It's not a neutral site. It's a selling of a home game to earn some extra money that I'm sure their athletic department really needs. FedEx Field is going to be mostly Penn State fans and the IU AD is fully aware of that. Northwestern sold a home game to Ohio State about 20 years ago that was played in Cleveland. NU wore home uniforms, but that was it. It's not just a forfeit of the game, but a forfeit of any strength the program currently has. IU might as well send a white flag up the pole and tell all their fans and potential recruits that they're not going to take things seriously for a few more years. Well, as long as Bill Lynch is coaching, I suppose they're doing that anyway. That bowl bid they got under him in 07 might end up being a bad thing because they felt obligated to give a really bad coach a chance because of it. Haha you beat me to it. I was going to say we already ran up the white flag when we gave Lynch the fulltime job. Maybe I'm just weird but as an Indiana fan and alum this move really does not bother me at all. Now let me say this, I am accepting of the move as a one time endeavor. If Fred Glass does this again then I would not be so understanding. But given the current circumstances I have no problem dealing with it. Our athletic department DOES need the money and this is quite a nice little windfall. And 2010 will likely be a transition year for IU football anyways as I really don't see the team winning enough games this fall to save Lynch from getting canned. Heck maybe part of this money can go towards offering an actual competitive salary to more competent coaching candidate. A guy can dream can't he? ;) I really don't think our athletic department is sitting around scheming to sell games, it was just a "bolt from the blue" moment provided by Dan Snyder, IU gave him a $ figure they thought would scare him off and they were wrong. Oh well. One offshoot of this whole situation is how suddenly all the IU football message boards are flooded with outraged IU fans. It kind of amuses me seeing as how our fan base overall is pretty pathetic in regards to football and these people obviously don't care enough to actually head to Bloomington on Saturdays and keep a reasonable attendance level. Instead we have embarrassing attendance year after year, even Hep wasn't able to completely reverse that. So if people really want to discourage this type of thing they need to get their rear ends to the games and fill that stadium with Indiana fans every fall Saturday. Until then the outrage just rings hollow to me.
