My brother is an IU grad and I grew up following IU and what I can say is the money was always there, they just didn't have a coach with a blueprint. I always wondered what it would have been if Kalen DeBoer had been promoted instead of Tom Allen.

Off to the graveyard for Candle, should have stayed at Toledo until the next coaching cycle.
