I think it’s almost guaranteed. Purdue: Indianapolis/Detroit. ISU: Omaha/Detroit. Only Marquette could spoil that party.
T. J. Otzelberger leaves...Darian DeVries to Iowa State???

That's what they said about Sanderson and Hoiberg.
Those guards from PU would end up in the trauma care unit 😳
That’s what “they” said….The NBA was a well know dream if Hoibergs. I believe most knew if that opportunity arise he’d be gone?
I’m embarrassed to admit I have no clue who Sanderson is….🤷♂️
As a BigTen fan, honestly I’m just hoping Purdue even makes it to the Elite 8 this year instead of getting bounced by some double digit seed that I didn’t even know had a team prior to the tourney.
Regardless of what he says to appease the fan base……living in that sh!thole LAmes is no one’s dream job.
TJ would be insane not to leave a school outside of the B1G or SEC now. The disparity of pay will only become more massive as less and less schools like ISU will be able to afford top notch coaches. May be hard to see now, for some, but this transitional period where the Big 2 separate themselves further seemingly by the day will create huge power vacuums of the best coaches coming into our leagues. The other schools on the outside will further struggle to pay. It's hard when a school makes 35-75 million a year in total athletic revenue, in the future this will be much lower, as opposed to that only being 25% of the budget here. Good luck paying coaches enough in the future at places like ISU. People will disagree but it's already happening. ISU must get into one of the Big 2 conferences within the next 7 years...or else.
So yeah, TJ would be a fool not to leave for a better job relatively quickly.

Please...3.5 million will be chump change soon and you're assuming you all get another lowly network contract in 7 years to pay for that soon to be measly wage. Very soon, unless you guys move conferences, the athletic budget will dwarf. How will you guys pay for more raises?
I distinctly remember your own AD pleading to anyone who would listen about how schools like ISU would die in the new format of college athletics and ISU couldn't afford to continue at a competitive level. Once you all got that measly contract, all of a sudden, all the problems go away? I got news for you, enjoy these last few years because nobody is paying B12 teams anything more than this contract. You have 7 years or whatever it is to find a new home...good luck.
I think Illinois actually has a better chance to advance further than Purdue.
Their 5 out lineup is perfect for the tournament.
Cydkar, I feel bad for you all, I really do. I know it's too far in the future and you're likely in denial but, unfortunately, it's the way it will be. Laugh it off, like you all did when you were saved by that paltry media deal this go around. Who will save you next time?
Can't compete without money, especially a disparity of 50 million as opposed to 300 million yearly (that will only rise). We'll be able to pay TJ 10 million a year with raises. You sure 3.5 - 4.5 million maxed out in a decade will keep him around, especially when everything else at the school is crumbling? How can you afford 10-15 million annually to keep your football coach and basketball coach with a budget of 35-50 million yearly? Can we say budget cuts?

Based on Fran going nowhere. And Devries, like most coaches, striking when the iron is hot.
If anyone is going to have an 86 year old coach it will be Iowa.
So dumb. Toughest league in the country and beat the number 2 overall seed twice. What does it matter about their non con. Most metrics had them top 4-5 and they get basically 8? Ridiculous. Committee was terrible this year.
Agreed, non con schedule should be considered irrelevant at that point.
They're just blindly following rules that don't make sense.
