Just out of curiosity, I googled the name of the current owner of Cook Group. He's Carl Cook, son of the late Bill Cook. And Carl Cook is a Purdue grad (engineering) and earned his MBA from Iowa. If he wanted to get his MBA from IU, he could've done it easily but somehow chose Iowa. So a Purdue grad is one of IU's biggest donors. Thought it was interesting. 

Super nice guy but Kathy knows more about sports than Carl does. He loved Woodson last season. Had a buddy that went to a game with him last season. We were down 16 and he turned to my friend and said this is fun isn't it? My buddy just put his head down.

Idk I kinda envy people with that level of gleeful ignorance.

Unless I'm missing something and that guy is making decisions? I know the company is involved but is Carl?

This statement better be a work of art with how much fuss has gone into the details... lol

Well, not making any kind of solid announcement (or even subtley sending word through one of their preferred media outlets) is an ...uh...interesting decision on the part of Dolson.

I’m guessing it’s not up to Dolson how to announce it.  Dolson basically didn’t have anything to do with Woodson and still doesn’t.   It’s all Woodsons body guards.   
 

Once this experiment is over, Dolson will (should) be able to act in his capacity as AD.

He was a great teacher and one of my favorite classes at IU. I don't think he hated sports, I think he hated that Knight was basically able to do whatever he liked without repercussions. He also wrote a book how 99% of athletic departments lost money for schools. 

If the professor saw Woody the King of IU, he could've changed his opinion. RMK was a monster, but at least he won 3 championships and gave so much joy and happiness to the fanbase. So I'd say in the grand scheme of things, the cost and benefit kind of balanced. But the case of Woody the King is all costs ($hit load of costs) and almost no benefit. ROI is so poor in this case.

I don't think he is making any decisions. I think Pete is making the majority of the decisions. But I haven't been around there for a few years. My FIL retired from there and was very high up with these people.

You can’t say the b word. Now I have to kick you out of the store.

I spent a summer working at a music store in Bloomington. We sold pipes and stuff (this was before vaping). People would come in and say something like, "I'll take that bong." I'd respond with, "This water pipe? No problem, that'll be $xxx." Some were too stupid to get it and would argue that it's a bong so I'd have to make them leave.

Thank God.

I'm framing the press release and hanging it in my office!

It was probably drafted by quinn. Mike saves us from the depths, but he has decided to move own. We owe him a debt of gratitude blah blah blah.

.....something tells me a formal statement telling us that Woodson wants to stay for a very long 8 more games, including just 1 in the BTT.

The place across from the Sample Gates off Kirkwood, up the stairs? Lol. Witnessed that exact interaction there many moons ago.

Advanced copy of the statement: We have seen media reports about the status of Mike Woodson. Mike Woodson is our basketball coach and will continue to be as he tries to make it over a very steep hump. It’s almost a hill, really. With only 3 McDonald AAs, he has IU with a winning record and primed to make some sort of post season appearance. The King is the coach. The haters are going to need to find another foil.

We do have one announcement from IU.

We are, in fact, playing Michigan tomorrow ...
