On a side note saw the Trailer for the new Mission Impossible yesterday while seeing Guardians of the Galaxy(Good) and it has an epic Train going off the tracks/bridge that I am sure will be used countless times for PU in the future.

Lol couldn't resist!

If men's basketball was the only sport we were good at, I'd probably be missing IU sports too. lol

Not a good look for Bob Huggins.

This was an interview with Bill Cunningham of WLW of Cincinnati (if you are familiar with Cunningham....ugh).  He was asking Huggins about when he was in Cincinnati and Xavier fans threw objects on the floor:

------------------------------------------

"Any school that can throw rubber penises on the floor and then say they didn't do it, my God, they can get away with anything," Huggins said in the interview.

Cunningham then responded and said, "I think it was 'transgender night,' wasn't it?"

Huggins then said, "What it was, was all those f-gs, those Catholic f-gs, I think."

Yo, Bob, best get a head start cleaning out that desk... buh-bye!

Gotta think there was a better way to start retirement a year earlier than planned, Bobby.

Never ceases to amaze me that people who have a public forum aren't smart enough to know what can't be said. I don't care what they think privately, some things can't be expressed on a live microphone.

Iowa and Iowa State both investigating potential gambling from their student-athletes.  Iowa received notice of 111 individuals including 26 current athletes across five sports (football, basketball, wrestling, track and field, and baseball) of potential criminal conduct and NCAA violations.  Iowa State had 15 athletes potentially involved from their football, wrestling, and track and field programs.

Be the real shite if a certain coach's kid was involved.

Not shocked at all...and would be surprised if this isn't happening at every school across the country. Sports betting is so accessible and has been moved out of the bookies basement and into the mainstream of sports culture. Hell, ESPN runs and discusses betting lines on their programs, and then flips over to college games. 

Will be interested to see if these student athletes were betting on their own games, other teams or other sports entirely.

You think that is the real story behind the mental health hiatus?  Could certainly be.

You'd think he could come up with a far less serious excuse than a mental health crisis. I like to think they're better people than using mental health in that scenario, but...ya never know.

Yeah, I mean it could be both scenarios at once.  One beget the other?  Or they aren't related.

ln light of reports Huggins will take a $1.0 million pay cut for his indiscretion Zagoria tweeted this list.   NOTE:  List is public universities who are required to make salary information available.   Cooley reportedly getting close to $6 million at Georgetown but it's a private institution and salary info doesn't have to be made public.

It looks like the ACC is probably not going to last much longer. 7 teams were already looking to get out and now UL has made it 8 teams. So more than 1/2 the conference (8 of 15) want to leave. There are certainly some hurdles to get over before they can leave but when the majority of the conference is no longer interested in being in that conference, I just don't see how it stays together.
