Not sure if anyone else on there agrees but the Hoosier Hysterics, Rabby, and Peegs act like it’s a done deal and they talk about him non stop. They just say IU and his reps have talked and there is “chatter”.

Wouldn't like the hire and it would go against  what Dolson is looking for in an offense

And I highly doubt Moser was on his radar from the start. One win shouldn’t move a guy up. I don’t think it’s him. Peegs guys really must not know much.

Am I jaded, or is it reality? Maryland and Kansas were out bidding each other a couple years ago over De Sousa (I think that's his name) who was a borderline starter, a recruit ranked in like the 80's or something. Not a 5*. 

De Sousa was a top 40 recruit, not in the 80s. So he was almost a 5*. Similar ranking to TJD and Kaufman. Is it him you're thinking of or someone else?

To your point, yes, cheating happens even for players who aren't 5*. It is inevitable considering how much money is involved in college sports. Coaches are willing to cheat to keep their multimillion dollar salaries.

I'll give you an example. We've all heard how it's really difficult for IU to get grad transfers in, right? I don't know how accurate that is, but let's assume its accurate for discussions sake. 

Stay with me here. I wasn't the best student in high school. Mostly just lack of focus and caring. So when I was being recruited for basketball, some schools had to pass because of my GPA. 

The school I ended up going to had me hold off on applying to school until the coach mailed me an application. The application he sent me was stamped at the top with a special "Basketball Office" stamp so the admissions people would know i was a scholarship recruit that our coach wanted to be admitted. Not every player got that application. 

Obviously I didn't play at IU's level, but I'd consider that the Division 2 version of the gray area. 

So let's assume the IU grad transfer difficulty rumor is true. No IU basketball coach should ever have to worry about that if he wants a player. 

Thanks and that example is not bad

Let me ask you this if your best friend was selling drugs but wasn't getting caught would you then sell drugs as well.

This comparison makes absolutely no sense, lol.  

Here’s a better comparison: Every other kid in the class got the answers to the test beforehand. You’re graded on a curve in this class. The teacher knows everyone else is cheating and let’s them get away with it. Do you take a look at the answer sheet too? I would.

Is this supposed to be some kind of excuse for IU? Very unlikely UVA is doing anything that IU isn’t. 

Not really, more like a statement of college athletics when the powers that be clearly couldn't care less.  I'd prefer the NCAA care and college athletics, but they don't and it's not.

People see money to be made and the ones responsible for enforcing rules do nothing, bad combination.

Well maybe the NCAA didn't do anything to KU or Arizona but the implications are hurting both teams recruiting.  Neither of those programs talent level is not even close to what it was just 3 years ago.

No

No

Then you fail comparatively. See how that goes?

Look in the Moser thread y’all.

Reliable reports that Moser is staying at Loyola.

Rather fail with integrity than pass by cheating.  Also why not just do your job and study for the test instead of taking the easy way out.

How was that reliable source

We thought CAMs offense looked bad this Loyola offense is atrocious currently and makes CAMs offense look good.

Good example!

I was a marketing major in college and we all had to take two mathematics courses (algebra and calculus) taught by a professor in the mathematics department. 

The professor knew we weren't mathematics majors and knew the class was really hard. Every single time we had a test the professor would literally leave the room for 15-20 minutes and go sit in his office. 

During that time we all worked together, shared our answers, etc. Was it cheating? Yes. Did the professor at minimum not care and at maximum even support it? Absolutely. 

Not a single person ever got in trouble. 

Should I have sat there and not participated with the rest of my classmates and failed the class, while they all passed?

In that scenario, like basketball, it’s all relative. Good is good, but compared to great, you end up at the bottom

I'm not arguing moral fortitude with you man I'm just saying this is the reality whether you agree with it, like it or vice versa it doesn't matter because it's the cold hard truth. I respect your stance but that stance in college athletics gets you mediocre results or worse more often than not. I'm done derailing things

I would think after Ohio St threatened murder on their start player after they lost, they would have landed in the number one spot...just sayin.....

I'm really puzzled that the UVA fanbase made Goodman's list. I thought a big part of that job's attraction to Bennett was its lack of a "crazy fanbase/fishbowl" environment?

He will get asked about it after the game especially if they lose. It’s possible all his seniors are coming back.

I never want IU to win at any cost and rather lose every game than cheat.  It is a sad day for me to see any IU fan that would be alright with cheating if it means a championship/

Do you speed?  There is a bunch of space between going 5 to 10 over the speed limit and doing 120 on the freeway drunk and high.  One of those things the cops don't even blink.  The other lands you in jail.  I want to do 5 to 10 over.

Are we seriously having this conversation? No way I look at the answers. Curve be damned.
