may have already been visited, but has anybody seen the HBO special on the Adidas scandal. The whole thing was laughable.

Stuff like this transcends a heated Rivalry. Prayers to the Newman family.

I feel that kid is gonna end up whooping up on us. I know a lot here feel Franklin is better. That redshirt might have really helped him. Prayers to him and his family.

He was always a good player. A better scorer than Franklin in HS. Hunter is proving to be a solid player for them as well.

I can see Newman starting and being really good for them over 4 years.

So this is the last season for the Crossroads Classic right? We play Butler. Should be an interesting season for Butler as they lose Baldwin and McDermott, arguably their two best players and their top two scorers. And it seems they are losing Jordan Tucker as well.

Jalen Coleman-Lands formerly of Illinois; formerly of DePaul has placed his name in the transfer portal.  He was recently granted a 6th year of eligibility by the NCAA.

He was a very good 3pt shooter at Illinois. Took quite a dive at DePaul.

Hopefully Dolson ends the CC and replaces it with something more intriguing.  CC is an IU event that subsidizes the AD coffers of three other programs.

Would suggest an event featuring IU, KY, UL and Butler in LOS.

Yeah.  Unconfirmed reports he's offered Grant Gelon a scholly.

I wouldn’t add Butler. Need to get in something that competes nationally. Champions Classic has Duke, Michigan State, Kansas, Kentucky. I think something along Indiana, North Carolina, Arizona and Villanova. That’d be more fun. But I’d also like to see another series that interesting. Against an Arizona, Oregon, Texas, Florida or something. But that’s what sucks about the 20 game conference schedule and having the CC, B1G/ACC/Gavitt games. Not much room to fill games against teams from the Pac12, Big 12 or SEC. I was surprised with the Arky game.

We need to take OSU's place in the CBS Sports classic. That event features 3 basketball bluebloods and a football blueblood that was called upon because we wanted to stay in our Indiana sandbox.

That’ll be just fine if they can get the Shot Doctor to come to Athens!

Would love to be in that. But I’m sure we could find a way to do both. Butler and Notre Dame are a good opponent every year

Notre Dame has been iffy when we’ve played them. We seem to catch them on their down years. Would much rather replace both of them bigger programs.

Notre Dame has been a quad 1 or 2 game the last three years we have have played them. Granted some of those games precede the quad system but it’s what we have now. 
 

It’s going to be hard to find another reliable quad 1 or at worst 2 matchup that will play on a neutral court where we actually have a fan advantage every year.

I don’t care about the quad crap. That’s easy to replace when you should be picking from UNC, Zona, Oregon, Kansas, Kentucky, Duke etc.
2011 Notre Dame ended up 22-12(13-5) and we beat them 69-58. 2013 they ended up 15-17(6-12) and beat us 79-72. In 2015 they went 24-12(11-7) and we beat them 80-73. 2017 they ended up 21-15(8-10), missed the NCAA tourney and we beat them 80-77(McRoberts to Morgan tip and jam). 2019 they finished 20-12(10-10), no clue if they were tourney bound or not. Either way, they just aren’t what we need. Our big OOC game the last few years has been us getting our butts kicked by Duke in the B1G/ACC Challenge. But Duke is a much bigger brand and that’s good for us. That’s who we need to be competing with. And if we have to replace the CC with playing Duke, UNC, Arizona or something, please let that happen. We’d be better off. If anything, Butler and Notre Dame are the only ones being helped out by the event. Purdue has sucked in it at 2-7.

The fact you don’t care about it doesn’t make it one of if not the top priority for our scheduling.
