Another great game by Mullins.

God: Indiana fans, we're going to let you win a football national championship.
IU fans: Fantastic! What will it cost us?
God: Braylon Mullins vs. Dusty May for a national championship... in Indy.
I’m really failing to understand some on here saying May at FAU would refuse to come to IU, had Dolson been able to actually be the AD and get rid of Woodson at the appropriate time. Was that not the sentiment on the boards? Buckner and his people tied Dolson’s hands for a year and that’s why he went to Michigan.
I do think we have a legit shot at Mullens in this scenario.
@paterade The claim is that his family is too close to Bloomington, and he didn't want to expose them to the more unhinged segment of the IU fanbase. He knew he could land a great job elsewhere, and didn't want to risk that.
I have no idea if it's true, personally.
Woodson still being employed had nothing to do with it. He wasn't coming here with his family so close.@gros-louis This is certainly the info that I have. The people I heard it from, definitely would know. But the only variable that they can't, and really no one can verify...if IU had actually fired Woodson, and went "all in" on May... what would he have done? I'm pretty confident one of the reasons Woodson was retained was May said he wasn't interested. But its very possible he said that because we still had a coach at the time of the conversations.
We have no idea. If they had fired woodson and made a serious run with big money you cannot say 100% he would not have come.

I don’t think his family had anything to worry about if he won at IU the way he has at Michigan.
