Osterman tweeted IU paid a record buyout for DeVries. I assume Dolson’s job is on the line. Insane
IU paid a record buyout for DeVries
- Thread starter edub72
- Start date
Mark Pope had his roster put together in 3 weeks and they are good this season. We have more NIL than Kentucky or equal. I expect the same from DeVries. No baby steps. The right coach builds a winner immediately. Kelsey at Louisville, Pope at Kentucky, Golden at Florida. We better be good next season
There’s a real chance the buyout could reach 6 million. This, and Woodson’s severance package is crazy money.
No chance. Cignetti has made it clear he’s here as long as Dolson and Pam are.
Cignetti at this point is a one year wonder. Let’s see if that success continues.
And they plan to give him 7 million in nil. This was really all we could get for all that money?
Indiana also is building toward having north of $7 million in NIL + revenue-sharing resources, per source.

He had the best season in IU football history. Cignetti is a GD winner. We will see if DD can sniff what Cig did.
Pretty sure others had a say in paying the buyout,,Dolson is going nowhere.
If Cignetti wins 7 games next year he’s still exceeding expectations.
I can't believe someone would complain about Cig because of his age.
Some of you will need a new handle when Devries takes us in the right direction year one. I've never heard such baby back bitch whining before.
Paying the buyout means Scott got either the guy or one of the top few he wanted. So that's fine.
I don't know if we'll win huge but I don't have much doubt we'll win and see a lot of good basketball.
Feels like a breath of fresh air already.
Bet we do well recruiting right from the jump. And it won't be somebody else's list it'll be recruiting with his own eyes.

He's an all-time IU wonder! He won 11 games in his first season.
Do you have any idea how awful this program has been? This is how long it took his predecessors to get to 11 career wins:
Tom Allen: 4 seasons
Kevin Wilson: 4 seasons
Bill Lynch: 3 seasons
Terry Hoepner: 10 wins total in his 2 seasons
Gerry DiNardo: 8 wins in his 3 seasons
Cam Cameron: 4 seasons
Bill Mallory: 4 seasons
Lee Corso: 5 seasons
Coach Cig could retire tomorrow and still be the best IU Coach ever.
You understand you need to hire a coach before you can see how they do at your school for three or four years, right?
Jesus. I'm sure Dolson wishes he could travel in his time machine just like the 'wait and see' athletic directors apparently travel.

JFC. Yeah. Everything is desperation around here. I thinking many here are just desperate to bitch and moan, because it is what you’re used to the last couple pathetic years
People are just gun shy because of the last two hires. It could work but people are just lets see if it works
that's where I'm at. Won't start making any decisions in my head until midway thru next season. I'm out in Vegas at a trade show and could only check in periodically today as the news broke quickly. Figured I'd let it sink in and then assess my thoughts later tonight. Current mood is somewhere between ambivalent and numbness.
of course, if we get rolled at home by 20+ to Indiana State in the first game next Nov, big red flag.
And let's all agree to never mention Brad Stevens' name on this site again. Ever. That shipped sailed and sunk at sea 10-15 yrs ago. He's not coming back to college bball. And I'm strangely ok with that. Perhaps he was never going to part the Red Sea and lead us out of the desert. Maybe it's best it never happened. I mean, think about it...if Brad had come to IU, and in 4 yrs we're still floundering and we have "Fire CBS threads" ....we'd have no choice but to end the program for good and blow up Assembly Hall, dusty banners and all,
We need to land 1-2 rim protector bigs in the portal. Woody's Montverde pipeline dried up quickly, he didn't land any HS recruit bigs, and with Ballo leaving Bloomington under police escort and MR possibly heading to the U....we have no real bigs lined up for next year's roster. Gotta land a couple in the portal. Not seat wamers.....10/7 type guy and solid 10-15 min/game backup.
And we have that money to spend…..in spades. We aren’t #13 nationally in athletic revenue for no reason. Fans are still thinking this is the IU of old: always on the cheap. That doesn’t apply anymore. Chump change.
