Hello Members,
I wanted to let people know that TJ and I will be moving some of our writing to the Sports Illustrated platform. It will not change much here as we will still link those articles in the forums. All of our in-depth previews, deep dives into opponents and paid recruiting content will stay where it is. Forums will not change, but hopefully we get some new members to join.
Here are the reasons for this:
1) It allows us a greater reach and grow the site more.
2) It keeps your costs down. I do not want to increase prices from where they are now especially when everyone else is looking for more money. SI will allow us another big revenue stream. It also gives us some more resources to use.
If it sucks and doesn't work (at least give it a chance) I'll re-evaluate.
This was put together fairly quickly and came together this week. I didn't want to share it until it was official. This is not a move like Rivals and On3. It's more of a collaboration where both sides can grow together.
If you have questions or concerns let me know.
Thanks,
Sammy
This is great, Sammy. Anything to expand your readership and expand the Huddle community. Great that you're able (allowed?) to link back to the Huddle. Not to mention raking in a few bucks.
@unclemark it was part of my deal. If we couldn’t, I would have not done it.

I appreciate the sentiment, but as we discussed when you re-launched Hoosier Huddle, you guys are too cheap. I can't imagine anyone complaining or dropping off if you got say $49/yr instead of $36... and this is coming from an absolute tightwad.
Sounds like a positive move. Anything to grow the brand and expand the reach will pay off in the long run.
When can we expect the Hoosier Huddle Swimsuit Edition?
If you have questions or concerns let me know.
Do you want to limit your premium community to IU fans or are Buckeyes (and other fans) welcome too?
