REFUTED: Travis Hines: A look into the ISU BBall program and the Athletic Dept

Pollard wouldn't even approve Hoiberg's request for alternative jerseys. This is the kind of **** Hines should have focused on as Jeremy alluded too.
If I were Fred, and my salary was being trumpeted by my employer to be a top 10 public university salary-- when it fact it wasn't --- I'd be livid as hell.
But I'm not Fred. And I suppose Fred is more forgiving than I am.
Judoka sums it up perfectly and should end the thread. The entire problem is that the sources made sweeping claims and the supporting evidence for the claims were complete non-issues when we learned the very basic context.
By the way, did you know Fred wants his kids to starve? He denied them food, a source close to the family shared. That's right, once time he did not let them eat candy 20 minutes before dinner.
Fred also blames his wife for their financial struggles. When the family was discussing what house to buy in Chicago, he brought up that they still had to account for their unsold house in Ames. The house that SHE convinced him to buy. Fred's a jerk. He needs to stop nickel and diming his family.
I know this is old article... but are we really cutting corners on recruiting budget?

Hines has been refuted by every public source (almost double-digits) that has come forward. Fred put the hammer on Hines. He has been discredited and now is in a world of hurt. Lesson for Hines: Do not challenge The Mayor, he wins every time.

Yeah there's a pretty big gap between "Top 10 out of public schools nationally" and 7th out of 10 in the Big 12
Have there been allegations of cutting corners on recruiting budget? Recruiting budget is a small enough part of the overall budget -- and recruiting budget is not that different school to school. It doesn't tell us much.
Ever think that maybe it was a way he phrased it to say, "It never happened." I've use that phrase a lot of times with things that someone else claims happened, but I either don't remember it happening that way or don't remember it happening at all. It's a situation where someone is claiming something happened, so to be diplomatic and not call them a liar directly, you just say, I don't remember that happening.
I took it as a dig on the sources. Saying, "Hey, I remember all this specific stuff that was happening at that time. So me saying that I don't remember this happening, is me calling the source a liar, without calling him a liar."
Oh I know. I post that there to answer someone who questioned our recruiting and need to compete with other big boys.
Typically with tournaments the hotels are pre-selected by the tournament itself and the schools do not have a choice in where they are staying, they are assigned it. Also, every hotel is able to set their own rate that is contracted to the tournament, not the school, so some of the teams may have been paying $40 more per room per night than another school because of where they were assigned to stay, and there is nothing the school can do about it as ESPN/NCAA is paying the rooms tab for the contracted nights thru the travel allowance, which is based on the rate being charged.
Any extra days added are at whatever rate the hotel determines since it falls outside of the contracted rate/dates. If the room rate for the tournament was $200 per night, then the extra time they wanted could have been $300 (or more) per room for the extra 6 hours of time to stay in the room.
Edited to add: The NCAA tournament the highest seeded team in a location gets first pick of tournament selected hotel for the Big Dance, and then downwards from there. Other tournaments are usually you get what you get (with the good teams being taken care of first)
