"I grew up an IU fan, my family even had an IU room" Said the Delta HS product, "I'd be foolish not to think about coaching there. It is a dream job afterall...great facilities, amazing tradition and big talent that Purdue simply doesn't have the resources to keep on campus."A shocked and angered Morgan Burke reacted by saying, "I really didn't think this day would come, but with a tremendously successful program in the same state, it always is in the back of your mind."
No contract has been signed, but according to sources from Indianapolis to Martisnville, the contract is a formality. "If it's not Painter, it'll probably be Phil Jackson...The ball is in Greenspan's court right now" Said one Hoosier fan.
In related news, the NCAA has granted IU center, DJ White an additional year of eligibility citing hardship as the reason for giving such an exception. "I can't wait to put on the cream and crimson next year...We're going to raise another banner on IU's campus next season."
As the Blue Ribbon panel nears its decision on whom to hire, another bluechip-filled class signed and about everyone returning, the future appears very, very bright down in Bloomington.

what, no word on Kellen Lewis' Heisman campaign in 2008?
Ah, the first of April. I love the sound of idiots in the morning...
How can you waste your time on this drivel when Mitch Daniels has ordered a restructuring of the state's university system. Purdue will now be called IUPUWL.
I heard that...just awful news.
Nice work.
I find it so humorous that IU fans believe that any coach in America would drop everything to run their "elite" program. Why wouldn't a coach want to enter a program where the cupboard's bare with NCAA sanctions potentially looming?
that bluechip-filled class had better be a productive bunch because the cupboard just got barer (I don't think that's even a word, but just check the link).
Nearly all of Sanctions' guys will be gone in the next few weeks...I think IU may believe it will help lessen the pending blow from the NCAA.
We will see.
Would wiping yourself clean of Sampson's players actually lessen the potential punishment?
By that reasoning, any school taking those players could potentially share in the punishment.
I think IU's sanction fate is static and linked to institutional control not individuals.
Honestly, now, IU will be so decimated due to different factors, the NCAA can do whatever it wants to...IU is a few seasons away from competing regardless of what the folks in Indy decide.
I know this was an April Fools joke... but it looks like IU wanted to go up to Marquette and take Tom Crean. If I am Dominic James... I am extremely pissed

Ross, you said "wiping yourself."
Hoosier's to hire Crean...
