Yes, the various Hot Dog athletic programs would be better suited in the Hoosier Heartland than the Hoosier. And if they can't be a dominant basketball school in the HCC they sure as heck wouldn't be in the Hoosier.
As for Mr. McCullough, yes he is a veteran coach. Who just suffered only his second ever losing season as a head coach (the 1st being in 1995!) in his first year with the Hot Dogs. That's a foreboding statistic.
Yeah, the Culver's might pan out, if they retain quality employees.
