Billboards around Bloomington need to go up....

It is a dumb idea, but if you are going to do this, the billboards need to be in Indy. Specifically on the north side on 65 and 465. Target a meaningful audience.
You need to do something to put the heat on Fred. He goes and all our problems are solved. However, nothing gets fixed as long as he's around
Bloomington billboard companies probably do a lot of business with the university and would not cooperate. Maybe same for those in Indy area.
Go picket the Governor's mansion on North Meridian St. Even better yet, go picket the White House in DC
Crean will get a cop to be his fulltime bodyguard. Some of the fans who intensely dislike him are complete mental cases.
You should get that big wallet out and make the buyout. By the way, Cuban loves Crean so $$ isn't coming from there.
UK fan here - I was part of the group that took out the ad against Tubby Smith.
My advice is don't consider it, don't discuss it. It won't make a difference, believe me - the IU administration knows that fans are upset, Crean knows it, future recruits know it.
The downside is doing something like this is ammo against your fanbase, against your recruiting and remember - the brotherhood of coaches and former coaches that got fired and now get paid to talk on TV all day - it provides them with motivation to dog your program. They have an intense dislike against anyone who played a part when one of them gets fired.
Some may say that we had a role in removing Tubby, and maybe we did, but I suspect our actions wouldn't have made a difference. I know its tough when you lose faith in your AD. Ours dragged his feet and then rushed to get the latest "fad" coach who turned out to be a drunk psycho.
Also, fwiw, when we asked about a billboard the companies that did business in Lexington flat out refused as well. They weren't about to take on the university and media to make $2500. In retrospect, I'm glad they turned us down.
