Someone is sensitive.
No sure why u think it’s weakening. Archie has recruited the best in state players every recruiting class he’s had. For the first time ever we’re abt to have 3 straight Mr basketballs. 2020 was supposed to be a week class and he’s making it better than most thought. You guys just gotta shut up complaining all the time when your arguments aren’t even logical..
Owning aircraft has costs that are allocated proportionately to each program. Probably not much difference.
It’s the volume of aircraft use that has generated the high travel expenses. Chartering v. Ownership isn’t the issue.
Bloomington isn't less than a 2 hour drive to everywhere in the state. Have you ever even lived in Indiana? It's 3 hours to Chicago area and Fort Wayne. 3.5 hours to South Bend.
...well anywhere worth a shit isnt much more than 2 hours...
Two takeaways from your posts:
Only another anti-IU troll would like such a stupid and ignorant post.
It’s not weakening for either program. That’s a comment that isn’t based in reality.
The Foundation owned the planes but they’ve been gone for some time. They’ve had some fractional deals during that time for recruiting use, but all of the team travel is chartered. For it’s time, the G100 was a great way to go, because they could come home immediately after games. The President and University party used it extensively, too. But the expense of maintaining what they had, which was aging quickly, plus keeping crews on the payroll who needed training on outdated equipment, became prohibitive.
Nope...there is a discussion going on between tommycracker and others being optimistic hoping for top 40 team and 9 seed...
That’s a connection that’s truly paid off big time. (That’s sarcasm btw) When Brooks transferred to LaLum for his senior year, I thought that that wasn’t a good sign.
Connection or no connection, it's a place that's a) farther out than 2 hours from Bloomington; b) a place that has produced top talent. It's not its fault their (best) players end up not at IU.
That was the point, rent vs. ownership is not the issue. What does Crean have to do it?
You don't know what a double negative can be.
Crean likely used / abused the availability of aircraft more than Miller. He loved to be several places in one day or within a very short window. It’s very expensive to do that with aircraft.
Why you assume that?
Crean would hop to two or three locations in the same day. He loved the ability to do that.
How about in comparison to what football spends, with twice the number of coaches and nearly seven times the number of scholarship athletes. Glass could and should manage it better.
This is a basketball board not a football board.
