Good to see you in the mix @HoosierTownie

Any sense of where the in-town alumni base is headed re eventual resolution?

But did X play in that game last year. Remember, he is our "X" factor, pun intended.

But that was true for a whole bunch of people. They wanted someone who would reunite the "family" and, importantly to them, get Knight back into the hall for a game.

Good grief, I remember hearing so many people say things like "He's one of Bobby's boys. He'll show 'em how it's done."

People were absolutely delusional about it all. I still can't believe all the nonsense that was going around.

You want to unite people? Hire a coach that can win. Winning fixes everything.

That is an interesting read, if it is accurate.

Thanks for posting it.

And that’s if we don’t take that $1m per year and finance it out to 20 years.

Let's all hope tomorrow goes something like this

Get railroaded by 50 points... and that Hoosier team made the sweet 16... wow

If someone’s still rooting for IU to win at this point in the season, they’re rooting against IU’s best interests.

He's going to give him a new staff and a GM to help in the future for the portal. Because Woodson now believes that he doesn't need HS kids anymore, he wants to use the portal to field a team from here on out. 

This is as bad as Calipari bringing in 6-7 freshman every year - only difference is they might have a few years of experience. But you’re constantly going to have to be trying to get a team that never been together to all of a sudden mesh  and then hope to make a deep run in the tournament.

We’ve seen what’s happened at Duke and Kentucky since they won their titles. Having multiple new players every year is just not the way to build a championship basketball team

Sorry to bother but could you tell us what it said. I couldn’t open the article.

Last year when Woodson was given his raise they also added new language to his buyout. Instead of getting all $12.6 million he would be paid $1million per year.

In a perfect world, yes you build around them, but this world is not perfect and something has happened between the players and coach (if the rumors are in fact true) to set things on fire. I can only speculate what has happened between them. It always seemed as though TJD, RT, and MK had nothing but love for Woody; definitely does not seem that way with the current roster.  

Yep my point is alot of people are clueless to all of this and think Woodson is returning all these guys.
They get really made if you mention mm leaving. They give you the old where would he go line.

The buyout information is really interesting. Would seem the public opinion campaign has started from within and I am guessing it is because Dolson knows he needs it to get around QB.

There was an amendment in the contract that says that IU can pay a lump sum of $1mil a year until their obligation is fulfilled and that Woodson must search for work...

And the timing of the article.  This is not organic.  Clearly Dolson wants to make a move.

Is that the "Arby's got chucked out of the plane on the runway" game?

Lol. I think minnesota had to start a walk on due to injuries. And we only won at the very end

Minnesota was down to seven scholarship players after Gophers’ leading scorer Dawson Garcia and top freshman Pharrel Payne were ruled out Wednesday afternoon, a week after Braeden Carrington went down with a stress reaction in his leg. Preexisting season-ending injuries to forwards Isaiah Ihnen and Parker Fox have put the U without a full calvary since the start of

But on the bright side, you have a built-in excuse for sucking. "These guys haven't been playing together very long".

I remember Knight benching 4 starters.  Beat Illinois next game.

He didn't unite anyone
