Sage Steele no longer at ESPN.

Sucks, I've always liked her, and was nice having an IU alum on that network.

Did it say where she was going?

Not yet, but she settled her lawsuit with ESPN. Hope she won big.

It would be great if the B1G Network picks her up.

She's great, she will land somewhere if she wants to.

I rest my case on Payne not missing this kid. Can you imagine Woody dealing with this?

Disclaimer:  I haven't watched the video.  But this isn't a good look on Payne at all.  Recruits and their families will see that he isn't even talking to kids trying to reach him.  I know this one is a PIA but still a bad look

45% is a substantial number.  Wow.

Our mailman has had a little recent trouble "delivering" tweets into btb threads.  Must be time for a refresher in the USPS creed:  “Neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet, nor hail shall keep the postmen from their appointed rounds.”      lol

Wish I knew why I can’t embed  tweets anymore when I copy the link    Very annoying and frustrating

Even taking into account that walk-ons enter the portal that is a huge number with no team. Maybe low-major bench players are the majority?

We have Auburn in Atlanta.

While technically not a true road game, pretty much the same thing.

UConn in New York which will be less than Auburn in Atlanta but still a trounament type atmosphere that will likely lean UConn’s direction.   Although, we do travel well, so who knows.  
 

Strength of schedule doesn’t bother me under Woodson.  I think he gets it just about right.  Plenty of B1G games on the road as it is.  Losing a nonCon road game won’t be a big difference maker imo, as we can lose a B1G road game and get the same feel. 1 less loss.

Purdue hasn't scheduled a non-conference road game since the 2019-20 season.

I think neutral site games against Auburn, UCONN and UT or UL makes up for that 

[Hovadipo]

think the neutral site games against Auburn and UConn are like having road non-con games

[Josh]

Do any of you actually believe your own bullshyt?  UPSHoosier done started some stuff

[BGleas]

Couldn't care less about how many true road games we have in the non-conference. 

Would rather have neutral site games anyways. It's a smarter way to schedule. We'll have tons of tough road games in conference. 

Last time I checked the Big Ten Tournament and NCAA Tournament are neutral site, not road games.
