Good choice.
Not a good choice if you are a Purdue athletics fan. Luckily, I root for the Hoosiers
Dumb Comment. I root for IU for football. IU athletic department has done everything right with Cignetti. IU basketball hasn’t been relevant in 25 years though. Not even Purdue’s biggest rival anymore. My son says at his high school that hardly anyone roots for IU. Most root for Purdue followed by Duke and Michigan State. Daniels built Purdue into what is now the 5th biggest brick and mortar college in the US. Can’t beat Daniels, but hope they find someone close.
First, academics, not sports comes first. This is Purdue, not some other B10 school. That said, under Daniels, Purdue built a strong football and basketball program. Brohm was Coach much of that time and took us to a B10 Championship game. Of course we know now successful basketball has been.
Purdue football benefitted greatly from playing in the B1G west. You had Brohm, and you lost Brohm. You have to spend to keep up in today’s major college athletics landscape. IU got major alignment between its football coaching staff, AD, and President, and went out and won a natty. Purdue football will probably finish at the bottom of the B1G again. It wouldn’t be surprising to see Painters program lose some of its luster soon if he doesn’t get with the times either. Ultimately, it doesn’t matter much, though, bc basketball revenue is not driving any of this. Invest in football or get left out of the eventual Super League. There really is no option C
IU supporters are so insufferable.
Okay, Murray
Mitch was the best thing to happen to Purdue University since John Purdue donated his land in 1869. I hope the search takes many years. Meanwhile, keep up the good leadership, Mitch!
