I'm a little surprised Pedon didn't keep him around, but I guess the budget only allows 2 GAs.

Only 2 GAs on staff. He mentioned that he potentially had a position within the athletic department but that was just prior to Kyle being let go

Long time fans will probably remember Myron Litwiller from the late 60's-early 70's. He bridged the Jim Collie/"small college" era and the DI/Will Robinson era. As a 6'5 "power forward", he was a pretty tough dude playing those early D1 schedules under Coach Will. He played "small school" HS ball in Armington, down the road from Normal. RIP.

His son Jon played 2 years for us in early to mid 90's. RIP, Redbird.

Myron and Sarah are my next door neighbors. He was such a joy and always loved watching my kids play in the backyard. He will be missed.

Not a former Redbird, but didn’t want to start a new thread . . . I know I can honestly say I didn’t think Fred van Vleet would ever get a contract like this . . .

Today's Indianapolis Star has a story about the Top 10 Incoming Transfers in Indiana Unversity in the last 30 years (27 of them). Nick Zeisloft was picked #6.

"They have a need for shooting, and I can supply that," Zeisloft said at the time of committing to IU.

Oh, what IU fans would do these days for a sharpshooter like Zeisloft. Primarily a bench player, the son of an IU alum hit 128 3s over two seasons at a 43% clip.

Here are the top 10 IU basketball incoming transfers of the past 30 years

Over the past 30 years, IU has seen twice as many transfers go out than come in. While the grass isn't always greener, there are some success stories.

Well, IMHO, in no "real world" should anyone get that kind of dough to play any sports. World has gone off the graph!! Get off my lawn! :)

Yeah, but the owners shouldn't get to keep all the money either. Would be happy if salaries drop only after the results of ticket prices dropping in price.

If a college can get $50 m+ just because they happen to be in a conference that has a big TV contract (Big Howevermany) then the players who are actually the ones playing on TV deserve most of that.
