You're an idiot if you don't think having a good football program is an important part of the AD's job.
Bobinski needs to go before Walters
- Thread starter TC4THREE
- Start date
But the Defense is as bad or worse than the offense.......Shouldn't Kane be fired as well, even though he is calling the vaunted CRW Defense the way that CRW is telling him to call..... It's a pretty messy situation to resolve.
In Wole's case, it's not an if........
I wasn’t aware that our president had undergone a gender change.
This one takes the cake for most insipid and uninformed post of the day…
That says a lot considering it's Wolkaren. Funny thing is I didn't even need to read what he posted to know it was idiotic so saved some brain cells
.Our president is a male… just shows how stupid your post is
No one cares about non-revenue sports except the players and their parents. Only a parent of a kid or coach would come here and say what you just said.
Our football program is not taking away from academics at all. We are one of few schools that don’t take money from academics and I don’t think anyone is advocating for it.
Yes their responsibility is to generate revenue and we are losing it with a bad program. It’s a business. Win games and you sell tickets. We are selling our selling cheap tickets many to opposing teams. Look at indiana they are making big bucks right now. Hiring a good coach pays dividends.
18, what's keeping Bobo from coming out and giving CRW a vote of confidence??? If we are going to give him a third year,let's get on with it and try to save our recruiting class and add some stability to this rough ride that the program on.
We share the same view of CRW's coaching abilities, but this point, it's Bobo that's allowing CRW walk the plank........
Yeah. At this point anything could happen.
Not a good sign to me when it’s not like this team is a few bad luck plays away from being 4–5 or something. It’s 1-8 and it’s earned that record with ineptitude. Ineptitude only solved by a coaching staff that can instill discipline and fundamentals.
I’d lean to the side that he’s gone if he can’t win 2 of the last 3.
I don’t want to be nasty about them keeping him but if they do keep him past this year it’s clear that there’s more to it than a business or even a football decision. Don’t think there are many football or business reasons to keep the guy around.
Make an exciting coaching hire you likely renew every single season ticket you sold out last year. That helps immensely IMO to justify paying a good coach $6-7mil to come save this beached ship of a program.
Totally agree. With the exception of BB & VB, the rest of our programs are going to hell. Especially the WBB. What a joke. Geralds was a legacy but had 0 big time D1 experience. Boy is that showing.
Actually, I'm advocating for taking money from academics to giving it to athletics.
I'm 100% all in on taking money from the billion $ endowment fund and providing resources to the athletic dept.
Probably none of that money is unrestricted. There are legal endowment agreements as to what donated money can be spent on. Especially if it is a big donation, which is usually what makes up these endowments. Like the John Q Smith Professorship in Computer Science.
With the huge amount of money athletics gets from TV and ticket sales there is no way money should flow from the academic side to the athletic side.
This is one of the reasons that NIL is such a disaster as currently regulated. Instead of using the tv money and other direct revenue to pay players, the NIL collectives attempt to fundraise from players he same pool of alumni that the university is seeking to support all of the other programs. I won’t stop contributing to my college in order to pay for football players.
There is no way that should even be legal for publicly funded universities although I think it may be through student activity fees.
This team makes John Shoop look good.
That's kinda what I have been thinking. By Bobo not publicly coming to CRW's rescue, and with the comments that he made during the Black&Gold interview, I think CRW is gone with only one win.
If we lose out, and get blown up by iu, there's no defensible reason MBob could give for retaining Walters. None.
This is almost guaranteed to happen (lose out and getting blown out by indinia). I fully expect indinia to put 80 on us and anything less should be embarrassing for them.
The existence of NIL seems all the more reason not to fund athletics through the academic endowment. That would be a disgrace, whether funds went directly to NIL or just to subsidize things athletic donors were otherwise going to pay for and free them up to give that money to NIL. It would just be an indirect way of funding the NIL, and if schools do this, the effect will be a catalyst on the cancerous growth of NIL.
IMHO donors should feel that their money has to be split between athletic donations and NIL, and this should rightfully upset them.

Which is why we need a football guy, preferably a Purdue Football guy, overseeing the entire football operation.
