Lol. We suck so much. Didn't we have a game with Notre Dame lined up at the end of the 2020s?

[Alford Bailey]

Any reason why? To add another cupcake?

[Alford Bailey]

Looks like we want out but may be too late to cancel 2023 game. Will cost us $2 million to get out of the other 2 games.

At IU football they should only schedule automatic wins in the non conference. With playing in the East every win is important so no need to schedule oisdible losses. When coaches jobs are on the line if you don't make a bowl then this is the route you should go.

Yes. Allen needs all the easy wins he can get to try to salvage his job.

I wonder if IU will try to get out of the ND series too? Idk why they scheduled them in the first place. IU being a crappy program needing easy wins isn’t something new.

Yea let’s not try to improve the program to compete with the likes of a Louisville. Let’s take the easy way out. Cowards.

I never rule out a legitimate reason that I haven’t thought of, but this seems extremely desperate and baaaad.

To kick it back "old school" a little bit....

Playing Madden 2007... Drafted three guys from IU.

I wouldn’t blame them for not scheduling schools like Louisville. We have a hard enough time being in the B1G East. But just don’t schedule these games in the first place. Trying to back out later is weak sauce.

The only legitimate scenario I’ve come up with is the B1G is trying to do something with the schedule behind the scenes and this leaked without the right context. 

I can’t imagine a program trying to get out of a game contract less than 9 months from kickoff just because the coach is trying to save his job, but our department never ceases to amaze.

This thing was scheduled in 2015. Cool Dad was still on a Tom Crean high, Tom Allen was a DC at South freaking Florida and Slick Rick was still running the 15 second offense in Louisville.

Ahh 2015, the Zander Diamont era. 

I figured it was scheduled a while ago with how far in advance they schedule football games. The fact he scheduled it then makes it even weirder to me. Louisville was coming off a 3 year stretch where they went 11-2, 12-1, and 9-4. Did cool dad think he was scheduling a basketball series?

There was a basketball series tied to it from 2016-18, we went 1-2.

Could be, just don’t know what that would be. We’d have to pay them $1 million per canceled game. That’s no small sum for a program that made its coach pay to fire his OC .

That’d be a lot of NIL

Forecast for scheduling…schedule with LEOing care.

Louisville beats IU about 38 to 10

So IU could schedule a weaker team and still get beat by a little bit lesser amount of points.

Appalachian State beats IU about 31 to 20

IU and Ball State a toss up (over/ under 34)

and finally IU wins against Indiana State 31 to 7 and finally IU would score over 30 points in one game.

 

Remember the schedule conflicts between KY and IU basketball…home and home vs off campus sites fiasco.

This type of thing is why I think there’s more to this story. You’re gonna play, at worst, an AAC team every year anyway.
