My guess is a recruit like anyone else has a remote control and can switch between games. Not sure why you are so fixated on espn being there end all for college basketball viewing. Nova comes to mind as a team that plays almost all of their games on FS1. I have to watch them on cbssports network. My guess would be they have been on espn less then 5 times this year. I think they will survive Does this count as ESPN or no? woodenshoemanHoosierfan, Chris007, Uspshoosier and 2 others 5

You see, you're actually asking the wrong question. The question is, if this ends up on ESPN, does being on ESPN even matter anymore? The answer is no, b/c at that point we will have had exactly ZERO GAMES BROADCAST LIVE ON TIK TOK!! Even if we had games on tik tok it wouldn't matter b/c the real issue is that Archie's polos are always 2 sizes too big. Even the right sized polo won't dig is out of the hole he's put us in b/c it comes down to his waffles needing to be purple. And we all know recruits don't want anything to do with purple waffles. So to answer your question, the answer is clearly false. Vauxhall and IU, ALASKA HOOSIER, johnsoniu and 5 others 5 3

Both of those outcomes are completely achievable, as is an outcome that produces sadness. This may not be for the coaching candidate thread.....but what do you think the chances are that we end up playing a back to back with MSU when they come to Bloomington? We could play an early Saturday tipoff and then a sunday night tipoff. We'd both have at least 2 days off on both sides of those games. Probably zero chance, right? d mess 50 1

I remember it being discussed on the forums at the time, but if that had gotten out wouldn't it have been a national story? Not saying it didn't, but would have assumed that sports shows would have had a reaction to that story and I can't recall that ever getting traction beyond the forums. Yes, it happened; The FoxSports.com article included a copy of a text message that was sent from the Baylor assistant Mark Morefield to Huss, saying that Baylor had the power to deport Perea if he did not go to Baylor. “I guarantee you if he does [commit to another school] he will be in Colombia for the spring and summer and next year. Don’t forget it,” the text message said. kreigh8 1

Pacers game is at 8, so there will honestly be some TV battling in some houses.

Have not seen a consistent flow of bad stuff from his program. Not my top guy but a definite upgrade

Especially with Recruits because they don't change channels, they only watch what ESPN spoon feeds them.... Only real basketball people would watch if it was on other channels but since it is on ESPN all recruits nationwide will have all eyes on us and it could help or hurt our perception. woodenshoemanHoosierfan and jk34 2

ziggyiu Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 I grapple with how to put about the more out-going members of the IU fan base in context, particularly in terms of how they impact a coach, the team, recruits, AD and other program decision-makers and influences. For the most part, blaming the fans for outwardly calling for a coach to be fired is really just a symptom of the cause. If win were winning these gestures wouldn't be made. Also, how else do people express the desire for improvement when they are otherwise powerless? On the other hand IU has fans that display little perspective on the opposite side. They see MSU have a bad season or UW have a bad game and mock cry for Archie to be fired. Poking at other members of the fan base and not using context doesn't help the whole of us.

LIHoosier Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 29 minutes ago, Stuhoo said: It’ll be a small minority of our fans, but those that are sabotaging recruiting are just that. Using that logic, if we hyper-focused on the social media base of every school, the likes of Incarnate Word would be raking in all the 5 stars. Not saying that there aren't s***-heads that claim to be IU fans, but it seems that people want to make more of themselves when re-tweeting or liking an Instagram post also means 0.0000000001% in where a high school kid decides to play college ball.
