Definitely been a rough start.
I do think Nebraska is improved. Most people don't remember that they won 6 of their last 8 B1G games last year and they got Juwan Gary back and picked up a couple of nice transfers.
Their schedule has been soft but they did thump a bad P6 team in Oregon State and beat A-10 contender Duquesne by double digits.
Howard gets tossed in a game he isnt even coaching? ELL. OH. ELL.
Has anyone watched the "extended" highlight videos that Big Ten Network posts? I've watched a couple of them recently and they're legitimately the worst highlights videos I've ever seen. They'll have unedited stretches of the game that last like a minute and will have like 3 bricked shots.
It's legitimately bizarre how bad they are.

Lol yep. Honestly interested to see who they hire but they’ve been paying a lot of money to make coaches go away lately. I think their best bet is someone like Candle at Toledo tbh. NIL/Facilities wise they’re at the bottom of the conference which won’t help.
Yep. If they waited until 12/1 next year, it would have dropped to $7.9MM. Given the likelihood that whoever comes in next isn't going to be any better than TA, I'm not sure why they didn't just give him another year.
I don't know if the AD who gave him that deal is still employed but he shouldn't be. Dude had a good year by IU standards by beating a bunch of bad teams in 2019 and then benefitted by the goofy 2020 COVID season and parlayed that into a contract that had him set for life.
Deboer helped him get that after 19&20 with IUs best two year stretch in 30+ years.
$12 million can be made up rather quickly, thinking of only next year is foolish in the grand scheme. A lot of support can be lost in a dead year for a coach. That buyout number is very very rarely paid out.
Penn State looked like ass this morning vs. MIke Rhoads old team VCU. He takes the Penn State job, and then steals their star player Ace Baldwin and another starter only to lose to his former team.
Penn State looks like they will rival Minnesota for worst team in the league.

It was going to be a rough year for you guys next year anyway so might as well try your luck with a new coach.
Have no idea on roster makeup but overall talent is quite a bit better than it was during the last search. I just find it silly that everytime a coach is given a buyout people question the contract like they can see if the future. He took IU to a gator bowl and outback bowl on back to back years, give him his money.
No wonder he seemed to always be smiling and in a good mood after losing.
WHAT was Brohm's buyout?
The buyout for Allen was crazy, BUT....the back to back years he had somewhat justified it.
And look, PU gave Brohm a new contract for $4.8 million a year---even though he was only 13-13 at the time. You guys gave a dude who had a .500 record, $36 million dollars...
Easy with those rocks, bub.
I'd say this was in the works for some time. And good for TA. Awful HC, but a stand up dude for sure
Nebraska moves to 7-0 today with another win over a shitty opponent.
Tominaga finished with 17 points.
3 of 3 from 3
3 of 3 from 2
2 of 2 from the free throw line.

Context also matters. He took over the worst power 5 program at the time. He’s no longer Purdue’s coach so whatever I’m not going to go to bat for the guy but I think he’s proven he was worth every penny.
And Allen coached at one of the worst P5 ever...Not just at the time---but ever, Went to back to back bowls...So his raise/contract, just as worthy as giving a dude $36 million dollars for being ,500
I realize that. You know my initial post was about fans making fun of Purdue paying Brohm and how silly that looks in hindsight, right? Especially after said fans just fired their coach for being one of the worst power 5 teams still? How Brohm and Allen went out couldn’t be more dissimilar though.
But I never made fun of IU giving Allen that contract. I realize you have to pay guys especially if you have positive momentum.
I do....And also, never compared how the two coaches went out.
FTR, I think it was silly for either school to give that type of $$. SAid it with Brohm….And said it with TA. I get it. YOu have too. Still doesn't make it not stupid.
The delta is $12MM.
The material opportunity costs associated with keeping him are significant
Wasn't Allen in the 1.5 to 2.5 million range his first 3 seasons before the extension?
Spending a portion of what you saved those early years makes the extension and buyout much more palatable.
I would have to go look, not gonna guess.
The extension was warranted for the BIG and NCOY, but they screwed the pooch on the buyout clause. Was not necessary for a guy that loved the university
Brohm got butts back in the seats and that paid for every bit of his contract. he is a dick and his players were punks but he got fans back in the stands
