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

I’ve had several PM’s so wanted to drop a quick line to the broader board. Love this group and fully intend to continue to contribute to the community, Im not going anywhere. (Sorry to a few of you) B

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

That he didn’t think Dusty would sign an extension so early or at all. 

Maybe the extra 2.5 million was Dusty's parting gift to UM as a way to say hey sorry for leaving after a year but homes a callin. Obviously knows Indiana will pay and it maybe he takes a little of the top of his contract with IU? Longer years as a way to make it even ? IDK just spitballin bored on a Monday. 

Generally have 0 idea for feeling about who they next coach will be, would NOT be shocked by ANYONE at this point which is both scary and exciting at the same time lol

I don’t understand why Scott Drew would leave Baylor for Indiana. Baylor is in a better conference, better facilities, and he’s a legend there. NIL isn’t an issue either at Baylor. 

Well stated - that's the counter. So while admittedly these aren't indisputable reasons why he would leave Baylor for IU, these are the reasons:

  1. Indiana is home/familiar family turf.
  2. NIL is not an issue at Baylor, but IU has much better NIL.
  3. He would get a significant salary increase.
  4. His pastor interests in Waco have been established and are sustaining, so he may be looking to have an impact in an unexplored community.
  5. This year is not going especially well and the fanbase interest may be waning some.
  6. Not matter how well he does, Baylor will always be a state where football is king.
  7. After a long tenure at Baylor, he may be looking to rejuvenate and take on a new challenge.

Why do you think their facilities are better?  Gym is newer but only seats 7,000 and the pics of the weight room look ok but IUs was better.  I did not find a practice gym like Cook Hall but they probably have one.  

Facilities - Baylor

I doubt any highly accomplished coach leaves his current position solely for money.  Maybe NIL, but mostly it would be because they're not happy where they are or because of extenuating circumstances (Toy Williams leaving KU for his alma mater or coach who's been busted down to a lesser program because his transgressions).

As for Dusty May, it really looks like that ship has sailed.

But who "knows"?   ; - )

 

OT: Is there a chance we could get more emojis? TOS appears to be running the same board software, but they have a lot.

Busy week coming up, had to give up my seats today in lieu of getting some work done. Anyone at the game, can you tell me the look ok the face of the clown who wears the “Woody” hat and sits in row 2 behind the bench? He guaranteed a win today, clown. 

I thought I was the only one who noticed this guy. How much was he paid to wear this hat?

Baylor is in a better conference

Baylor is not in the SEC or B1G so a coach on the outside of those 2 conferences might want to jump to the 2 cash cows.   Doesn’t matter if the Big 12 basketball wise is better then the B1G it’s definitely not better financially

An under appreciated really funny element of this is that Drew’s wife supposedly wanted no part of Lexington because she thought the environment was too decadent but she may possibly be down with…..Bloomington.

Haven’t been back in a minute, but that’s not 1 of the selling points I would have anticipated.

Man I'm really starting to think homeboy just reads message boards and post off the vibes he gets to pass them off as insider info to generate interactions. 

Beard and Stevens are the top 2 guys to talk about in terms of that. If he would have said California or Iowa (Mick or McDermott) wouldn't get near the attention. 

I'd be happy to be wrong.

Maybe not that day.  It’s the first round so teams at the bottom of the conference will be playing each other on espn+.    Bellarmine and Western Georgia more than likely.  @johnsoniu

@Ryno6284

might be the only ones sick enough to be watching with me 

Never miss a chance to bet against the Fightin' Knights. Unless they're playing West Georgia lol
