@hurryinghoosiers He didn’t hire Woody. That was forced on him. Everybody knows this. CDD was all Scott though… rough start but we’ll see.
Being an AD is more than just hires. He actually kept Cig at little old IU when all the big programs came calling. And for a school with a small 55K football stadium… our NIL is pretty darn good. As is our overall AD revenue.
I get some smaller sports could be better, I agree. But big picture we are the top of college sports right now. That isn’t a mixed bag.
Most people likely would say the AD's bag is about more than just the football hire.
@iugradman It's been 1 year with CDD, and everyone (well, maybe not everyone!) can see and would agree Dolson gathered the resources to build a much better roster in year 2, and added a GM along the way. I think it's totally fair to say the jury is out on CDD, but the only folks who can say he's not going to succeed at this point, are folks who have an agenda or predetermined mindset. Bear in mind, success at this juncture, may not be ultimate success we want for our program and that will be Dolson's job to figure out when to make that call and how to make that transition, but he's shown pretty good judgement and nerve in that dept in my opinion, when not many thought he'd move on from Tom Allen when he did and many thought we'd keep CMW around for another year with his cronies in place. Be prepared for a lot of frustration if you think Dolson has screwed up because he's bought himself a lot of latitude with the Admin by hiring CC.
Back to ticket prices, I saw a thread, I think on Reddit, that listed top prices and schools for college football. Some of them were insane. 400+ per game for cheapest tickets.

Dang. Right now IU is (per game):
Tier 1 $155
Tier 2 $132
Tier 3 $109
Tier 4 $78
Tier 5 $65
That's okay given how good we are. IMO, future increases need to slow down to very small amounts for a while.
@hurryinghoosiers I think we all have explained throughout this thread why that is "laughable". And you want to bring Moren into this? The coach who was on a 7 year run unmatched by any coach in program history? Yeah one bad year doesn't change a thing. c'mon now
I didn't bring up moren. Someone did previously. She had 2 mediocre seasons and a mass exodus of players
I know he's currently a sexual turnstile in prison right now, but you'll never convince me Sandusky wasn't involved somehow. Scum gonna scum.
Well, the sweetener on Penn States increased PSL fee, is a shower with the coach of their choice. (Adults Only.)
