I don't disagree with any of that but I question whether we're really capable of reinventing ourselves. God bless Chesney, but it's much more likely that he has a successful run and takes his talents to a place that cares a lot more about football. Not cares more than you, not cares more than me, not cares more than any poster on this fb board, but cares more as the alumni in totality.

Same thing is going to happen at Indiana. Cignetti will cash in someplace bigger and IU will go back to football irrelevance and Hoosiers will be OK with that, having enjoyed unexpected, significant yet fleeting success. The IU and Dook people I know absolutely feel that way. I don't know anyone from UNC, UK or KU but I'm guessing they'd be the same. You are who you are.
