With the amount of money they've spent on the roster and it turns into another mediocre season they'll have no choice. The whole QB thing is over blown I'm sure from you fvcking fhaggotry peegs people.
Some may have overblown it...I have not.
 
Bummed BYU lost. Would’ve loved to have played against Catchings.
Looks like he got his promise to start. Unfortunately, he’s shooting 38%/26%/50%. Dude wanted guarantees without having to compete against guys like Cam and earning it. He would have been a distraction for this year’s squad, and I’m glad Painter cut bait.
 
Do you think QB is ready to relinquish or will we have a standoff with Scott?

Whitten doesn't have the ties to Woody that others (including Dolson) do, but she serves at the pleasure of the BOT.

NIL is a obviously a strength of Universities with alumni bases such as ours but having kids with big bags including bench guys making $400K has not driven excellence in anything but roster names. That is on Woody all day. Personally, I think all donors need to send the same message we did with Tom Allen.

I love Woody as a player and a person, but it hasn't worked out.
I believe that Scott wins the *standoff* with Quinn this time. And Scott has no ties to QB other than he is an IU legend (and my all time favorite Hoosier player as a fellow’76 grad) but Scott’s official IU career began when he matriculated to IU from Michigan City with his good friend Delray Brooks.
And to your last assertion - I too love Woody as a player but that just be where my admiration ends.

Yes, although QB is the Chair of the BOT so Scott has that tie. Thanks for thr refresher on Brooks, I had forgotten that.

I don't know what will happen, but we have all seen enough to know that the product on the court is not working. As operations move to rev sharing we have the opportunity to reconfigure. I am just not yet convinced it will happen. IU/TAH has been sold out since the '70s and fans still travel very well. As long as there is a waiting list for season tickets, people lose perspective.

Ticket sales isn't the only revenue stream they look at nor is it the only barometer for keeping a coach. I'm sure there's a mini turn around in the future but it's fairly obvious to see this isn't working out. He has his rosters, got his guards to run the offense and an abundance of talent. It's poorly coached and seeing the turn around in football has made it fairly obvious to Dolson.

Right, and I think the turrnaround in FB, (to whatever extend that is sustainable), plus the continued sucess of WBB, Soccer, Baseball, S&D puts even more pressure on the MBB program to remain the marquee brand.

Sounds like sour grapes to me 😂😂
