2At what time is this press conference scheduled?
Bold! Nice call.If an announcement doesn't happen before, during or right after Brads press conference today consider me worried.
Ethically, it feels dodgy, but is it actually noncompliant? If it's not a violation of a specific NCAA rule, it's 100% okay.If that happens, I think Illinois has moved from the gray area to the charcoal gray area.
For those of you that think Irvin is coming to Champaign from Macomb to take Alexander's spot......that is not happening and really wasn't even considered.
This is false. 100%. Whether he is hired is another thing, but the “not being considered” is so far off base.
If that happens, I think Illinois has moved from the gray area to the charcoal gray area.
Now that's a pro call!It is more of a move from a "Whiter Shade of Pale" to "What Is and What Should Never Be".
Maybe off white or cream.It is more of a move from a "Whiter Shade of Pale" to "What Is and What Should Never Be".
Hey. This is a family forum.Maybe off white or cream.
Yes it is.
Yes it is.
I have no idea. Not sure why WIU does this though. What do they get out of it — “assurances that MIF will direct its second tier players there?Ethically, it feels dodgy, but is it actually noncompliant? If it's not a violation of a specific NCAA rule, it's 100% okay.
I kind of wondered about the same thing. Not saying it didn’t happen but yeah, what does WIU get, plus they have their own separate hiring process, HR, board of directors, etc. It just doesn’t compute for me how UI could dictate terms there.I have no idea.

With the recent direction of this thread I don’t even know what’s going on anymore lol.I don't think the OP was saying that that would actually happen
I would think that there is a decent amount of room between "UI dictates the terms there" and "UI/Brad/Irvin have no ability to try to influence WIU's hiring". I don't think anyone is suggesting that UI is moving chess pieces around (actually, someone may have actually used that analogy!), but it doesn't seem crazy to think there could at least be some conversations.I kind of wondered about the same thing.
