He did spend over $130,000 dollars on new helmets that the players feel that they are the best and safest helmet on the market.No last names on jerseys. No beer sold in stadium. Outdated Adidas gear.

I know you like to be an internet shock jock...but there won't be names on the backs of jerseys, and I seriously doubt that has any impact on recruiting.No last names on jerseys. No beer sold in stadium. Outdated Adidas gear.

It’s ridiculous. Not only are we standing still while our competition blows by us, we might actually be going backwards.
Why can’t we just get with the times? This whole living in history thing hasn’t worked. And instead of adapting Glass thinks he’ll solve the problem by doubling down on what got us here. It’s truly baffling.
Like what, because it seems to me that we have done about everything that we could to improve the facilities. I get it that some will find the negative in everything and that is your right to have that opinion. Like others will see a positive in things that others don't and that is alright as well because we are all different. What I don't think is alright is when people who don't agree with you then it becomes personal and people think those others are wrong or stupid. We all want to win and that is everyone's goal but some don't care how you get there.It’s never going to change. IU refuses to do what other schools do in order to win. We aren’t trailblazers, we’re the idiot sitting in the corner talking to themselves and being laughed at by the big boys.

This is just one more piece. Other programs are paying more for facilities upgrades. We’re giving ours back to the school and building academic buildings. We also go cheap on coaches. This is just one more example.Lack of names on jerseys = other programs blowing us by? You are just looking for something to complain about.
I’m indifferent to having names on jerseys, but this is stemming from having a consistent branding across sports,which I am fine with
I think IU football is getting better but a long way to go to catch up with the OSU, PSU, UMs of the world. Names don't bother me and I don't drink, and its unfortunate that people won't come because they don't serve alcohol, but if you want to pack the stadium with less than stellar talent as compared to some of our conference foes, then alcohol should be a staple. Almost everyone else is going in that direction.No last names on jerseys. No beer sold in stadium. Outdated Adidas gear.

Only good/great coaching will bring the talent to start winning games. Names and alcohol are not relevant.No last names on jerseys. No beer sold in stadium. Outdated Adidas gear.

Then shouldn’t someone with a background in hiring good / great coaches have a say in who gets hired?Only good/great coaching will bring the talent to start winning games. Names and alcohol are not relevant.

Like who because none of those big name coaches would ever come to IU to coachThen shouldn’t someone with a background in hiring good / great coaches have a say in who gets hired?

The University has an endowment of over $2.5 billion (and growing). Why are they taking a chunk of the BTN money from the athletic department?How dare a university care about academics, what is the world coming to.
Not having names on the back of the jersey has really hurt Alabama, Notre Dame and PSU. Our facilities are just fine but some just won't ever be happy with Glass no matter what he does. He could spend more money on football than any other team in the big ten and they would still find something to find wrong. Facilities are not the reason we don't get recruits it is because we have no history in football. We need to fill the stadium and show recruits that the fans care about football but when the stadium is half empty it does not show that. It is funny that some say the athletic office does not care about football but to me the fans don't care about the program.Facilities are something to debate.
But complaining about names on jerseys is just irrational piling on, and completely undercuts any complaint you have about facilities. Boy who cried wolf
and hey have spent millions on the facilities as well. All you are looking at is football but they are renovating the golf coarse and building a new arena for wrestling and volleyball. In the last 10 years we have spent a lot on football and still have more to do with the locker room.The University has an endowment of over $2.5 billion (and growing).

Fans don’t show up because the program hasn’t won enough. They haven’t won enough because they don’t get good players. And a big reason they don’t get good players is because recruits, parents and coaches don’t think IU is fully committed to football. They’ve said so. More and better facilities would be a way to demonstrate that commitment, but far too many people don’t care.Not having names on the back of the jersey has really hurt Alabama, Notre Dame and PSU.

Maybe it is the fans that don't show up is the problem. To me the athletic department has done plenty to help the football program and spent a lot of money on upgrades.Fans don’t show up because the program hasn’t won enough.

So if you invest in athletics you don’t care about academics?How dare a university care about academics, what is the world coming to.
If it doesn’t matter then why do all the best teams have them? Teams like Alabama, Clemson, OSU, etc? Is it just a coincidence that they all have names? Small details often matter to recruits...even if they don’t matter to older fans.Facilities are something to debate.

Alabama has names on the jerseys
My bad but I doubt that is the difference between them getting a recruit or not.Yes Alabama does have names on their jerseys Scott. ND is living in the past too...I wouldn’t choose to model my current program after them.
Yet there the only school in the big ten without a football only facility. So i guess there not spending like the teams there going up againtMaybe it is the fans that don't show up is the problem.

I simply like names on jerseys to know who’s who. Seems silly to do that, I’m not for it at all, and I like Glass and think program and facilities are just fine. Just make it easy for fans to get to know the players!
For anyone who thinks kids don’t care about this. It’s about honoring their family and building their brand.
I agree. Even if this is no big deal to many, One of your goals is trying to make the game fan friendly. Easy recognition of players. And with the personnel turnover every year it is a must. You want to get fans in the seats. Names on jerseys helps. Knowing 90 players names by their numbers is pretty hard and for the person attending one or two games their lost. Didn't Coach Hep say something like, "You play for the name on the front but you are accountable for the name on the back" (to paraphrase).I simply like names on jerseys to know who’s who.

The no names on the jersey thing is dumb. There are 85 scholarship players! Every game is a dementia test.
