I just wonder if that is athletic-related. Most likely not but @Treesh and I might need to drive wherever to check it out. You have heard they might be getting cold feet about parting ways?

But I have no optimism that’s true without a change. We could be pretty darn good next year if natural improvement occurs, TJD returns, Parker turns out okay and maybe a transfer. Throw in Rob coming back for the hell of it LOL Demo 1

Yes, I got a text about that during halftime of the MSU game. If you haven't seen the Indy Star article about how much money we've lost then check it out. We lost 6 million just from March of 20 to June 30 of 20. Wait till the rest comes out from July 1 2020 till July 2010. It's going to be big losses. Jeff_Boy_Ardee, mamasa and IUc2016 2 1

Even Fred Glass & Buckner met at Uptown each week when picking the next coach. lillurk and thebigweave 2

Hey, me either but it's basketball, we live in a crazy world. Anything is possible! We might have better chances at winning a cake at a our local church cake walk - but there's a chance!

hper50 Posted March 5, 2021 Posted March 5, 2021 Kent Sterling posted a video to the other day and said he was walking through Cook Hall with JD Campbell. Archie was walking the other way and JD said hey Archie, there’s someone I want you to meet. And CAM completed ignored him and kept walking. That really rubbed me the wrong way

Bobman1 Posted March 5, 2021 Posted March 5, 2021 I'll bite. We're talking a $10.35 million buy-out for Archie, which is a lot of money but could be less if he gets a job the next couple years. It could be less if Archie resigns and leaves some money on the table. Nate Oats just accepted a new deal. His new deal includes a huge buy-out for next season and the following year. His buy-out next season is $12.5 million dollars. If he were bought out after March 14th of this month, it would be $7 million. However I'm unsure when the new deal kicks in so it could actually be way more than $7million. Bottom line --- If Nate Oats is our next coach, we're going to need around $20million dollars plus. Archie's contract, the buy-out for Nate and the new contract for Nate. That goes for this off-season and next off-season in my very basic math sense. From what I’ve read, Oats seems like a really smart and creative basketball mind. I think that photo of his practices at Alabama with the tape on the court has been shared here, but that further illustrates the point that he keeps up with the times and his teams have success to show for it. I don’t think he’s a lock to be some HOF coach, but I think he’s worth the buyout and would bring pretty immediate success to IU like he’s done at Alabama.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners lillurk and Trish 2

WayneFleekHoosier Posted March 5, 2021 Posted March 5, 2021 It's going to be hard for Indiana to give maybe it's worst statistical coach a fifth year. Covid Pass? I presume this is the only deliberation point. He's lost the fans, the media, and the players. I imagine he's lost the administration too. I've said this before, I think a stellar recruiting class would have immensely helped his case, but there again, he fails. Hoosierfan2017, lillurk and Woodsonshump 3
