Dolson hiring Beard, of course assuming the other higher end guys said no, would atleast signify that he wants to win and is refusing to bow to social pressures.  Hire a coach to coach basketball.  

If we were an NBA team or a minor league team this would make sense.  However, we are the flagship University of the state.  The IU basketball coach will be one of the most visible individuals representing the university.  His past actions matter.  Beard will not be hired by IU.  There are other qualified candidates without the baggage.

IU brass is coming around to the idea of Chris Beard in Bloomington. Lots of conversations by his agents behind the scenes this past weekend, trying to prove that he is a new man. Not a done deal, but it’s trending toward at least a possibility. 

Don’t shoot the messenger!

I shared this on Monday. Pay me instead or Rabby. He’s 3 days late!

If they want money cut from a lot of their university programs….they are going to feel some pain.  There will be fall back on this and it won’t be pretty.

I’m Turegon’s biggest fan, he is awesome, I am totally not being paid to promote (or being held), and a great coach

college athletics is now professional sports with revenue sharing and NIL. I say this as someone who thinks what Beard “allegedly” did as terrible. The players are literally getting paid to play, the definition of professional sports.

And I thought 25 years of losing and 6 head coaches would cause that.  At least that’s what I was told with each coach.  Good news.  Dolson still has a blank check for the basketball program with donors who are more worried about wins at this point.  Those are the people Dolson is trying to impress.

OT, but since it’s an IU board, anyone else take Glenn Gass’ Beatles class?

Tell UT that when they made a similar hire.  It will get bad.  Douchebags don’t run this place.

I’m good with Beard…..look  the game has lost its innocence..it’s reality….no longer pure basketball…so why handicap ourselves? Hey, Jesus forgives and so does IU!

He doesn’t have a blank check for Beard. I know of a couple donors who aren’t chipping in plus less NIL
