Plenty of money is a fart in the wind for the teams you listed above. They would come of IU put out $10 million a year and a serious commitment to make the team better. IU has never done anything remotely close to that. I would rather out the money into the basketball program and the other programs that actually are competitive. I don't expect to compete with those top teams but the lower division of the conference and think we spend as much ad they do.

Why bother watching the games if your expectations are so low? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 50 years of proof that isn't going to happen. What I think we should he able to compete with the rest of the league and think we have spent enough money to be able to do that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So glad you are content being at the bottom of the league every year and not even competing with the likes of Maryland and Rutgers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your comment was that IU was at the bottom of the league every year and could not compete with Rutgers. I pointed out a fact that refutes your statement. You then change your tune. And again btw, I have not communicated with Boiler for quite some time. And he’s posted here frequently lately 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it but it is bad to keep throwing money at a lost cause. Even if we spend 25 mil more a year on football we still won't be competing for a championship. That was my point was to think we have a chance to make the playoffs is pretty unrealistic.

By your reasoning all the money should go to men’s soccer because they have been the only program to compete for championships on a regular basis 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't expect to compete with those top teams but the lower division of the conference and think we spend as much ad they do. Notre Dame and Stanford are two the best two examples of schools that have above average-to-elite non-football sports programs across the board. But make no mistake, the football teams drive the bus and their revenue generation gives all those other sports some seats. IU "punting" on its football team doesn't make any sense, practically, financially, symbolically, you-name-it-ally. When you say, "I would rather put the money into the basketball program..." what money are you referring to? This statement assumes the additional money outside of basketball and "other programs" comes out of thin air. It doesn't. It's intrinsically tied to a/the football program. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierDPU95 Posted November 13, 2023 Report Share Posted November 13, 2023 I guess it was probably slightly overshadowed by the Jimbo Fisher news but in other big football news... DePauw took down Wabash in an overtime thriller to win the Monon Bell for the second straight year. Go Tigers! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would take Matt Campbell's record at Iowa State without much disappointment. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 Brutal injury for Jordan Travis and FSU. Even as Canes guy it stinks to see.

Seeking6 Posted November 21, 2023 Report Share Posted November 21, 2023 Looking forward to seeing what the CFP committee does. Especially with Florida St. I think Washington's resume is better but in an odd way I think Washington's resume is better than Michigan's given their close win at Maryland. I guess it will figure itself out this weekend. Loser of Michigan/Ohio St gets bounced. Loser of eventual Washington/Oregon gets bounced so who gets the nod after Georgia or does one teams win during the regular season outweigh the other 1 loss teams....i.e. Bama, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
