Looks good on paper...

Agreed regulation of NIL is a joke - value of NIL is so subjective- easy to say Rice saying two words in a local internet ad for honda is 100k.

I’m taking a Chris Collins or even a Brad Brownell before I’m taking a McCollum. 

I wouldn’t expect it to get this far…but if it did, I agree.

Nick Saloman, J Mascis, Elmore James, Bob Mould, Frank Zappa, Jonny Greenwood,  Robert Quine, Freddie King, Roger McGuinn, “Keiff” Richards, Derek Trucks, Tom Verlaine, Thurston Moore, Jeff Beck, Eddie Cochran, and maybe most of all? Magic Sam.

Adding to the list: the greatest guitarist I’ve had the privilege to see live (and I’ve seen a ton)- Phil Keaggy.

Will Scott need to take the mic away from the King today to make sure he doesn’t say something he shouldn’t 

I'm really hoping someone gets in Woodsons ear and convinces him to not go out like a jerk after coaching his last game in the Hall.I'm sure he feels like he's been crapped on,even though most would agree he's not earned the right to any more time coaching the team.We can hopefully try to forget these last 4 years of lackluster coaching and just try to remember him for the incredible player he was at IU.

Agreed hopefully some of his buddies talked him into a speech about gratitude.

Last year’s Senior Day speech seemed like it was the beginning of the end for Woodson. He could’ve gone about it a couple of different ways and chose the worst way. There was no turning back after that. Pretty sure, that was the most uncomfortable Senior Day we’ve had.

Not only did it make me turn on the coach even more, it caused me to dislike some of the players I'm supposed to adore. 

Senior Day 2024 is when all my feelings toward Woodson and the team felt validated. There was so turning back after that.

I go back to the early 80’s and don’t ever remember one like that.

It’s not about Bob Knight connections, it’s about the Bob Knight mentality/mindset. Bob Knight was many things, but he wasn’t soft, he wasn’t a pushover, and his teams weren’t either. That’s what a “uniquely Indiana” culture is. 

A full-on Knight mentality wouldn’t work today. But all you have to do is watch the Pitino video from earlier this year and St. John’s results to see that it still works today. Teams take on the personality of their coach. 

Then why is only Beard an option?

I have a hard time seeing Indiana hiring a guy who will have an active show cause when hired. 

It expires this June, stems from an incident in 2017 and amounts to a whopping no off-campus recruiting related activities during this April . Bruce Pearl had a 3 yr show cause for near identical violations. I see no issues if SD's due diligence comes back clean.

That’s as big of a roll of the dice as McCollum IMO, perhaps even more so as Collins hasn’t proved, at any level, that he can win big.

Hes been to the round of 32 three times at a school that quite literally has never made the NCAA tournament before he got there. I hate the “imagine what he’d do with IU’s resources” take as much as anyone, but he’s the one guy I think it actually applies to.

Sadly, Woodson made the event all about him when it should’ve been for the seniors.

Then given his background and possible issues, why wouldn’t we hire someone else?
