Poll: Did Indiana Sabotage Allen?
- Thread starter IUCX9
- Start date
They sabotaged the entire football program and have been for years. TA should have never been hired in the first place.
Yeah, they made him take bad timeouts, play not to lose, forced players to muff punts and barely try to tackle people, and generally have no clue how much time is on the clock or know game situations. Oh, and apparently do team building instead of actually practicing all Spring.
When I think of that clown the first thing I think of is him jumping up and down like he had just won the Super Bowl when they beat Akron in 4 OT’s
No. NIL is up to the donors, not the school. Allen had lost the confidence of the big money folks. Wealthy people don’t make bad investments.
I hope somebody sabotages me someday to the tune of $15.5 million.
Hoosier Huddle rumor of facility upgrade money given but not released for use while Allen was still HC.
Oh Allen got a lot more than that over the last 3 years of 9-27 ball.
But yeah, me too.
I will tell you one thing they should do immediately:
Build a state of the art athletic housing complex.
Athletes get paid now. This is no longer about a “college experience” and mingling with students.
Comply with Title IX and put in a women’s high rise and a men’s section. Install a movie theater, indoor pool, driving range. Make it a gated community with transportation. A dining facility. A Starbucks. These are elite athletes that deserve elite accommodations. If the athlete wanted to opt for regular student housing, they could do that as well.

Actually schools now have departments that help the students connect with collectives and businesses to help them earn NIL money. I believe Ohio State was one of the first to do this. Indiana would be very smart to do this as well if they aren't already. Similar to hooking up students with internships. I'm sure Coach Ryan Day can tell a recruit that OSU has helped their athletes collect $X million dollars in NIL money. That would be a huge selling point.
Must have…. Massage Parlor, Hair Salon, Tattoo Parlor
It would be in there. A bowling alley, go-cart track, whatever they want. Cram it in there.
Do you mean the school or the fan base or what? I don’t understand how the school could “refuse to give NIL support?
If you mean did the fans sabotage him…it’s just not realistic that donors are going to throw money at a dumpster fire.

Pretty sure we do. I recall reading when the Hoosiers for Good collective formed that IU was trying to be out in front on NIL. I don't know if others have passed them up in these efforts but yes, schools can help athletes connect with collectives and sponsors, they just can't directly provide the money to pay them.
No one can force a business or individual to spend their money. They’ll invest in what they want to support.
I can see a donor pledging contingent on a coaching change.
