[08] You Take the Wheel: Ask Us Anything

On this edition of Xs & Joes, Bob and Mike turn the topics over to the listeners. We gathered a bunch of questions in Substack and Discord, and they go deep on the answers.

Among the questions and topics discussed:

• Mike explains his scoring system for individual players
• Does Indiana need a full rebuild?
• Are IU fans delusional in the expectation that IU will ever achieve relevancy within the conference, let alone nationally?
• Who would be your ideal 6 players for IU to add to next year’s team?
• The widespread utilization of outside consulting groups/3-party vendors across college basketball
• What is your guys’ demeanor as you watch IU games?
• What happened to NIL being about repping local businesses or getting a portion of merch sales?
• Is Mike's expertise used professionally (reimbursement) by teams, leagues, coaches, ADs etc., etc. at either collegiate or professional level and in what way?
• What are the effects on IU, both negative and “positive,” with Purdue making a run to the Final Four for the first time in 44 years?
• In the top performing teams, are there any clear trends with regard to positional size leading to more wins?
• And … what is the greatest decade for rock and why is Mike wrong saying it's not the 70's?

And more.
