I believe Iowa gave him a big contract at some point and they just can't afford to pay him and someone else.gerb131;1312027 wrote:I for one am glad they are doing better and better. That win yesterday should have sealed Ferentz fate but somehow he keeps on coaching in Iowa City.

The conference is a trainwreck and I love every minute of it
I am not sure if winning the division because the best teams are ineligible and everyone else sucks adds to the depth of the conference. It would be an entirely different story if they had a great year and went 7-1 in the Big Ten. I just don't think winning the division at 4-4 has the same impact.gyea36;1315110 wrote:I actually think it is important for the big ten that Indiana wins the leaders division. If they do, they add to the resume/depth of the league as a whole going forward. Indiana has been so bad, but this would be a great recruiting tool for them and give them some momentum. Indiana is the team in the conference with the poorest resume historically, so this would give them some tangible success. Making the worst team better can only be good. And I don't see it happening under any other normal type of circumstances.
In all honesty, with the way the B1G is this year, it'd be a bit of poetic justiceMidstate01;1315195 wrote:It looks AWFUL for the bigten if IU wins the division. They lost what 5 straight at one point. And 2 of those to ball state and navy.
I disagree. I mean, sure, it would be great if they somehow figured out a way to get to the Rose Bowl. But they are probably going to get absolutely embarrassed by anyone they might meet up with in that game. So is it really going to help them get better to get destroyed on national TV in the Granddaddy of Them All?gyea36;1315776 wrote:I guess I'm thinking more down the line. I'm not sure if there's any other way for Indiana to climb out of the hole they are in, being so bad for so long. This seems like the best opportunity for the worst team in the big ten to get better, which would be better for the league going forward

Imaging the homefield advantage IU would have playing in Bloomington in a night game against OSU? :laugh: Seriously though the fact schools can't play in a conference title is stupidou1980;1312422 wrote:Imagine the home field advantage of IU playing in Indy for the Big Ten Championship....
