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

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.

So, we're now back to blaming fans for McNeeley decommitting? 

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.

Sorry to keep bumping this, but did anyone ever explain what the Woody was a Bridge comment meant? Bridge to a specific plan or coach, what the heck was their strategy when they hired him?

Yea, someone earlier on here said they are somewhat swaying away from May and targeting Drew still, with Tang rumors looming around. Or that is what they have read recently.

He’s basically burned his bridges in Arkansas and not sure anyone’s looking to touch him.

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 optics are his decommitment had to do with the announcement that Woodson was coming back for 24-25. 

There were reports that Liam had decided to decommit as early as December/January, but was waiting to see if Woodson would be fired so his LOI release would be automatic. When the news broke that Woodson would return, Liam made the announcement and asked for his release.

But yeah, it was the fans that drove him away. LMAO. It was Woodson's coaching and the lack of supporting cast ("recruiting") that caused Liam to reconsider.
