I’ll give Tom Allen his props, he is really good at contracts..LOL

Was reading a “Will Clemson clean house” article and saw that Allen is in the first year of a three year guaranteed $6,000,000 (roughly 2mm per year) contract. He is unlikely to hit additional cash incentives for making the CFP, having a statistically elite defense etc.

If he is let go at the end of the year they will owe him $4,000,000.

Hindsight is 20/20 but our agreement with UVA was perfect for a 9 conference plus 1 P4 game requirement.

Seems so.

Though if we manage to get a more marquee home/home I’d feel good about that.   I’d like an opponent that if we lose our season isn’t over, and if we win it’s a big resume builder.  Plus a marquee opponent is more fun, gets more eyeballs on IU, and lets us sell more expensive tickets.  UVA was more downside than upside in my opinion.

But, if we schedule a UVA-like team that will leave us scratching our heads.

Frankly I’m fine with the cupcakes until our program is more established with several high school classes integrated into the team and less portal reliance.  The cupcakes serve a role when we have tons of new guys.  We’ll get criticism, but if it helps us get ready, the B1G schedule will always give us enough chances to prove ourselves.

Mike Gundy fired at Oklahoma State

Darn.  He was really entertaining in press conferences.  If someone is crazy enough to put him on a pregame show that would work for me...

It seems like the resources dried up a bit once T Boone passed, and the NIL/rev share era was not a kind development for a smaller school in the middle of nowhere.

Interesting.

Man, T Boone was made for the NIL era. He redid a bunch their facilities from football to golf. He would’ve spent to the moon on players if he thought it would bring them a title.

He’d be a great replacement for Corso
