True, if the big money people are unhappy that will be as or more important than the fanbase as a whole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told them point blank: I won’t donate one more dollar until they hire an IU person. Not at Bball coach, but for President. If we are as esteemed as we believe ourselves to be, there are many candidates from our own people. We need somebody to be here who loves this university and this state. Purdue is eating our lunch (painfully said as the father of a PU athlete). The last three were absolute clowns who have done nothing for the advancement of OUR university. They have great theoretical creds but really only cared about themselves. They have no concept of symbiosis of a university campus between athletics, academics, campus life, and alumni. DUDE!!! PREACH!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is probably true, and if it's 2 or 3 of the right guys you make a move. If it isn't, then you wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUCrazy2 Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 Ohio State and Illinois look to be playing each other for the BTT championship if Illinois holds out here. Something, something hired at same time as Miller... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without getting into the conversation of what you or I think about that comment, what matters is how the President and BOT feel about it and how 17 and 18 year old kids feel about it.

Yeah if we don't care about character go get Pitino. That's a no brainer and he'd crawl on broken glass from Iona to Bloomington to get the job.

Coming home may not outweigh their preference for the NBA, but it also might. Only they know. I'm not a mind reader but I was a psychology minor. Seems like the progression has been downward.

I can’t remember the details. IU would be money and prestige ahead by now or who knows, maybe self sanctioned to the point of dead in the water. Who knows. I guess IU has the clean slate that’s worth something. Although, what good is it to argue that the tire could have blown on the vacation vehicle if we never left town.
