Wait till the we want Dusty chants start.

We had 600 pages devoted to Bruce Pearl last year who was also never going to coach at IU.

IU can absolutely become a good program again and a decent one at that quick. But it's not going to happen in a 1-2 year span. You're not ever going to erase a 30 year down period overnight. And with each lost season and each passing coach the desperation grows bigger and bigger every single year.

You're right! They've been bad almost as long as the football program, and... Oh, wait.

So if you look at highest paid college coaches in 24, unless they have the facts wrong, mike Woodson is #13 highest paid college coach on that list. I don't know what it shows after bonuses etc.

We know it shows that Woodson is WAAYYY overpaid. 13th highest paid, IU is getting robbed blind.

Yep. So if IU was to pay a coach 10 million a year, unless bill self got a huge raise in between march 24 and now, that would make the IU coach the highest paid in college basketball. 

Other coaches may get less but that seems like top ten job money

That $1M raise he got in August 2023 drives me crazy.  He had not outperformed in any way that deserved a raise, and after getting the raise he completely fell apart.

IU is only paying one guy in the country $10mil/yr and it was already offered and rejected last go around. Dusty May would probably command somewhere around $5mil/yr. Up and comers like Calhoun, McCollum would probably be in the $3-4 mil/yr range.

That is absurd. Also third highest in the big ten. One heck of a grift I tell you.

To get dusty may to leave Michigan it is going to take more than 5 million. 

Up and comers like Calhoun and mccollum may get paid less but that is still close to a top 15 salary. 

If they are going for the white whales probably in the 7-10 million range. IU may not have top ten results but that is definitely nearing top ten pay. I would have to guess the NIL fund is also top
