Scott hired the best football coach in IU history and hired a basketball coach with the best mind we've had since Sampson. Given how Sampson's tenure turned out, DDV is probably the best basketball hire we've made since Knight. Future of IU athletics is bright. It's going to be fun to be an IU fan again.

Things are looking up for sure.  I hope the BB team exceeds my expectations!

The best thing he did was get out ahead of the NIL era.  I heard this morning there will be > $250 million in dead money paid to coaches (James Franklin, Brian Kelley, etc) as contract buyouts.  That's crazy.

In college football, no team can win consistently without an elite coach.  There might be a dozen of them nationwide and we have one of them who is happy at Indiana.  Scott being ahead of things and finding that coach before everyone else found out they had to changed the game and everything about athletics at Indiana.   Basketball will benefit from football's success AND get better on its own.

We're sitting in a really good spot and Indiana is most definitely here to stay.  We have perfect alignment - for the first time since Ralph Floyd and John Ryan - between coaches, athletic director, and school president.  That's rare and we get to enjoy it.

He almost single-handedly saved the IU athletics. He's arguably the most important figure in IU sports by bringing in coach Cig and coach DeVries. Something that had never been done by any former AD.

Plus he was previously in a fund raising role which certainly helps, we hope, in this NIL world.

Can we get 10 more years of Cig and 15 more years of DDV?

Then Scott make the next hires?
