Since we're in an election cycle, it bears repeating, yet again, that then Assistant AG Angela Povaliatis was the prosecutor for all of Nassar's state charges. None of the candidates attempting to take credit for this work themselves or through endorsements that claim they were involved, had anything at all to do with stopping Larry. Y'all politicians are welcome to show up and help when we're doing legislative work next year, but stop using this case as your political stump speech. Do the work and *then* you can take credit.

If the players aren’t worth more than coaches, then don’t pay them more. You don’t even have to pay them at all. But the market is telling us how much they’re worth. All the complaining just looks like people upset with athletes being able to access their real value.
"I'm gonna say this, I probably shouldn't: nine of my players make more than my assistants. And the other three make more than all my staff, and we are not one of the highest payers..."

Went to Barnes & Noble to get my copy today. Looking forward to diving in. Our 2YO granddaughter — who knows “IU” and is learning “Cignetti” — is staying with us for a few days, so it’ll have to be after bedtime. @ZachOsterman

This book is going to be a terrific read. Original reporting, not just cut and paste from a year ago.
Not necessarily a new issue for Oregon, here's a snippet from a chapter on the Peach Bowl in "Unthinkable to Unstoppable." 👀

With news breaking again, almost ten years to the day that the Nassar case broke, of another MSU physician charged with sexual assault, this is a chance for MSU to set a new standard for how the University leadership will respond- especially the trustees. cbsnews.com/detroit/news/mic…

Would love to stop by and talk about the book this weekend. Just let us know.
Have a tailgate this weekend? @ZachOsterman and I were looking to share stories from "Unthinkable to Unstoppable," handout preorder cards and maybe even give away a few advance copies. Let one of us know where you will be before IU's game on Saturday and happy to stop by.

Not to brag, but our product has been foldable since 1828.

Hoosiers helping Hoosiers.
A former Indiana football star had fallen on hard times, then a chance encounter with a fellow Hoosier gave him a fresh start. @SteveHartmanCBS is On the Road.

It's just a half-hour, but a lot of work went into our Don Fischer documentary, which had a screening last night at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. What an honor to see it on the scoreboard. First on-air showing is at 6:30 p.m. today on WTIU. It'll be on YouTube on Sat. #iufb #iubb

Don Fischer will be there with family for the screening of the half-hour documentary Timeless at 7 p.m. Thursday at Assembly Hall. I like how it turned out. I'm excited. I just hope this does justice to the legendary subject. #iubb #iufb

There was an 8-track tape, too!
Replying to @markalesia
Excellent. Mark, do you remember when there was vinyl released of Don Fischer exciting cuts through broadcast, as he narrated? It was done for the 1976 National Championship. Question: have they done anything like that for the recent incredible football season?
