Gone are the days (for the most part) where kids grow up dreaming of playing at IU because that's all they've ever known and seen.

Back in the day, if you were from Indiana and a High School All-star, it was very important to beat Kentucky and sweep the series then come to IU and beat them once a year. That was one of highlights of most of the player's careers. Know it's just another game to these young kids. That's the problem with most of the players today.

I don't want them playing for IU, if they want to play for IU's rivals instead. I'll take someone who is a true Hoosier or bleeds crimson, and they don't have to be from Indiana to be a real Hoosier- ala Reggie Miller, Isiah Thomas, etc...

It just seems like over the last 10 years it has been rare to find a year when both teams were competitive on the national level at the same time. I'm not very dialed in to this any more - do kids in Indiana still see Kentucky as archrivals? Do you think kids in Indiana still think of IU and Kentucky as big rivals?
