Indiana University basketball hurrying hoosiers
Post# of 63695
From Wednesday night until Friday night ,
this was the charter flight schedule of Indiana University coach Tom Crean:
Bloomington to Chicago to Atlanta to New York to Washington, D.C.,
to Milwaukee to St. Louis to Dallas.
That fast pace helps explain, in part, why IU's recruiting expenses for men's basketball were by far the highest in the Big Ten for 2013-14, the latest figures available. The Hoosiers spent $673,708. (The school said its itemized recruiting expense report, which lists $716,888 in expenses, included charges that shouldn't have been attributed to recruiting.)
That's well ahead of the next-closest team, Illinois ($431,327). IU spent more than three times as much as Purdue ($197,208) and more than 10 times as much as Wisconsin ($62,082).
And the Badgers made it to last season's national championship game.
IU's spending would have put it first in the nation in a list compiled for the previous year, well ahead of Louisville ($542,299), which spent the most.
