It would be nice with coaching changes at both schools if BSU and Butler could find their way back onto each others schedules. I can't remember the history of the rift there but it seems like someone said BSU officials offended Butler in some way years back. I'm sure those BSU officials have probably moved on, but if that was the case, Collier probably would still remember. Either way, getting a game with the Bulldogs, even if only in Hinkle, would be an upgrade for both school's non-conference schedules. You know our schedule wasn't much, but Butler played its share of non-conference dogs last year, too. A person who shall not be named was a cause. |

Yeah Ronny canceled the long standing series and then publicly stated "We are moving to a more nationally recognizable ( or maybe "relevant") schedule" That ship has sailed, if Butler adds back a former in-state rival, it'll probably be Evansville or Indiana State. |

I could very well be proven wrong, but I think Butler's best days are behind them in basketball.

Yes adding Evansville would be best an easy win & Lickliter is the coach.

Since we were discussing some IU players earlier in this thread: This off season isn't going real well for the Hoosiers.

There was a good story in IndyStar about that, and how they constantly play in the shallow end of the pool in the Big East and it finally caught up with them. Clearly they hit a grand slam getting Matta back, |

Maybe cardfan knows something we don't. After he posted that & I checked seeing no sign of a firing I visited the Evansville athletic web site he is listed as coach but has no email or phone number yet all the assistants do.

No I think had misread the article about the AD there resigning shortly after he gave Lickliter a vote of confidence. |

Herman is plugged into a deep and shadowy network that the rest of us can hardly imagine. |

Because he will probably get about $400 from Butler now and slide into Matta's spot in three years. That's just a guess on my part though. Butler might have a completely different plan. I saw on the Ohio board that Boals makes $700k. That's a big roll of the dice to make the move to Butler. |
