes from our two areas of interest seemed to be there at the same time. Flight from Philly to Bloomington now and another from Philly to Miami to Bloomington (donor plane) as well.

Depending on who you believe, this is a similar spot to last time. Other opinions differ, based on who’s getting what story from whom

gotcha... and, at least, as we know, Philly is just a random spot? or do we know why Philly?

I guess I’m just saying— if he hypothetically signed today and word leaked through donors or someone associated with the BOT the opportunity to control the narrative evaporates and it becomes a distraction. Larger outlets will start asking q’s, so I can’t imagine they hold off saying something for more than a couple days.

Depends on BOT having an emergency meeting.

Couldn’t they just have a secret conference call to keep it under wraps?

There were meetings on campus in Bloomington / Indy with Tracy. I can confirm that.

I remember insiders feeling good, but I don't remember any mention of a verbal agreement.

Assuming any of this is true, that is.

Sorry I left out there was a flight from Bedford airport outside Boston to Philly that was supposed to land around same time as plane to Miami was taking off. Flight to Miami took off a little earlier as the Bedford plane was delayed but then another private charter popped for Philly to Bloomington a little bit after that so we don’t know.

Yes that’s called an executive session, they’re permitted to do those for some things

Re:  The significance of Philadelphia should ring a bell. 

Wasn't the Declaration of Independence signed in Philadelphia so now we are having the signing of the Declaration of Brad signed in Philadelphia. Also we w.on 2 of our titles in Philly

[IsaacTor 1,030]

There doesn't need to be any BoT emergency meetings. 

Emails and Doc U sign are good enough
