Isiah and Woody are pretty close and It seemed that Woody got involved after masshole. Hoping Dolson still confident but that timing makes me wonder 

I know that Scott and Isiah flew to Boston the Tuesday or Wednesday before the deal was said to be agreed upon. They flew there to present our offer.

Ned Pfau and his family put up the money for the new golf course. The agreement was IU will pay Stevens 3.5 million and Pfau will pay 3.5 million a year for 7 years.

I’m clueless on this but is this actually allowed? Where a private donor/booster pays half the coach’s salary?

It would probably be a $3.5 million donation to the athletic department, earmarked for HC salary.

He is clueless. He’s too busy dancing with the animated cartoons. Cringe. 

And finding another 5 phone books to sit on to look taller than Wally.

This. No rule against donating money but who knows with the NCAA. I'm sure they'd find a way to **** us.

I think it is. Many schools have "endowed" coaching roles, where some donor gets their name before the title of head coach on the school website.

Right. They'd still have it on the books as $7M from IU but the donor would cover half that. How I'd assume it would go.

Loving this info drop from Chris. If nothing else, it is interesting to read.

Yep, Harbaugh is introduced as “(Family Name) Michigan Head Football Coach Jim Harbaugh”

 

Goofiest thing ever, but get that money, I guess. 

[IUguy77 202]

Here’s another thing to think about. If Chris007 got info when things were good then it would seem he would also have gotten info that things had turned bad or deal was off. But instead he says things have just went quiet. That sounds like people wanting to kill the talk.

Didn't know that. I don't think I'd want my name being used in that title. But different strokes for different folks.

Upon inspecting their website, they also have separate endowments for the offensive and defensive coordinators. That's Michigan for you, I guess. lol

Not to get anyone's hopes up and I still don't think Brad comes but everything that has happened would point to Brad/Scott wanting this to be incredibly airtight as Chris mentioned. The players entering the portal stands out to me.

Scott clearly hasn't even told them about what's going on. Maybe TJD. But even with him it was probably a "just wait, Trayce...." which would explain why our best player hasn't entered the transfer portal yet. His entire team is entering and he hasn't. Why not?

Trayce is entering a portal with a different route...to the NBA...no need to get re-recruited by college guys! More power to him - great kid!

They do that with professorships and departments chairs all the time. it’s called an endowed line. But of course in those cases the money is never that silly.

In my experience, it seems like there’s 2 types of donors: those you never have and never will know of, and those that would give $50million to have their name on every toilet seat in a stadium.

From February 15 through March 15 Dolson found people to talk to Brad about IU basketball, Bloomington and coming home. He had a plan all along.

If this is the case I feel confident this can still happen. Just no way I see them waiting until June.

It better be Brad, Chris. Can’t wait until this leaks again!

Wow. Let's hope the plan pulls through. We need this hire to happen. 

 

 

Also here is a link to the endowments people were talking about:

That's my sticking point. If he wasn't willing to quit last week, what is going to change in the next two months until the Celtics are out of the playoffs. There's simply no way we keep the position open that long.
