I could see Gregg leaving. Creighton has a lot of fan support but they’ve lost players because of NIL before. Ashworth and kalkbrenner both graduate this year so a rebuild here with our resources is probably easier than at Creighton. Maybe he looked over at St. John’s yesterday and saw how they could just buy a great team and doesn’t want to compete against that without the same NIL money. Plus we can give him a nice raise. It is funny though that we start talking about him as a candidate and then he goes and loses 2 straight. Still would love to have to him though 

Do we know if Creighton plans to partake in the 22 million dollar salary cap / payment of players? Mid-majors can opt out. P4 schools likely can't unless they want to lose.

I thought this guy could be a candidate a couple years ago. However, I am glad he's not the Indiana coach. We got lucky on this one folks. 

 

Micah Shrewsberry goes OFF: "I watched more Louisville fans in here than Notre Dame fans. And that's EMBARRASSING... And yes, I got us in this predicament. But don't come back when we're winning. Everybody that gave up on me, write this date down."

 

Eeeek, Goode at least had the excuse of youth when he made such a tone deaf statement.

Both of those guys are doing great at their programs. No need to move to Indiana just to restart and maybe a larger NIL. 

Can McDermott win a title at Creighton?

That’s funny that you hate Cronin so much but Micah who has had 1 above .500 season in his career would be ok with you

I rather have Pearl than Greg. At least Pearl has proven himself on the P4 in the NIL era.

In terms of revenue, they aren't? Or?

Tbf i think everyone in the country would prefer pearl but i don’t know why he’d leave either

I mean, yeah, but I also think Pearl less likely to leave.

Big East is a mid-major conference unless you expect Butler, Providence, etc., to compete in the 23 million dollar salary cap next year.

...I'm sitting in my classroom with zero students today, by choice. I just needed to get out of the house. lol

We got a virtual learning day because of the snow. Students have a shortened class schedule, including a required google meet with teachers. lol 

I chose to come to school so I can be at my desk, do my google meets and follow this board today in quiet. Let's keep the good news flowing today!

Go IU!

We are off since it's President's Day.  I'm alone in my house scrolling waiting for some good news, and I am drinking my coffee.  Nothing to do but wait.  I should be grading, but that sounds like Tuesday's problem.  Go Hoosiers!

Not me!

For this year? Sure.

But at Indiana? He’d be 65 years old his first day on the job and we’d have maybe one recruiting cycle before he was gone too.

To be clear... you want McDermott over Pearl? I'm not insinuating anything, I'm asking.

Very rarely though you win with freshmen. Look at Rutgers. So he might get it turned around but it's going to take some time
