Somewhere today I thought I read here that the McNeely family found the IU fan base toxic… and didn’t want Liam in that environment. Either that was fake news or maybe they have a point. 
 

 

 

Whether they actually said it or not is moot in the big picture. It is however an easy scapegoat when the most concerning thing was how bad the team and the trajectory of the program looks and you'd rather not say it out loud.

There's a level of toxicity within every large fan base. But when it appears to be building stronger and stronger, there's a reason for that. Every symptom has a cause.

The board is moving so fast that I can't keep up. One point to what Jerry said... Woodson being a bridge... I assume that means the athletic department had a plan in place post Woodson. Was it shared what the initial plan was?

Over 6 million next year in NIL

Crazy to think what a competent coach at IU (Bruce Pearl) could do if they had that cash to spend… never will understand why boosters are willing to spend so much supporting a guy who is clearly not the answer instead of ponying that money up to go get a high level coach

If you are a top recruit, you have to have thick skin. If you think our fan base is rough, you won’t make it at any other top school. Kansas won 18 straight regular season B12 titles and when they finally didn’t last year, people were wondering if Bill Self still had his “fastball”. Shoot Kentucky was in the top ten earlier in the season, with a top 5 recruiting class and people were wanting Calapari’s head. Call our fan base what you want (not you personally) but I call our fan base the most passionate in the country and foaming at the mouth for a winning team. If you don’t want to help with that and allow that to drive you, then good luck somewhere else. Grass won’t be as green there as you think.

*not a shot at you, more less to the McNeeley’s or players that don’t want to come because of “toxic” fan base.

When your fans are booing your own players on a televised game, that's pretty much the definition of toxic.

You don’t watch a lot of sports, do you?

And if you think a Kansas, Duke, UNC, (insert any school you want to be here), wouldn’t do the same if they were on the run we were, then I would be extremely shocked. Does that make it right or wrong? No. But like one poster once said, “don’t put a shít sandwich on my plate and be mad when I complain you’re feeding me shít sandwich”

 

Now this is just my opinion, so I’m not trying to say it’s right or wrong or telling you what to think, just staying my thoughts.

I sure hope they’re sharing a bunch of this NIL money with the women’s team..

It's just proves money is not the issue. The issue is who they choose to spend it on. Somebody somehow convinced them Woodson can turn it around or they just like the access to the head coach. No other explanations I can think of.

Just listened to Brian Evans rant on JMV about the state of the program under Woodson.  He makes some very good points.

Personally, I blame the fans of delicious deli sandwiches for making corned beef popular only in the middle of March.  Must be the fair weather we get in March.

The face of Indiana Athletics and some guy that played here 40 years ago.

He looks thrilled the women's coach is sitting next to him.

Seems like it’s Dusty to Louisville. Hope he does well.

That’s my understanding if not more when fans start donating again.

Woodson's teams won't see a dime from me this year. Not that my donations have been significant, but I'm not supporting his clown show.

I’ll forgive you for all your transgressions if you buy me a round at Glendarin this summer.

"We're" not... just steuben. Dude is a troll and should be ignored. Literally.

Seen a lot of conflicting reports, saw that Musselman was looking for greener pastures, aka Louisville

Lots of wild reports for Louisville.
