It started with Fatjohns and the other IU official outlets with Woodsons contract buyout. Then all the other stuff started. Coming from the more legit guys. It all came back to Dolson. Dude wants us to know it’s not him that’s the hold up.
Buckner vs Dolson

I don't buy this at all. This is a zero percent chance Woody gets shit-canned; I don't even think it's a conversation point. I wish it were.
Why bring conventional wisdom into this? Nobody asked for it. We're celebrating a unicorn's birthday.
IMO, the only way Woody isn't here next season is if Dolson has Stevens or Wright lined up, which isn't realistic.
If Dolson does pull this off be jumps to the top of my Christmas list. I just don't see it.
I know I mentioned Brad earlier but that was a joke. He hasn't even coached or recruited in the NCAA in more than a decade. Long before the portal and NIL. He's done with college ball. IMHO.
I will run naked through the neighborhood if that day comes. Because it won't.
Assuming the worst is not unreasonable per the last 25 years.
Pearl has a set of demands at Auburn that haven't been met, not sure this is about money.
1. Wants a basketball only facility. They currently share with WBB and volleyball
2. Wants out of the Under Armour deal. Under Armour circuit has gone to hell and it's not helping with recruiting.
3. He wants his son named coach in-waiting at Auburn
You may not live long either with your weekends. Dumb.
I think the mailbox incident damn near got him. If you notice Kurt and Lucy are playing nice. Weird.
I think the world of Scott Dolson. He has IU rushing through his blood. He freaking loves IU. He’s responsible for millions in donations the last thirty years or more. I have zero doubt he’s going to do everything in his power to be the “Guy” responsible for bringing IUMBB back to Blue Blood status.
I have no idea what will happen except he will give it his best shot. I am supporting him no matter what happens.
I did hear May is recruiting Mullins so it could be Indiana or Ohio State.
Put me down as someone that doesn’t want to watch a Pearl coached team anymore than I want to continue to watch a Woodson coached team.
Change is needed…Pearl is not my kind of an answer
Who would have known Dolson had balls like this. Everyone thought he was just a Fred Glass clone doing the same old IU.
If Dolson makes a move on Woody after this season, after he ditched Tom Allen- well, be still my heart- results do matter! Also I hear many rumors that players are stating if Woody returns they do not. I’ve zero clue if said rumors are valid. Willdog7 I’m sorry things didn’t work out but I’ve known for a while it wouldn’t.
Many thought Dolson would be status quo. It’s getting more apparent he’s not. Fred wouldn’t have done these moves or even tried.
Who didn’t see it? St Mary’s, Arizona, Miami, UConn, Auburn, Kansas, Purdue….I mean how many data points are needed to show Woody is not the coach to get us back into upper echelons of college basketball?
To be fair, these moves are mere speculation. Why don’t we wait until something actually happens before we anoint the guy as some sort of savior. I personally still believe Woodson will return next season.
I’m saying the football move, moving on from Archie. He also is setting up PR. Fred wouldn’t do any of those things. Dolson isn’t sitting in his chair waiting on a move. He’s pushing. He understands that this environment is different.
IU, along with all the other conference schools, fell into big money with the new media deal. This $12 million payout means much less in today’s environment. It’s entirely affordable now.
A decade previously, it would have been unheard of to fire both the men’s football and basketball coaches in the same season. It’s not an obstacle now. Dolson also knows that his donations dry up if he keeps him around and probably is a net loss vs paying the $12 million.
Believe me, I hope like hell things are moving in the 🖕🏼 Woody direction.
What if I told you someone named Billy D is in the mix?
Billy D is the top of the food chain. We can't reach the top.....thats the greased pole of it all.
The NBA season ends in mid-April, at earliest, which is a month after the portal opens. No chance.
I'd love to believe these rumors, but I'm not that gullible. I seriously doubt, for example, that someone has the inside scoop on Pearl/IU being a thing. I'd bet the ranch Dolson or anyone else hasn't reached out to him ... or will.
Just being realistic.
Is this fpeaugh's alt account?
IIRC, while recruiting for the Orange, he hosted Aaron Craft to his house (and maybe others) for a BBQ during a dead period. A picture surfaced. Pearl asked Craft (not sure if he had already signed at OSU or not by this point) and his dad to lie and that was that. Maybe there was more?? Been a long time ago.Not flamed out due to on court success or play, but yes, I'd agree he flamed out. I didn't recall the events surrouding his dismissal. Slimy guy. We'd be selling our souls and you better have good compliance oversight, but I believe he could build a monster here... and he knows it.

It hasnt happened yet. I was going to say that Woodson probably saved his job with these last 2 wins. Dolson probably knows that a Minnesota loss will keep him from moving on him this year. I'll believe it when I see it.
