We always over-estimate the ability of our players

Coach Allen because doesn't he have a huge buyout? I am not sure what the current numbers are.

Success for CTA will be scheduling and beating pushovers for 3 or 4 wins and then catching a couple down teams in the B1G. This fan base is satisfied with 6 wins a year and we'll fall into that maybe half the time.

I’d gladly support hiring the entire WKU or Idaho staffs. Especially, the WKU staff, impressive group.

Hugh Freeze and his staff at Liberty would be fine, too.

A big factor not discussed enough here is that IU is also in the ultra competitive half of the Big Ten division, with OSU, Michigan and Penn State. We would be having a different discussion every year were IU in the weaker half. This situation needs to be rethought.
