You wonder how much $$$ he (and others) have spent over the years? I do not watch any pre-game show that has Bush and/or Urban on it.
It’s very hard to know. There are good reports we have top-5 NIL resources for basketball. Exactly where we rank and how we spend it we’ll never know. We call Cook and Simon and Cal calls Tyson.
To me it just means we are one of the big boys in NIL and we have an advantage over many schools. That’s great. Still have to get the right players and coach em up of course.
ND will never commit serious $$ to bball until they are back, regularly top 5-10, in the country in football, imo. That's what matters in South Bend.
I saw that. Can't imagine that goes anywhere. Opens up a pandoras box that would bankrupt a lot of programs.
I thought OP was just making a joke, a pretty good one at that. Wow.
I have 0 ties to ND, just my read. The average ND fan might care less about bball than the average IU fan did about football in Allen's last year. Heck, I bet most ND fans nationally can't even name their bball coach.
Won't argue with that.
I'm just saying football should always be #1. A healthy football program will trickle down to other programs in an athletic program.
It seems like Indiana people are finally starting to figure that out.
Hope so. It's a crime if our fb game isn't a sellout Saturday.
I'm not sure about now, but in the early 90s I moved to SB and bought season tix within 20 rows of the court. It blew me away that I could walk up to the ticket office and buy them, let alone be that close.
Mid 90s...used to go to most games with a number of my HS teammates. We'd get cheap bleacher seat tickets, and just walk down courtside. Ushers got to know us, looked the other way. Sat courtside for Allen Iverson and GTown, Ray Allen and UConn, amongst others.
We walked in to the GTown locker room after their game. One of my teammates was 6-8, so everyone must have just assumed he was a recruit or something. Talked to John Thompson for about 5 minutes outside their lockerroom.
Lots of great memories of those games.
I used to show up for University of Houston games a few minutes before tip off and walk down to courtside against ranked teams. Same for Rockets games before first title. Not many people there and no cheerleaders. Quiet as a funeral home.
Some pretty darn good opposing players in the Big East though at that time.It was a great place to watch mediocre basketball.
it's Digger, right?
It was the last time ND bball really meant anything. Two words...Kelly Tripucka. ND all american who looked like a '70s porn star, mustache, caucasian fro'.....
recruitments like this used to be so important. With the portal and NIL, I'll take a 21 yr old with 2-3 yrs under his belt who knows the college game, college life, and hungry to get better and get on a draft board, over an 18 yr who only plans to be on campus for 7-8 months and knows he's scooping up a quick million before he leaves. I wish college basketball hadn't gone in this direction, but it did, and I have adjusted my thinking on the matter....imho....
Just saw the Haralson recently started following Tom Loy on X. Loy is the 247 recruiting insider for ND.
91-92 and 92-93, ND was still an independent. I saw Ellis play his senior season and then part of the following season before I moved. MacLoed had 3 NBA guys on that 91-92 team and barely finished over .500.
Someone on another forum said he'd started following IU bball in the last couple days too. Maybe he's/they're getting a kick out of keeping everyone guessing.
Yeah, don’t know if it means anything. Just pointing it out. Sounds like no one really knows.
For sure, and I'm giving IUNorth a hard time with the mediocre basketball jab. I think I saw 5 or 6 top 10 teams come in there that season. I know they beat UCLA that year at home and that was a huge win. The Bruins were a top 5 team at the time.
When was Rivers there? I thought they had a year where they had a really good big man along with him and were top 10? No? A lot of brain cells ago.
The Notre Dame teams from Mid to late 90s were pretty mediocre. A few good players, but overall, nothing to write home about.
I broke down and looked up the schedule for the first season I was in the bend.

I think Rivers was mid 80s? I attended ND fball camp in summer 85 and saw him walking campus. Can't remember exactly when La-Fonz played there. He was a great player. Orlando Woolridge was my favorite.
And they had a huge streak going on ( UCLA). I remember watching that game with my uncle.
The streak breaking win was a fair bit earlier, I believe. 70s.
Damn lolI broke down and looked up the schedule for the first season I was in the bend.

just read on BTB that some last minute Carl Cook money may have made things interesting. Actually the wording is more positive than that, but who really knows for sure
I need to log off. I’ve been checking every 30 minutes for two days. Don’t know why, as we’ve reiterated, it’s not nearly as important with the portal these days. I wonder if he has three speeches ready to go.
Lol. Good rumor. Who knows.
For me it’s a couple things.
1) Jalen is really good. And I think he’ll fit in well with who we’ll likely have returning.
2) it’s a symbolic recruitment. Woody has been on him for a long time. He’s a high level kid. It’d be a bummer to miss out on him.
But in the end, it really isn’t nearly as big a deal as it would have been 5 years or more ago.
