Couple things... Indiana has a long history prior to Assembly Hall...  Secondly, Traditions change over time.  Traditions are added and taken away.  Time to accept it and move on.

 

A quick timeline for you...

• 1900 Indiana Basketball played their first game
• 1917 - Games played in Men's Gymnasium
• 1928 - Games played in the Fieldhouse
• 1960 - Games Played in the New Fieldhouse
• 1971 - Assembly Hall Built
• 1970's - CandyStripes  "At the time they were in keeping with the fashion trends of the 1970s"
• 1975 Martha the Mop Lady began

• 1987 - Indiana's tradition of winning National Championships ends
• 2000- Martha was removed (met with criticism)
• 2000 - Indiana's tradition of only hiring white head coaches ends. (met with criticism)
• 2005 - Advertisements appeared in Assembly Hall (met with criticism)

People have been wearing costumes at AH since 05, when I saw a game against OSU. The other stuff you listed such as non-white coaches and martha the mop lady is just that, nonsense. Not much criticism towards the scoreboard or adverts either.
