With am alum like Mark Cuban, I'm surprised the money for football is
just now starting to flow at IU.

They spent a LOT of money on football specific facilities under Tom Allen and have had a really nice NIL collective with Cuban and the Cook family.
Their football facilities were way better than VTs when I visited 6 years ago.

They promoted their version of the head of the Hokie Club to AD, and hired a new head of fundraising. So basically they have two big fundraisers now. They developed their strategic vision for a few years, and then hired Cignetti. It was a well-laid plan, and they are now reaping the benefits.

Under Allen.
When they hired Cignetti, everything was ready (facilities, NIL) for a great coach to utilize to grow.
Their football only facilities were way better than VTs 6-7 years ago.

sounding the alarm here, but went on deaf ears. The VT "we didn't know" BS. VT is such a JOKE. I can't even defend us anymore. IIWII
