Thanks for your information. There are 350 schools in D1 basketball and roughly a third of that in high major basketball. Of course they have options...

IUALUM03 Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 1 hour ago, hoosierfan615 said: Seems very short sighted and selfish and NOT in the best interest of IU basketball like Woodson says he’s all about. Me thinks if Dusty May doesn't take a different gig this year, there is a plan in motion. Personally, I was hoping for the Painter year as an assistant thing, but Woodson has too big of an ego for that. I think Woodson goes one more, then Dusty takes over. Just my personal opinion based on nothing lol. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cupps makes that money because he's the cute white boy heart throb. Same as Galloway. There are only a few fanbases that would provide the same type of NIL for those dudes. Galloway might as a 5th year do it all glue guy to put you over the top portal addition but again, not many programs are going to pay him what he makes here. Maybe 10 in the country would be my stab. Don't forget, Leal paid off his sister's student loans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully that helps. I'm just going to have to resign myself to the fact we are becoming a portal dependent program. Hopefully Woody can find a way to make it work. I"m not a fan of it, but I'm a fan of IU so I will be pulling for him to be successful with this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what's going on. Simons and Buckner weren't on board with a change so Woodson is back with a lot of NIL money. Basically IU is planning on buying a team in the portal.

What a terrible approach. We need structure and a long term plan not a one year boon. Not to mention this plan is fully reliant on getting players to come to IU. Not sure this staff has the ability to do that based on last year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laughing because why wouldn’t you have just given him the money this past offseason so he could land the players he wanted/needed and put us in the best position to string back to back successful seasons? Now all the momentum built from last year has evaporated and Woody has to convince guys to come despite being on the hot seat, which will be brought up by other schools. Not to mention, not like you need all the money in the world to field a good team. You can field a top 25 team with just Indiana kids (see Purdue) or mid major guys (Domask, Jones, Knecht, Nelson, Dennis, Abmas, Baldwin, Battle, Estrada, Timberlake, etc) that don’t demand as much compensation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two things 1. Even though I don’t agree with the plan or like the plan, it makes me feel better to know there is a plan. Like you said, we will see what happens. In spite of my personal feelings about it, I’m pulling like heck for it to work. I am in the acceptance phase here. 2. As a Pacers fan as well, it kind of ticks me off. They’re generally cheap as crap with the Pacers. How about being some big spenders on the team you actually own?

I grew up in Indiana idolizing the Hoosiers. But, if I was a 20 year old elite college guard, and IU offered me more NIL money than any other school, I'm not taking it. As a guard, I would not want to play in this system or for the coaching staff that runs this system. I would leave a few NIL dollars on the table to play in a system where I could succeed, even if pkaying for that team was my childhood dream. Can IU overpay for a 2nd tier guard? Sure they can. But, how much does that help the team? On the flip side, if I'm an athletic big like TJD and Ware, I'm begging this staff to take me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
