our feelings are the same. My niece in an interview for a pharmacist job was asked, "why did you go to Butler instead of Purdue" ... she replied 'if I had gone to purdue my uncle would have never spoke to me again" .. true story. Yet the interview was in Bloomington so that may have been a difference in giving an answer like that. Peegs asked me after the forum moved from the Indy Star to change my user name. It was IH8PU.
I've been banned from Peegs for about 8 years now. Bunch of snowflakes over there.

Indiana Getting Pushed Out?

Army WAS ranked at the time they played them (not defending them at all mind you). But to your point, ND always seems to have a weakish schedule and why they likely won't ever join a conference unless they had to. I could see ND being middle of the pack in the B1G if they joined as an example...
ND started the season at TA&M. That's a helluva road trip.
They also play USC, Lville and FSU.

Memphis drops Uconn

Connecticut had some bad losses last year. I remember some 15-18 point losses I think to Seton Hall and Creighton. I remember a lot of gloating on this board about those losses. This year's UConn is not nearly as talented, but don't gloat too soon.
I'm not sure I would call it gloating. I think most are just pointing out Hurley is a complete ass and it's nice when he loses. I don't think anyone would be surprised to see them make another long run in the tournament come March. He's very good at his job, he's just a complete jerk while doing it.

Biden getting us into WW III before leaving office.

I don't know what that means. It's about the planes not getting shot down on the way in or out.

We do have the technology to defend against surface to air attacks.......on Air Force One. Military transport planes don't have those defensive capabilities.

A Stinger is a MANPADS. A shoulder fired missle. If you're flying into a air base that's completely surrounded, all it takes to bring down a transport is one local with a stinger. That's why you need to control the area around a base and have sit corridors in and out.

A stinger takes out a plane trying to resupply the base. We bomb the village where it came from. They start lobbing mortars at the base. Before long you have another war. There's are reasons the military doesn't have isolated bases in enemy territory. It's suicide.
Bob, this is where you are confused. We bomb the village it came from, but we also bomb government buildings, storage centers, and the like. This is the meaning of bombing the crap out of them.

Indiana Getting Pushed Out?

No matter what happens with us, I hope the committee is smart enough to bump IU out of the final 12 when it is announced.

This is very similar to 2020, when IU thought that they should have been in the BT Championship, and maybe the CFP back then, because they had a better record. Of course, this happened because OSU had to forfeit a game or two due to COVID issues with their team. The BT was smart enough to recognize this. Hopefully, the CFP is smart enough now to see that.

They lost the seton hall game when Clingan got hurt. The Creighton game…well Creighton actually hit shots and were on fire.

This UConn team seems to be different at this point as they don’t have a rim protector and their guards aren’t anywhere near what they were the last 2 years.

Mack Brown is out at North Carolina. Here are the top replacement candidates

Redacted from The Athletic:

Tulane head coach Jon Sumrall has had a terrific debut season at Tulane, and the Green Wave are 9-2 with legit Playoff hopes. He went 23-4 in two seasons revitalizing the program at Troy. The 42-year-old is the hottest name in the Group of 5 ranks and is well-regarded in coaching circles for his ability to connect with people and feel for the game.

Liberty head coach Jamey Chadwell has won big everywhere he’s been and runs an innovative, fun offense. At Coastal Carolina, he went 31-6 in his last three years before leaving for a bigger payday at Liberty. He led the Flames to the Fiesta Bowl in his first season and is 21-3 entering the regular-season finale of Year 2.

UNLV head coach Barry Odom has completely turned around the Rebels in less than two years. He’s 18-7 at a place that hadn’t won more than eight games in a season in 40 years.

Iowa State head coach Matt Campbell, still only 44, has gotten the Cyclones into Playoff consideration with a 9-2 record in his ninth season. Campbell has posted seven winning seasons in Ames, including a No. 9 finish in 2020

Marshall head coach Charles Huff was a respected assistant at Penn State, Alabama and Mississippi State before taking over the Thundering Herd. The 41-year-old from Maryland is 30-20 in four seasons and has Marshall 6-1 in the Sun Belt.

Memphis head coach Ryan Silverfield is in his fifth season leading the Tigers and has continued to elevate the program, going 19-5 the past two seasons. The 44-year-old Silverfield has coached at all levels, including stints in the NFL with the Vikings and Lions.

James Madison head coach Bob Chesney has gradually risen up the coaching ranks, from Assumption College to Holy Cross and now to the Dukes, who are 8-3 despite losing 13 players to Indiana when the Hoosiers hired away Curt Cignetti. James Madison blew out the Tar Heels in Chapel Hill, putting 70 up on UNC. The 47-year-old Chesney looks like he has a P4 job in his future, but it might not be this soon.

Indiana Getting Pushed Out?

Last at-large with Clemson the next at-large behind them. A win at 15 South Carolina for clemson or a Texas A&M win out could bump them. Of course they could move up with some upsets. Sure seems like the committee is setting themselves up to be bumped if more deserving teams prevail.
The team that should be worried is the B12. Tulane is ranked one spot behind their tied leader Arizona State. If Tulane wins and two of those B12 leaders lose ... there may not be any B12 teams in the playoffs based on the rules for the Top 5 seedings. The committee seemed to say when interviewed last night, there isn't much can happen for IU to be out of the top 10.

Memphis drops Uconn

Watching AL vs Houston the other night made me wonder why Mouhamed Dioubate did not play more against us? Dude played 28 minutes and had 16 R, just a monster game for the young sophomore. Had great D. Think prior to this game he was getting 7-9 minutes. Wondered if he has been injured? And is now ok?

Watching him, I was thinking, man that is the guy we need. He was beast mode all game.
Then I looked at his stats and saw he had been playing much.
Yeah. Not sure. He didn’t play much vs Illinois either. Is he just behind a few players in the rotation maybe?

Help with the math

I thin
First of all you need a breakdown of the expenses. I don’t believe that last year’s football expenses were really $89 million plus for a team that didn’t travel very far or often for great distances and no bowl. Purdue is hiding other expenses in that figure that are not football related.
That's total AD? If you scroll down you'll see an annual cost of $24.8 million for football.

The good ol days of “this is sportscenter” commercials…eisen, Stuart Scott, Charlie Steinbrenner, SVP, Linda cohen, Dan levy, hell even Keith olbermann was good, and there were others. They were all super creative with the highlights and hilarious. But now…it’s so bad, they talk about anything BUT sports analysis. Just political/race baiting, awful and click baiting rants/shouting.

Help with the math

Man! I had a whole thread typed out trying to do an evaluation on income and spend for the AD. Then I found this site:


I don't know what year this is, but it gives a pretty good breakdown. The Cliff notes for all AD expenditures are

$115,139,432 in revenue
$89,722,572 in expenses
$25,416,860 profit

Assuming this is prior to current TV contract ($90 million) and it uses the old contract ($60 Million) that would add another $30 million to the kitty. So you can say a total of $55.5 million.

The issues would be the recent judgement against NCAA schools for NIL compensation ($21 million annually, and that is a moving number) plus retroactive payments to 2016 totaling $160 million per school. I'd really like someone to confirm or deny my assumption here, because this is a HUGE pot of money. That $160 million, even divided up over 10 year payments, add another $16 million to annual costs.

There is also the additional expense of sending every team coast to coast. I have no idea how to calculate that for 600 plus student athletes, coaches, support staff and equipment, but I'll put a number of $3 million in additional travel costs.

Assuming Purdue ups the schollies to 105 for the FB team (now that the 85 limit has been abolished), that's an additional expense of $400K (not counting potenial NIL increases).

So a rough estimate would be somewhere in the range of an additional $40 million in costs (for at least 10 years for the retroactive payments NCAA decision) against $55 million in additional revenue, leading to a $10 million drop over current.

Does that all sound correct?

NIL is supposed to be coming from outside the school, not from it, so that wouldn't impact the AD budget (right?) If you buy out Walters that's $9 million, and assuming you are trying for a better coach and staff that leaves you with $6 million total to play with without going in the red. Does that all line up?

You don't think we have the technology to land aircraft in a hostile environment?

Ground access from where? Afg is surrounded by our enemies.
I don't know what that means. It's about the planes not getting shot down on the way in or out.

Adams came up with a big defensive stop at the end but flory should be credited as well for altering the pass/decision. He played well In bigs mins.

ESPN continues to show how unserious they are about college bball by having Karl Ravech on the call last night. He mentioned Dickinson being ejected like 87x and said how much they miss his “defensive presence ”…newsflash, he’s not very good on defense and had no impact to begin with. And KU was up 2 with and then down 2 without him.

Also, Ravech said Gillis was a transfer from Tulane 😑

And man is ESPN OBSESSED with Flagg. While he played well and had that crazy dunk over Flory and a nice left handed finish, all they did was replay ALL of his 13 points over and over. Then he turned it over AGAIN down the stretch. Kid will be very good and be the number 1 or 2 pick (Ace Bailey may be 1 depending on the teams need). But man ESPN was 🤤 anytime cooper took a breath.
