They spent a lot on talent. There were major issues with coaching, discipline and culture that tanked IUs season. Doubt we will see similar culture and discipline issues going forward. What went on at IU is crazy considering Woodson was a Knight guy.
I think he is ours

There’s no one to follow at IU
Man, these kids can mess with us soooo easily. They know we watch every move they make.
If Lamar starts following the Easter Bunny on Snapchat, I'm calling him out.

Don’t want to hijack the thread but didn’t want to start another thread.
I really have not paid attention to the details of how the existing “NIL” works but it just seemed it was pay for play. So as far as the Mark Cuban thing goes I had a few questions:
-thought I read something a month or two ago that he was willing to commit huge dollars to IU for NIL? Since he is a part owner of an NBA team you are saying this is not allowed?
-do the Universities under the existing rules contribute to the funds used to get players? If so couldn’t Cuban just donate huge amounts to IU to fund “academics” thus freeing up IU money to contribute?
Again I don’t follow that closely so I don’t know.
Yes…he has done that already. He built the Cuban academic center. He will not give directly to collective.
Carl cook is worth 10.7 billion. Cook inc is worldwide medical device innovator. Headquarters in Bloomington. Cook hall was built by his dad. His CEO is in charge of Hoosier Connect. His name is Pete yonkman. Sorry as I want to answer these questions but don’t want to hijack your thread. Another big donor is the Simons.
Not until the House Settlement 22 Million stuff happens. NIL in and of itself can't come directly from the University but once the Revenue Sharing from the House Settlement becomes law and all that gets settled schools will have 22 mil a year to split between all the athletes in all their athletic programs that can come directly from the athletic fund.
No I don’t know what you mean man
Is he aware of Bob Knight having to tell IT that he doesn’t have to worry about the KKK if he plays well?
IU’s fanbase by and large never left the 70s and think their academics and tradition of being intentionally two decades behind the times at all times will lure in the big fish.
That post is insinuating Wilkerson isn’t smart enough to attend Harvard, I mean Indiana University.
Read their rivals board thread about Wilkerson. It’s nothing but Bloomington vs Lexington in terms of beauty and them waxing poetic about academics with their typical “being mediocre the ‘right way’” snobbery.
From google for what it's worth.
Indiana is widely considered to have a strong Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) program, especially in men's basketball. While exact figures are not publicly released, estimates suggest they are in the top 5 nationally. Some sources suggest Indiana's NIL collective is around $13.6 million, but other estimates place them in the $8-10 million range.
For the 2025-2026 season, Kentucky's men's basketball program is expected to have around $8-10 million in NIL funding. This comes from a combination of secured NIL funding and anticipated revenue sharing from the finalized NCAA settlement. While some SEC rivals may have slightly higher budgets, Kentucky is still positioned to be a major player in recruiting and the transfer portal.
I don't like the way that was worded but is what it is makes the NIL look smaller.

I’m gonna pray he comes here and leads Pope out of Mormonism straight to Regular Jesus Christ.
That way everybody’s happy. Except the Mormons. But they’ll be okay. They seem to have deep pockets.
For people who pray that could be a factor in their decision. They would never say it but that’s just how it is.

Couple of slight clarifications here. The revenue sharing cap is $20.5M ... not $22M. And schools won't just necessarily 'have' $20.5M to spend on athletes. It will be an item that they'll have to budget among all other athletics revenues and expenses. Many schools won't likely be able to spend that full amount on athletes ... particularly schools outside the SEC or B10.
Please post all the tweets of the grifters and con artists who some of ya’ll are slavishly devoted to.
Was always the expectation. Many on here hate to see what's right in front of them. Has been predicted to IU for weeks and we were just making a late run. Is what it is, on to the next.
