As soon as rumors started to swirl regarding assistant coach Bruiser Flint potentially leaving Indiana, many jumped to the same conclusion. It must relate back to that caught on camera moment involving Flint and head coach Archie Miller, right? One thing is certain about that intense conversation in West Lafayette back in February. People noticed. “I’m sure a lot of people have viewed it,” Flint said earlier this week on ESPN Louisville radio. https://twitter.com/NYeoman/status/1233199473939099651?s=20 With Indiana down big to Purdue, it seemed easy to extrapolate that the moment had significance. Perhaps there was a fracture in the relationship between the…

The seemingly inevitable has arrived in Bloomington. After more than five months without competition and nothing on the near-term horizon, the IU Athletics Department announced on Friday measures intended to mitigate the impact of lost revenue due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Of particular note, every employee in the department is subject to at least a two-week unpaid furlough between Oct. 1 and June 30. “Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, IU Athletics has not participated in an intercollegiate athletic event in five and a half months, which necessitated tough decisions regarding our staff,” AD Scott Dolson said in a release. “Throughout…
When we last heard from Big Ten Commissioner Kevin Warren, he indicated that playing fall sports would not be revisited.

At a time when nothing seems right, class of 2021 forward Trey Kaufman is still hoping for something that resembles the recruitment he envisioned. The 6-foot-8 Kaufman has consistently told The Daily Hoosier this spring and summer that he would like to take visits before making a college decision. Don’t expect that to change anytime soon. “For me personally corona (the COVID-19 pandemic) is definitely not going to speed up my timeline,” Kaufman said during a radio interview on 98.5 WJHI on Wednesday. Despite an abbreviated AAU season against lesser competition, Kaufman was able to show off much improved athleticism…
