Is it confirmed that there is a 3:00 press release or conference scheduled for today?

Indiana Basketball will get over the hump and hang banner 6 in the next 5 years, and oh it will be so glorious.

I doubt there is a presser. There will just be a news release. Staff meeting is happening now.

Whose hump was so big he couldn't get over it

When we see the white smoke coming from the AD office, we will know there is a new Sheriff in town and the old one has been put out to pasture

Is that Jerry fellow a troll or what?   Comes in last night, drops a bomb and that he'll type it up when he gets home.  It's now approaching noon the next day and nothing, nada, zippo.  WTF. You're killing me Smalls.    :)  

he lives far, far away... he will be home shortly.

I heard Woodson had meetings yesterday about retiring at the end of the year and wasn't happy about it. It was forced. He's doing it now for "Medial" reasons but it's because he's pouting lol 

We all knew Woodson was going to have to be fired or forcibly "retired." 

Dude has no self awareness. I'm sure this was him at the meeting with Dolson:

Not sure letting him go immediately is a good thing. Interim guy could have a little success and IU will hire him.

No. His assistants are worse than he is

Trilly saying "forced retirement"

If it is a forced retirement can he sue IU for age discrimination

I wonder why Dolson wanted this done now...

You can’t officially offer a job to someone UNTIL there’s an opening. <wink>

Anyone have the skills to create an animated IU logo moving over a hump?

Sure - and Indiana University will countersue for incompetence.

 This truly is shaping up to be an absolutely fantastic day.  I can't remember when the board as a whole has been this upbeat.  There's no way we'll ever know the full details of how Dolson and President Whitten got this done but they did.  Going upstream against the president of the BOT who also has a number of high $$ donors in his pocket could just as easily been career enders especially for Scott.  I'm truly optimistic for what our basketball future holds.  GO HOOSIERS!

Does anyone else think that we've seen this movie before?

This is a two-parter... sounds like part one is done... but the real excitement is in the sequel...

Guarded optimism.

lol no.

It’s the most common HR practice there is: “retire or you get fired. Your choice.”
