[397] IU Still a Blue Blood ... On the Balance Sheet, At Least

On this week's edition of Assembly Call Radio, we begin by honoring the women's basketball team for winning the WNIT. Then Andy and Ryan give their opening statements, and we delve into a potpourri of topics:• Our lingering thoughts on what IU fans can take from the Final Four and apply to our program• The comment Jalen Brunson made after the title game that got Jerod thinking about an important element of the program that Archie Miller and his staff need to keep nurturing ... and what AJ Moye's got to do with it• Where Indiana ranked in the Wall Street Journal's college basketball program value rankings, and what it means (Link: http://www.insidethehall.com/2018/04/02/study-iu-basketball-is-nations-second-most-valuable-program/)• What Fred Glass said about the athletic department's financial commitment to IU basketball -- and why it suggests that IU is sill a blue blood in everything but consistent on-court results (Link: https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/college/indiana/2018/04/04/iu-basketball-spending-our-program-doesnt-want-anything/485151002/)• Andy gives us a quick tour of the projected comings and goings of key players in the Big TenAnd then we close by answering your questions. There were several good ones submitted, so we saved over 10 minutes for this segment. Among the questions:• Do we think Romeo and Archie are a personality fit? (Does this even matter?)• Who is the best coach without a title?• Is it more important for IU to pick up a guard or a big man before next season?• What transfer/ early departure in recent years, or the past, do we think would have made the largest impact at IU had they stayed for their full 4 years?All of that and more on this week's edition of Assembly Call Radio.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
