was being sarcastic, he can do whatever he wants with his free time. he did ruin the rest of the season yesterday though, that was a huge loss, would have at least given us a reasonable shot to make the tournament.

Well, I think that's exactly what the OP is suggesting. These guys have lots of extra-curricular stuff going on, and when I say "these guys" I mean college players in general. I live in NC so I can't say for IU players in IN, but many of UNC's guys are on commercials here and doing podcasts, etc...
Oh... no issues KK...... was just privy to the information that it was happening. My post did not condemn Trey for what he was doing.
I understand that with NIL today.... they are all allowed to do these things.
I have no issued with it..... just reporting some info that I was given.
In fact are required to. That is what the NIL is being used for, advertising and promotion.
If Indiana is in a good place.
Leal and Galloway don't get to milk NIL.
Gives us two or three good yrs.
Then bye bye...

most likely lose early, better to have loved and lost than to have never loved
You know, I don't like what's going on either, but Woody was one of my IU heroes growing-up. I hate the ugliness & Woodson bashing. He is a smart guy; this year was a failed experiment. It looked good on paper, as a number of people picked us 1st. We have not jelled as a team much all season. I watch the really good teams like Purdue pass & move the ball compared to us. We are unsure & hesitant. Not playing much together really slows us down against experienced backcourts. Doesn't matter how good your front court is if your backcourt struggles.
I don’t understand. Cooper Flagg is a generational one and done. He may not be Anthony Davis level but he is a really really good one and done player. Assuming IU could out pay Duke’s NIL, and NIL rules, then how did we end up with Carlyle, Leal, Cupps, and Galloway and they ended up with Flagg. I am not ragging on these four players but they are paid well and they are not in the same ballpark as Flagg even as upperclassmen.

I don’t believe IU’s NIL has as much impact as many people think that it does have or will have. If a top program targets a particular player they can mobilize impressive NIL deals. Flagg is upward of $2 million I believe.
I am not sure with McNeeley. Either UConn approximately matched IU’s NIL deal or no amount of money could convince him to play for Woodson rather than Hurley. Either way IU’s NIL couldn’t seal the deal.

Why play at Duke?
Why play at Indiana?
Maybe the problem isn’t the individual talent of the players we are bringing in, but why each individual player is coming here, and what they want out of coming to IU.
I don’t think everyone can mobilize NIL like the big basketball schools.
Player payroll matters, and each extra $500K-$1M could be a significant contributor. But it is true NIL only gets a coach in the door for a recruitment, they still have to close vs a few other schools. And of course they need to pick the right players. We waste our NIL, but you still want your program to have it.
McNeely decommitted and reopened his recruitment. He was done with IU/Woody, it wasn’t about NIL. He looked a bunch of schools and ended up with UConn.
Really? Most of the talking heads, podcasters and media types I listened to said we had the best roster, but still didn't pick us first. Think the reason is obvious.
Good point
I agree that you need to have it but my point is that it puts us (at best) effectively even with other programs and in these recent cases it did not even out recruitment since we lost. To have success against other top programs requires a lot more than NIL and it is not a crutch that raises up material weakness in other areas.
So..Dolson needs to pick the very best he can and the new coach needs steel in his spine because Hoosiers (fans and donors) grew up with basketball and they have strong opinions.
.
A guy like Flagg would never choose to play for Bigfoot, regardless of the NIL offer.
