Perfect summation of the IU mentality

[LowCut]

“I'll just say this about the Crossroads Classic ending: It was cool event, and I do think it was a positive thing for the state, the fans and the teams involved. It did restrict scheduling to a certain extent for everybody, Purdue included, but this was Indiana's doing, and you are Indianabecause of Indiana. Thinking you're bigger than Indiana is probably bad business. Just like building teams with these East Coast mercenaries while Purdue passed you by with Indiana players and Indiana-type players was bad business.

Thinking you're bigger than Indiana and thinking beyond the state that has made you what you are, and ending an event that was a good thing for the fans who've made you what you are, that just sounds like bad business to me.

Notre Dame, you want out? I get that. Your fans don't live here and you play in the ACC for most of your history you barely recruited Indiana. I get that.

But Indiana wanting out of this, that I don't get. It's great that you got that home-and-home adidas invitational with Kansas, but Kansas plays basketball games in November and the first week of December also.”

All decisions are based on money now. Nothing else matters.

So who's quote is that?

 

[cshartle123]

The IU mentality is the same as all college programs. They want to make as much money as possible. Purdue, Butler, and Notre Dame would do the same if they could, but Kansas wouldn’t return their phone call.

I’m guessing Painters mom?

 

[The Vid]

Maybe their sorry ass fans can show up for the games and stfu. It’s all IU every year, even when they suck.

 

[IUgradman]

IU fans account for the majority of the attendees at the event but the schools split the ticket revenue four ways evenly divided.

No wonder IU admin doesn’t want to keep this going. I’d rather watch IU vs KU anyway

You’re really using ticket revenue as an excuse? Give me a break. That’s a drop in the bucket.

I said it the other day, the CRC is not viable without Indiana playing. The other 3 schools don't support it. Indiana doesn't think they are bigger than the state, IU thinks that in this state they are bigger than PU, Butler, and ND...and when it comes to selling tickets in Indianapolis, they are. IU could schedule about anyone in that event and make more than the 25% of receipts they get after splitting with the other 3.

The east coast mercenary comment is BS too.

Those games are not out earning IU/Kansas on TV.

Kansas only returned IU’s call because they’re both Adidas schools.

 

[LowCut]

The point is, you could schedule better non-con games and still keep the CRC. Just reeks of arrogance from the IU admin. Keep making those flimsy ticket revenue excuses though.

Ms. Painter, your lardass son needs to create a bigger national brand. The CRC was big for Purdue but not for IU.

I will ask again since you either would not or could not answer it the first time.

Who made that quote?

As a fan of one of the other schools, I can understand why you would be upset that the welfare check is getting cut off.

Can’t Purdue carry the event? Create another one with teams on Purdue’s local/national level?

indiana State
Evansville
Ball state
Purdue

that way, Purdue can be the big pig in the pin

 

[cshartle123]

It’s not a drop in the bucket for Butler.

Is that what your son Matt said?

You can keep playing in it. Just invite a different in-state school. Ind state. Ball state. Evansville. Valpo. Party on. It’ll be awesome. Maybe you can fill up Southport gym.

Arrogance? You are overthinking it. IU has opportunities to make more money, so that’s what they are doing. It’s business. By the way not only does IU bring the most fans, they also have the best record in the series.

Yeah, from the Lafayette JC....so basically a Purdue centric blogger crying because Indiana doesn't find locking in a game against Butler (who isn't looking as good as an opponent as they did when this thing started) and Notre Dame are exciting games.

"Indiana is so arrogant..." No, not enough people give a rat's ass about Purdue so now they are going to lose a game in the state capitol every year that ends up on national TV. Indiana already replaced this game with a better opponent. Our coach is interested in playing UCLA as well. We get a Big East team in the Gavitt Games most years and an ACC team every year. Indiana can still play Butler and Notre Dame if it wants as well.

This is just Purdue whining because they can't support a game in Indy.

PUke, Butler and ND can’t cut it. IU carried that event from day one. PUke fans can’t and won’t accept that. Now go back and laugh, point, poke fun. Do what you guys do.

I don’t understand the Purdue butthurt over this. If you want to still play Butler/ND in alternating years, by all means go ahead. I’d be more open to including Kansas/UK/Louisville/UCLA and alternate playing those teams every other year. It’d bring more national attention to the event than ND and Butler

Notre Dame has plenty of fans in Indiana, just not terribly far south of Rochester if you're talking in US 31 terms.

Maybe IU would get more national attention if they made the NCAA tournament!

Irony

 

[Courtsensetwo]

Look, the CC is over. It was an IU event that was shared equally. IU is moving on to bigger events. Pu benefitted greatly from it over it’s run.

How about just saying “thank you” and moving along?

Ok that was fun. Now the PU mentality?
