What does IU need to make more money, a better football team. It would have been nice to get an AD with some experience who has made something of a football program. Seems a weak hire for a low price. You gotta spend money to make it and I don't think this guy is going to do much to help. What does this guy know about hiring a coach or anything to that effect. Not to mention if he is a lawyer its not like he has much experience running a business, as a lawyer I can disparage my profession. I don't see how bringing the FInal Four translates to running an athletic program I'm not down with this hire. What does IU need to make more money, a better football team.

I therefore support this and will watch carefully to see if this theory holds.<br>I wish him the best of luck I have long believed that a CEO type is more important in this job than athletic dept experience.

Sure, he doesn't have athletic department experience but he has had experience doing duties that ADs typically do. He knows how to organize sporting events and he knows how to get people into the stadium, which is obviously a bigger deal for football than basketball but still. And really, what does he have to do in regards to the basketball program? He has to just let Crean do his job, let him put a winner on the court and the rest will take care of itself. Everyone will clamor about a student section and all that but there is probably nothing anyone can do about that that wouldn't piss off the alumni and boosters. You know, the people that give lots money to the athletic department when they are happy and not a lot when they are pissed. All that said, I think its a good hire and we need to give this guy a chance before we all start ripping on him (something I know won't happen) Its not like he hasn't had any experience that is relevant to what an AD does.
