It’s getting to be a long time since we were serious contenders — it’s really only been one time in the last 20 years, with most seasons being completely uncompetitive.  I mean we have not been close to a good program for decades, often due to negligence, which makes it even more frustrating.  All these bad years slowly chip away at interest in the team.  If it doesn’t happen now with our top-5 NIL… will it ever happen?

And football is now an alternative.  Future years probably won’t be as special as last season, but we now have a seriously competent and competitive program that is 1,000x more fun to follow than our brutal bball program.  Scott has a shot to get bball back on track, but if he doesn’t, I think football also takes away interest from bball and bball may not recover.

BINGO. Indiana HAS to get this hire right. This is probably the most attractive this job has been since maybe 2006 when Davis stepped down at the end of the season. I teach and I am stunned that a lot of the students (middle school age) are IU fans. Think about the kids IU will be recruiting in the '26, '27, and '28 classes. They were in preschool when the WatShot happened. The only "good" memory they might have is Yogi leading IU to the B1G title/Sweet 16 and Trayce's senior year. 

Why I think they have to hire a proven guy. Not an Archie Miller like hire.

This should go without saying obviously, but there will be no press conference tomorrow. I’ll be able to take the lid off a bit later in the week. But will say this, anybody providing details right no

So I couldn’t get much from him unfortunately. But, to me that’s a good thing. There’s been pretty much zero chatter, nor leaks for a month about coaches. He said it doesn’t matter that the season is

If it’s not BS, it likely never was.  Not sure I buy that he’d run away from something he really wants to do, with 10’s of millions on the line, because people were leaking info.  Yeah, it sucks & would be aggravating, but what does it affect or change once the announcement is made?  Someone will have to help convince me why that would torpedo his future…

Tony Bennett was in Bloomington for a donor event a couple weeks ago.  

Why would he have been in Bloomington for a donor event?

So true

To be fair, if I’m donating 7 or 8 figures to this school and program I’m talking whoever and about whatever the F I want and no one is telling me otherwise lest I turn off the money spigot.
