I heard that from so many posters about Archie Miller too.  I know people on here don't like to learn any lessons, but I wish they would.

Cool, lol

I mean there’s a big difference between IUBB and IUFB and the levels of support among fans/alums. And isn’t Allen’s buyout like 3x as much as Archie’s? 

There's also a big difference between football revenue potential and basketball revenue potential.  Easy business investment decision

Where does Ohio State land on the football scoreboard between 50 and a 100?

If Dexter Williams is our future QB, we’re screwed. 

Might as well play him instead of this Connor. Indiana isn’t winning another game. We’re about to lose our talent to the portal.

At least the AD got one email telling him how sad we are!

What would be the level of support of IUFB if it didn’t suck?

The investment to meet that football revenue potential requires something like 10 Tom Allen buyouts and I’m probably lowballing. I don’t trust the admin to do that.

#DCCI is in the record books.

FWIW, I had Rutgers score in this week's prediction league.

Allen or whoever is the coach, needs to be prioritizing OL on the transfer portal. IU can't survive recruiting at a MAC level for that unit

To put the resources into a winning program or at least not a shitty one?

Ehhhh...nah.  But I'm sure they believe they can.

Don't sweat the buyout.

IU football for 2022 season can hang their hat on a kickoff return for a TD not done since 2012 another year of football coach contract security.

My wife didn’t go to IU but she has learned a lot through the years. I told her we were up 14-0 at the end of the first and her reply was “that’s just going to make you feel even worse at the end of the game”…LOL

Hope she is wrong.

Apologies for bumping my own post but…….once again, the wife is ALWAYS right!

If we lose out I don’t have a lot of faith in our ability to attract quality players from the portal.

Why would I sweat the buyout? That's not my money. We've seen other historically bad football programs find some success. It shouldn't be too much to ask to go 3-6 in Big 1.o play each season.

[Joe_hoopsier 977]

Ok, without reading the thread.

if anyone recommended cleaning out the entire staff. I’m ok with that. Or move us to D2 in football.

LEO. 

Goes only so far!

[TTT 1,044]

I was at games with North Carolina State and Rivers freshman year and Wisconsin during Cameron era and in both games IU jumped to big first quarter leads resulting in 2 IU losses.

Kansas hasn't been shy to throw money around and retry. And they are having success with the most unknown and likely cheapest of the recent bunch (Weis, Myles)
