Well doesn't that save the University $8M?

 

I would be surprised.  I bet any forced retirement or whatever was agreed to still pays him out his contract.  I’d love to be wrong, but it would be too good to be true and Woody is all about the $.

No one is walking away from $8 million like that. He would have to have been given the choice to finish out or retire immediately.

Yeah I know he will get at least a good portion of the money.  But if he came in today and said, F off, I quit, he likely cost himself a few bucks.

Given his ego, he'll put himself in the same category as Bob Knight. A former great IU coach that was wronged by the administration and not set foot in Bloomington for decades. 

He can put himself into that category all he wants. However, Knight was revered, Woodson is loathed. Sadly Woodson is too arrogant to get that.....

Today I have had three meetings and contributed a total of 4 firm head nods, 1 audible concurrence, and died a little more inside by at least two people referring to a PowerPoint as a “Slide Deck.”

Yeah not sure we want him behind a microphone for the rest of the season

Yeah we need him off the mic immediately.  I actually said to one of my clients today about a difficult situation that we just need to get over the hump.  Now I know what the hump is in this situation and know how to get over it, but I was cursing myself in my head when it came out of my mouth

Will not be BS.  I think we go after Beard, tbh.  There is an appeal with some boosters and they are being vocal. 

I say with 1,000,000% conviction, "**** the ******* boosters!!"  You ****** us over enough the last time and now you get no say.  Just shut up and fork over the cash.

Cody Zeller traded although he’s been out for personal reasons this year.

If Brad is 100% the guy, would they wait til season is over to announce that hiring, or would they not have to?

If he actually uttered the words "I quit", that definitely wasn't smart on his part. Not saying he won't get the full amount remaining but he would have less leverage.

I once left a job and told one of the managing directors I was leaving for a new job in a few weeks. Two days later, they let everyone in my division go and paid everyone severances. Guess who didn't get a severance? I know the situation is totally apples to oranges but from a legal perspective, how you leave matters.

I was told a few old players want Beard, but most big-time boosters want Stevens.

Student callers on Hysterics livespace says they've talked to a team manager, who said:

"Woody was told he was going to be forced to retire yesterday. Today Woody walked in and said "I'm done - I quit."

"Kenya Hunter will take over the team."

So I assume "quit" meant "I quit (however I am still entitled to the financial terms of my contract)"

If this sh*t goes down today, I'll prolly break out some IU gear to wear tomorrow and feel good about it for a change!...
