Right, with no moral or conscience pressures about this kind of move.
I don’t think my or your parents would have condoned it. But I’m with you, not actually put in that situation.
But it is still the me me me. I don’t think anyone condemns them now days, but for me it doesn’t seem right ,for everyone else on the team ,that wants to win that game. But it’s just a game in perspective.
Yes, this is a generational difference, from ours to the present. My parents instilled in me exactly what you are saying. Probably starting with my generation, we didn’t do a good enough job. To much me, me , me now.
So the show goes on, with or without first round draft pick. I’ll still watch if it’s a team I follow is playing. I’ll even attend the game if it’s in warm weather. I think most that follow teams will do the same. Sponsors know this. If the money is there, the show goes on.
Results of a revolving door of coaches, that has plagued indiana for years, don’t have the deep pockets at this point to hold onto the good ones. Amplified now by transfer portal.
While this may work, it gets to be a cat and mouse situation then. Now ,as the likeness situation evolves mor and more,it’s the University owes you everything and the player owes the university nothing. Ethical and moral issues aside.
Penciling in a game here and a game there every few years is fairly easy as compared to having to come up with a complete new schedule without a conference affiliation.
Me and everybody else knows Allen had this guy,Bell, hired after th 4th game of the season this year. Quick decision but not a hurry up hire. I think he was very well (vetted). While Bells delve into head coaching didn’t go very good, seems like he was on some pretty good staffs at some high profile programs. Maybe a sleeper for Allen to land. Hope so.
I’m not sure Indiana can write off anybody right now.
The quick work by Allen, hiring an OC, means the coaches can huddle and get a game plan for the offense. Talent cures a lot of what’s wrong with IU.
The weak QB play was compounded by the terrible offense line that they had to deal with this year. So first, linemen are priority, then set up an offense that fits who you have coming next year.
Hope the new guy has some offense wrinkles to bring out whatever offensive talent Indiana has left.
I’m sure that is the case. Allen couldn’t risk another season in which Penix gets all the practice reps. Secondly, it frees up a valuable scholarship . I will have to defer on the new OC. Not familiar with the man.
