Big Forehead=Big Contract


IU's Tom Crean has finally been rewarded for the months of hard work he's put it...Crean just signed a contract extension that'll keep him around through 2018. No, I'm not kidding.

IU's decision makers clearly have never been anywhere but in the academic sector...If they have, they were fired from that job because of budget issues. They are looser with their purse strings than any entity I have ever heard of, seriously. If you have other examples of companies, organizations or any other group that spends money like IU, tell me!

I'm going to apply for a job at the IU athletic department

And you'll get a 50 year guaranteed offer w/ $750K severance.

Well IU is expecting sell-outs for all 8 home football games for the next ten years; who knows, they might even be out of the 'red' by 2019... if they aren't paying off any dismissed coaches from now until then!

I'm guessing state taxpayer dollars come into play early and often with these ASS CLOWNS.

captain, I too am helping to pay into that dreaded institution in the Southern half of our state...that was one of my first thoughts. I know, I know, boosters pay a bunch of it- but the fact that any tax payer money goes to that athletic department, with the decision-making ability that they have shown, makes me very, very sad.

Say what you will, Tom Crean is undefeated as the coach of the Hoosiers

Ooohhhh, wow, Ryan, you certainly told us. Tom Crean is also WINLESS too, by the way, but this posted blog and the comments that followed are neither a criticism of nor an attack on Tom Crean.

If you reread this blog, focus on the second paragraph. Then focus on the first four comments; maybe, just maybe, you might see the point. But then again, you can always tell an iu fan a mile away, but up close you can't tell an iu fan anything!
