That fan base eats their own...maybe more than most...but the people doing that may not be grads. What is obvious is just how important it is for them to have a team win, but perhaps if the last couple of decades Purdue had been similar, Purdue might be out with the pitchforks? They have a LOT of talent on the team this year...and that talent has some age, and experience, and could get it together at any time. If they do, would Woodson come out of retirement?
Not a top five venue. Even during bad years top venues don’t have that many empty seats during games. The size and passion of the fan base is quickly fading as well due to the lack of success.
If it’s one of the largest and best fanbases in the nation, why have the balconies been largely empty several games this year?
When Assembly Hall is rocking, I'd only put Phog Allen over it. And yes, Indiana has Top 5 NIL money thanks to their NIL collectives. This roster is getting paid about 6M at least. You'd be surprised as to how little most schools have.
Because people wanted change. And nothing speaks more than empty seats. I've seen those seats filled for a 10 win team.
A good coach would have this team in the Top half of the conference and in a position to battle for a conference title down the stretch. Woody is not that. And nothing is going to allow him to return next season.That fan base eats their own...maybe more than most...but the people doing that may not be grads.

IU hasn’t had a 10 win team since 2010, when it was just 8 years removed from a Final Four. Are you certain things haven’t changed with another 15 years having passed? Today’s IU students don’t have a lot of success in their memory banks.
I’ll bet if they got hot for a couple of weeks and say…got to the elite 8 it may not be that clear. They have a lot of talent that has under performed this year…that is true
I’ve been to Ass Hall for three Purdue games. Trust me, it’s behind Mackey too.
