He's got a ring and quite a bit of success. I would imagine there are plenty of players looking for an environment of personal/spiritual growth and accountability. Now does it turn off certain recruits, I'm sure it does. And Christianity and Deshaun Watson slinging it around the yard go hand in hand.....no pun intended. Haha. Sorry. Couldn't resist. Honestly though Dabo had his best seasons when Watson and Lawrence were playing. It's all about the QB. Find one and you have 7-8 wins in most P5 conferences locked up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are employees then let them pay for their schooling and get rid of scholarships. Make them pay for their meals because I don't think regular employees get meals free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if it's what is required, so be it.... gotta spend money to make money. No you don’t. That’s the rub. IU will make a shit ton of bowl revenue and tv revenue just for sitting in the Big10. They don’t have to do Jack shit but toe the conference line. And they know it too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full ride with the standard benefits package or NIL pay your own way. Problem is, federal law already approved the NIL so where is the line drawn? Eventually the courts are going to rule that players get a share of the TV money. It's just a matter of time. And yes, universities will have to make decisions on what to do with non revenue sports just like naia, d2, and 3 do anyways. Not the end of sports and certainly not the end of the world.

iuthruandthru Posted December 9, 2022 Report Share Posted December 9, 2022 I think it’s bold to assume a few parents posts are the the true measure. I have talked directly to a couple parents who feel the exact opposite. The truth is likely in the middle from both ends but I have direct examples of things that have been done and said that have turned me personally off on this coaching staff. However, I think it will be good for this staff to bring in new players with fresh perceptions, but as has been alluded by others what is the word on IU in the player circles out there? We will see I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont care who the coach is or how successful they are, you can always find players/parents that hate them. Of course. I have had some of the "most loyal" parents stab me in the back.. because in the end, they were just using me or our relationship to get what they wanted out of the situation... and when the realized they weren't getting what they wanted, they immediately turned into me, as the coach, having some personal vendetta against their child. Multiple times have had my character questioned because little Timmy couldn't get on the field. Momma Benson wasn't held against her will to say these things, though. And there were also multiple parents who commented on the post. Either way... I have no issue if ppl are frustrated with Allen as far as the product on the field goes. I just don't make it habit to mock people for wanting to do good. That's the bottom line for me.

Hoosierfan1901 Posted December 9, 2022 Report Share Posted December 9, 2022 Apparently, IU is revoking season ticket holders. Zane is a local guy and is one of the announcers for USI, so he is pretty trustworthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking as a parent who's daughter played college softball..... Just like any parent would hope for their child, we wanted her to be/feel safe, comfortable and happy. We wanted the coach to be as genuine, honest and transparent with her, like when he recruited her. When she got on campus and officially on the team, things became quit the opposite. After one year, she transferred to a different school, that new coach's message and pitch to her did not waiver. I know this happens in all sports and it's unfortunate, we just witnessed it first hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a good thing in regards to his faith, but not so good if this also relates to his coaching. What he's preaching there doesn't seemed to be in practice (enough) and if it is, he's preaching the wrong message. I think we all know he's a good person and a god fearing man, most are skeptical of his ability to coach at this level, develop players (not the person, the player), and make adjustments both on and off the field (and quickly). I am not a CTA basher, but at this level, being a good person only goes so far. You have to win too. I do credit him for the two good seasons; all seasons and games have "fluky" stuff. But I also will blame him for some poor performances regardless of the limitations within the program. They lost a few games this year that they should have won. Win those and we're not talking about him AT ALL. Edited December 10, 2022 by OGIUAndy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
