I know there are a ton of folks on this board that constantly nit pick about the money IU doesn't spend in regards to facilities and such. Well chomp on this!

""Good people are hard to find," Howard Griffith said. "I think this is one of those things that is just going to continue to build, continue to get better. Throughout the country, not everybody is doing it. I think you have to take your hat off to Indiana for putting the resources behind it. It's not cheap."

Cutting-edge research clearly matters at Indiana University, athletics included.

Griffith's kid went to IMG and he saw the changes they made within a few short months.

AND

And the changes there started with an Indiana administration willing not just to invest in football, but also innovation. Rhea said every request made for equipment and resources had received an affirmative response from IU.

"Nobody has told me 'no,' yet," Rhea said with a smile, "so I'm going to keep asking till somebody says, 'No.' If that never happens, fantastic. But so far the technology and tools we've needed have been given to us, and I'm appreciative of that."

Beyond referencing the new south end zone facility at Memorial Stadium coming on line this fall, Griffith lauded the money spent to not just hire Ballou and Rhea but to also provide their required tools.


Just thought I would put that out there because I am sick of the whiners and complainers about money spent on football. It seems as though IU and the administration are way ahead of the curve and invest wisely rather than pissing money away!

WELL DONE FRED!

They're sure playing up the whole S&C angle. It's emphasized on every player article and seemingly everything else I read about IUFB. I'm hoping it shows on the field, both in performance and in reduced injuries. We've got decent depth, so if they can stay healthy and perform at a high level when they're in the game, that has to bode well.

Do yourself a favor and listen to this interview with Jeff Rabjohns starting at about the 18:50 mark.

Your asking me to take some hack a$$ wanna be journalists word over Howard Griffith who played 11 years in the NFL? Really?
Ranjohn’s was right on the mark, factually, so the “hack a$$ wanna journalist” moniker is ignorant. But if you’re looking for another source, read the recent comments from Gerry DiNardo regarding facilities. He only coached 3 P5 programs and recently toured every Big 10 campus, so he’s pretty qualified to offer an opinion.

And when Gerry won a national championship at Colorado they had the worst facilities in the Big 8 yet recruited the best athletes in the country so you just killed your own argument. Who' s ignorant?

Yeah, I think this post doesn’t do you any favors.
