I don't have much sympathy for the millionaires who funded this crap show. 

I don’t either because they are the ones who bailed MW’s lack of recruiting effort and are enabling him!  Sometimes you reap what you sow!

Don’t really feel like that will be a problem anyone has to face 

What side is that Luke? I'm on the side that hates bad lazy basketball, performed by overpaid coaches and players alike.

National media are now killing Woody—and this team—I’d say his seat is the hottest in the country.

So you are saying we will have his resignation before lunch?  <fingers crossed>

We knew that they would catch up with us eventually... you cannot ignore the obvious forever... time to get the moving van to AH.

From The Daily Hoosier -

That was IU's second all-time worst loss at Assembly Hall. Worst was by 32 points to Wisconsin in 2010 when Tom Crean was still rebuilding.  In fact, Woodson now owns 4 of Indiana's 10 worst losses in Assembly.

Maybe there is another point of view.  It would not have been my point of view.

 Certainly after 3 years it was abundantly clear that Woody didn't know how to win at this level.

The other perspective would be to spend the NIL at the end of the last season.  Get the best one can get out of the portal.  And see if Woody sinks or swims with his hired players...his way.

 They did that.  He sunk.  Now let him go with a negotiated buyout. 

My point of view was it was clear, after one season, that Coach Woody did not get the best out of a team.  But, he had TJD and others.  Coach Woody is going to gut the program for the next sap, I mean person, that agrees to come in as HC at this deathtrap for HCs.  (For mega millions of $$$$.)

For those of us that still yearn for great basketball at IU...we are about to see whether IU actually agrees with us.  

To throw IU basketball forever under the bus or build something spectacular and hang another banner in AH if it is still standing.

Saw a reference to Calbert  being more loyal to Woodson than he is to the university... true? How did that happen? Calbert isn't stupid...

Club member…C.C. Along for the perks, status, benefits, money ride …as most all are in (especially professional sports) and now many in major college sports circumstances….C.C. has a little experience on professional level with the Pacers Lol plus some college experience at IU and 3 years as assistant at St Louis. Nothing jumps off the page, really.

Lock them all out of the locker room and tell them they can't wear their team gear.

I remember that Wisconsin game. Crean was ejected in the second half. He was only T'd up 3 times in the 9 years he was here; 2 of them were in that game.
