    Mellencamp getting new turf

    It seems like providing some minor aesthetic upgrades to Mellancamp and building a second bigger facility would serve the athletic department best. I have to think that Mellancamp can be useful for other sports/activities and the occasional football spillover activity. Connect the two with a...

    Do you Buy what Cig is Selling?

    I don’t know. I like the hire, like his confidence, and he has a record of winning. Our recruiting class is last in the B1G overall rankings, mostly because it’s a small class, but the average star rating is higher than 6 other B1G programs this cycle. Not bad. The transfer class overall right...

    Final Staff

    I'm interested to know contract details - CCC salary and the salary pool for assistants. Hope IU gave CCC what he needed to get the guys he wanted.

    IU Football Rebuild

    I don't think we were ever built, so this is just going to be a building year. I sure hope we're not rebuilding a 3 win team.

    The bison and block I are dumb and need to go away.

    I'm very aware that it's on the state seal - most in the state aren't. Virtually 0 outside of the state can make any connection between the two.

    The bison and block I are dumb and need to go away.

    I hate the block I so much. It's ugly and generic, only the most passionate IU fans even associate it with IU. Basically no outsiders do. Hate that we wear it for big games when we should be sticking with our more recognizable trident. The uniforms overall have been garbage the last few years...

    Facilities

    The excellence academy is fine, but it's still just an athlete-only concept, not quite the integration I alluded to.

    Facilities

    If university leadership would be a bit creative, they could identify multiple university needs that go beyond athletics and that could be addressed in a major memorial stadium renovation, potentially allowing for reduced costs and definitely creating more visual and practical impact. Notre...

    Facilities

    Nothing in the article indicates that suites/expanded press box are not under consideration. They list premium seating options and locations as an item for exploration, which would seem to include the possibility of additional suites and/or press box expansion. I'll forever be annoyed at the...

    How would you grade the B1G team additions...

    USC: A UCLA: B- Oregon: A- Washington: B+ Penn State: A Nebraska: C Maryland: C- Rutgers: F The real danger here is that Oregon and Washington were brought it at a significantly reduced payout. I’ve read that it’s about 1/2 the payout but haven’t seen anything to verify. Is that for a number...

    IU athletic department had the largest profit in the country in 2022

    I get the gut reaction but I suspect it's not quite that simple. IU's biggest revenue jump from previous years and positive outlier is from contributions, up from 20-28M annually the 5 years prior to $61M in 2022. I assume it's an outlier and not a new yearly expectation from the department...

    BIG to announce 24 schedule model tomorrow

    That's better, but I still don't love it. IU now gives students the whole week of Thanksgiving off (Nov. 18-26 this year). A lot of students are going to head home for the holiday as soon as they can. It would be different if we had a strong program and history of support, but we don't. A...

    BIG to announce 24 schedule model tomorrow

    Those were two examples, there are numerous others. You conveniently ignored the Big 10 teams that I listed (MSU, Penn State, Rutgers, and Maryland) that also do not have solidified final games. Any of them would be fine in rotation for the last game. There are clear options within conference...

    BIG to announce 24 schedule model tomorrow

    It would cause some disruption but I'd bet there are workable solutions. Other conferences manage - UT/Oklahoma, Iowa/Iowa State, for example, play mid-season. We could look for a non-conference solution for the last game, Penn State has no rival in the new model and could serve as a last game...

    BIG to announce 24 schedule model tomorrow

    Now is the time for the AD to advocate for moving the Bucket game to earlier in the year. It's a travesty that our rivalry game occurs when most our students have left for Thanksgiving. The game would be so much more fun in Sept/Oct with students on campus, better weather, and when we still have...

    BIG to announce 24 schedule model tomorrow

    As they should and just like literally every other school. Bama plays Austin Peay, Middle Tennessee, and Chattanooga this year. Georgia plays Ball State, Tennessee-Martin, and UAB.

    Field Level "Suites"

    It's a good thing. These are fairly common in football stadiums now. We're certainly not the first to do it. But, of course, our negative Nancies believe it cannot possibly work. Variation in premium seat options is a good thing. As far as premium seating goes, this is a pretty affordable option...

    IU Should Lead The Parade of The Financially-Unwilling Out of The NCAA

    I actually don’t think NIL changes things much. The pecking order will remain the same. We already weren’t competing for recruits with OSU. The portal is a much bigger deal, imo.

    Seth Litrell is available

    I believe Leonard is staying at Wisconsin as DC, but I had the same thought when I saw the Litrell news.

    Portal Targets

    I am not familiar with those players, but looking at their current institutions, I can’t imagine things will get any better. Yikes.
