I can feel Buckner’s deep love for IU radiating through my screen as I read this post. 

Obviously, nothing personal agenda wise ever happens with him

Well you aren't a serious poster so you're basically a troll

The dedication to keeping the Steven's dream alive is admirable. But you aren't actually serious.

What????

 

Where do I find this info. I can’t believe Shaka (I know Matquette fairly well) makes $5 and he’s gotta be the highest paid. 
 

Either way.. sub in whatever number you want to make the scenario work

Buzz is the highest paid at about $5 million/per. Shaka, McDermott, and Devries all at just over $3 and each of their schools would go higher to keep them.

I was told Buckner had given Dolson the okay to make a move if it was for a big fish?

It doesn’t get much bigger than Pearle. He has the #1 team in the country at a football school

It is ironic that you talk about other people being dedicated to a cause.

I thought this place would be a morgue in January because of how great this team is... what happened? Were you mistaken? 

I mean, you were still on the Woody train after sitting through the Bahamas and back to back blow outs to Neb and Iowa, lol

Who is unserious again?

Chris Mack, Will Wade, Brad Stevens, the Prophet Muhammad or John The Baptist... I don't care at this point.

POTFB and retire Mike Woodson.

I've never pretended to be a self-important person. That's the difference.

It was a sham. Dolson had Pearl ready to go and Buckner said no on Pearl. 

Unreal.

This place is imploding and we haven't even gotten beat by Purdue yet today.

I just threw buzz in for usps. Lol…

 

It’d be a big raise and a bigger commitment to nil (plus revenue sharing…a school like marquette is dead in the water there) for McDermontt and shaka. I’m agnostic on that crew. Find the one that wants to jump. 
 

All my eggs would be in option 1 and 2. And probably 80/20 tilted towards option 2.

The one thing that worries me about McDermott was that he did get to a P5 team before and it went very poorly....four straight losing seasons at Iowa State, 18-46 in the Big 12.  I will say prior to IU hiring Kelvin Sampson, McDermott was a guy I thought IU should consider based on him putting Northern Iowa on the map.

Not saying I wouldn't want him, but there is that one hiccup in his resume.

Big East is part of the Power 5 in Basketball and he has done a heck of a job at Creighton.  His work at Creighton overshadows his failures at Iowa st.  Just my opinion

Not sure how you found Shakas info I’m pretty sure Marquette can keep their stuff private.  Marquette spends loads of money on their basketball program though.   No one knows the real number however they are usually projected as top 5 by people in the business

Interweb says so, but as you said, for a private school it isn't publicly confirmed by the university.

A lot bickering back and forth!  Direct at Woodson tonight after we get another beat down by Turdue!   Can’t we all get along?

Actually I just found a better source on Shaka - Marquette's tax filings. So he was about at $3 million  last year. I'd imagine after the year he had last year he's at about $3.5 million:

Shaka’s salary

While Marquette is a private school and thus its inner financial workings not open to the public, it does have to release its 990 tax filings yearly, one of the only times we get to poke around behind the scenes. For our purposes, it also gives us an insight into what kind of financial figures Marquette’s basketball coaches are making, or made the previous season.

One of the questions I get every season is, how much does Marquette’s coach make, and how does that compare to what other coaches around D1 and the Big East make?

The answer to the first question is now, a base pay of $2,791,853 with bonuses of $154,000, for a total of just under $3million at $2,945,853. That’s up over 37% compared to 2022.

[IUFAN1976 4,048]

I do have one question for everyone:

Is he FIRED yet?

[Uspshoosier 47,375]

If Wade is hired the Hoosier in Uspshoosier will definitely come off on this forum.  It would be very hard for me to continue be invested in the program if he was ever hired

Didn't he agree to take the O$U job when they and Matta "parted ways"? Then he backed out, decided to stay at Creighton -- and Holtmann got the call. 

Wonder what happened there ...
