Message: [QUOTE="Xanadu, post: 5627277, member: 4884"] The tires were kicked on Cignetti. He was not interested. This was said and known back in 2023. Cig was only going to leave JMU for a Big Ten school with deep pockets. Indiana had a poor history, but was committed and had a massive alumni base that was becoming engaged. Just stop, Cuse will never have the money or resources to pull someone like Cig. Chesney and Fran were the two we could have gotten, and they were the two finalists we chose from. Cig was one of the hottest commodities in the coaching carousel. SU is a private school with a small alumni and donor base. Indiana is a massive state university with an enormous alumni and donor base - history does not matter when it comes to money and resources. No one cares that we won a national championship in 1959. We can't coulda, shoulda, woulda our way to more money. [/QUOTE]
