Also people seem to be skipping over the fact in the article stating that the NIL deal was the top priority for him. There were a lot of actual football concerns he had with staying here… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

13th&Jackson Posted December 16, 2022 Report Share Posted December 16, 2022 51 minutes ago, DC2345 said: QB Emory Jones is visiting IU this weekend 2-8 last year as a starter at AZ St. One of the wins was an upset over WA. Jones was injured in the 2nd qtr and the backup led them to the win. So his only win was over FCS N. AZ. He was 6-7 as a starter at FL the prior year, with 2 SEC wins. In their bowl loss to UCF, he was 14-36 passing, but ran for 62 yards. He's a capable runner. Called into action after Emory Jones was injured, Bourguet threw for three touchdowns and orchestrated Arizona State's offense to near perfection in a 45-38 victory over No. 21 Washington on Saturday that gave interim coach Shaun Aguano his first victory.

Also, who really thought he would stick around to begin with? I am not sure an "expose" on what happened behind the scenes is helpful to the program either. CFB is a rough and tumble business these days. These types of scenarios are playing out at every program.

Just leave and wish people well. You’d think his parents would know better. But I also think Tom Brew's article was unnecessary. I think we get what happened. It's not rocket science. IU had a bad season. Dasan came to IU with his pops. Pops left, as did both his brothers, one because of injury (which I think is more important than has been discussed) the other decommitted. Dasan played reasonably well (I would say he shined brightly early, then disappeared as the season wore on, hence why FR can't be relied upon) and is a highly sought after player with NIL options that IU can't or will not pay. Dasan and the family are not going to say it's about $, that's a bad look. So of course they are going to say it's a combination of things, what else does anyone expect? Not sure it's necessary to say they ghosted folks or whatever. "Leaking" that info doesn't help anyone. The program could simply say "we tried" and we appreciate Dasan's hard work..." blah blah blah.

What I would try at IU with NIL and LEO in mind. Forget the 4 and 5 star money grabbers. Make it all about team. Take the football NIL money and divide it among all players by class. All freshmen get x$. All sophomores x$. Same with Juniors and seniors. Each class getting a bit more. No it won't be much each. But college kids don't need much. This would prevent locker room jealousy and really make it about one another. Those that only want bucks can bail. We can never hope to have the $ of the big boys. But we can try and build camaraderie in this new NIL age. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said yesterday in a perpetual argument, every extra cent the athletic department brings in should be money spent on football. Build it and build it until the facilities and the experience is the best in the country. IU gets the same cut of tv money as any other B1G school. If there is a 50 million a year surplus annually, figure out how to spend it on the football program. Sure we might not have the NIL cash but the collective program can be flowing with the best of the best.
