Who cares if his wife went to Iowa State? Dusty May's wife went to IU - so did Dusty - and that didn't matter. If he wants to win and become extremely rich while doing it, he will come to IU. If he wants job security, he will stay where he is.

Hope he chooses to stay

Why are so many people high on TJ? Why has he done that makes him many people’s top choice? I’ve watched and his personality, imo, wouldn’t be the best fit here?

Why because he has discipline, culture and a team that plays hard?

I was in Indiana for a week visiting about a month ago and forgot to get a breaded tenderloin. Pray for me. 😊

That's funny, I always prefer the "classic" smaller town college vs an urban one. Do you prefer to vacation in cities vs nature/more remote spots?

Nah… UCLA is stuck between Beverly Hills and the tourist trap of Westwood shopping. There’s nothing ‘college town’ about it. I used to ride my bike through the campus thinking, this is it?

It certainly doesn’t have the charm of btown. There’s a secret spot in the world and it’s between the Union and Ballentine Hall in September and October when the weather starts to change and classes are in full force. You know what I’m talking about if you’ve experienced this.

I distinguish college campus from college town. UCLA is the nicest college campus I’ve visited, despite the fact it is in a big city. Another example of this on a smaller scale is ND/South Bend. SB is not a college town but ND is definitely a classic college campus. I took grad classes at UW Madison in the summer, so my experience with Madison is admittedly not typical. The town itself was less busy than it is during the school year, I’m sure. As far as classic college towns are concerned, Ann Arbor, Princeton, and Charlottesville are among my favorites.

Another distinction I’m familiar with here in DC is G’town vs. GWU. If you’re on the G’town campus you wouldn’t know that you’re in a big city. Conversely, the GW campus mainly consists of a group of buildings in the middle of the city. If not for the signs on the buildings, you wouldn’t know that you’re on a “campus.”

Awesome. What were your impressions of IU’s campus?

Lol. The chemistry building? Nobody who spent time in there has fond memories.
