The donations that are coming in are in a lot of ways coming in from work that precious administrations laid. It's a very delayed process. Future administrations are going to have to deal with the mess that has taken place over the last 20 years more than the current regime. The current regime is reaping the rewards from others work. Having a shitty football and basketball program for 20 years is going to come back to haunt the school later Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app I don't think our football team will help one bit in raising money for basketball specific facilities. I might be wrong but UKs luxury apartments aren't for any other athletes. Its up to Archie to have success to get money for that. Quote
HoosierAloha Posted January 13, 2018 Posted January 13, 2018 I don't think there's an argument that having a better football program would help. The argument is how much it would help. Regardless, I'd love to have a respectable football program that1) goes to a bowl game annually 2) consistently sells out home games 3) a source of pride for IU fans and alums4) helps provide annual revenue I love IU and want to see all sports prosper. I'd love to see the consistent sell outs at soccer games, women's basketball games having huge crowds, and all other programs being supported to the upmost. I think the administration and student body could do more to get fans in the seats. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Walking Boot of Doom and Iugradman 2 Quote

Would love to see them give a discount on basketball and football tickets if you attend a certain number of other sporting events mdn82 and HoosierAloha 2 Quote

WayneFleekHoosier Posted January 13, 2018 Posted January 13, 2018 How people continue to discredit Haas is amazing to me. Purdue is truly one of the best teams in the country this year. Amazing, considering that roster. If Purdue keeps this up Painter will be a national coach of the year candidate. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners MoyeNeeded and ElectricBoogaloo 2 Quote

Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Purdue has no apparent weaknesses. They have size, depth, and shooting. I would take C. Edwards any and every day of the week. With MSU going down at home today, Purdue looks in the driver's seat for back to back conference titles. Like it or not, and I don't, they are a legitimate threat for a deep tourney run. Quote

Hoosier Guy Posted January 13, 2018 Posted January 13, 2018 Michigan State isn’t that good. They’re talented but they can’t put it together. I don’t fear them. Purdue might win the B1G again. But then again, they’re Purdue. They’ll find a way to lose it Quote

Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners I figured they'd be pretty good, even with Swanigan gone, but what I'm struggling to comprehend is how they're THIS good. Is the Big Ten just that bad? Is college basketball that down? Do teams just struggle with their size because it's so unusual for a team to be playing 2 seven footers regularly in this day and age? Was Carsen Edwards just that underrated? Has their senior class just panned out that much better than even they could have envisioned? It just seems like so many things all had to happen for them to reach this point, and every single one of them did. Even crazier when you consider Painter was close to getting fired three years ago.

Keep in mind the B1G is really bad this year. They'll run through the conference then get exposed in the round of 32. Josh and mdn82 2 Quote

And that’s why IU can still finish top 5 in conference Quote

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if they stumble early against an athletic team that can defend. pu will turn it over and take contested threes. They're beatable in the tourney.
