By now you have likely at least heard about California Senate Bill 206.  Commonly known as the Fair Pay to Play Act, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed the bill earlier this week. The law has generated substantial discussion in recent days, and for good reason.

The law takes effect on Jan. 1, 2023, with several twists and turns in the road likely along the way as it relates to the response by the NCAA and…

OG Anunoby was always known as a man of few words during his two year stint at Indiana. Whether he disliked talking to the press, was uncomfortable, or just amusing himself, Anunoby rarely gave lengthy answers. While that doesn’t appear to have changed significantly, Anunoby did perhaps reluctantly give interviews in connection with the Toronto Raptors media day. Below are two of the interviews, featuring more than six minutes of Q&A. Anunoby is averaging 6.4 points and 2.7 rebounds per game during his first two years in the league, playing an average of 20.1 minutes per contest. Earlier this year…

It helps to hear it from an outside, independent voice. Indiana’s players elected two guards as their captains for the 2019-20 season.  Senior Devonte Green and junior Al Durham each have two years of experience in head coach Archie Miller’s system. But the straw that stirs the drink that is this year’s Hoosier squad is likely going to be in the front court.  BTN’s Dave Revsine clearly saw that when preparing to speak with Miller prior to Wednesday’s Big Ten Media Day in Chicago: “One of things that stands out to me as I was thinking about what I wanted…

The number of years that you have been watching IU football likely has an impact on how you interpret Indiana’s close but not quite loss at Michigan State on Saturday. Hoosier fans young and old can look at an exciting young quarterback like Michael Penix and find some measure of optimism. But the more seasoned you are as a Hoosier fan, the more likely your skepticism outweighs your optimism by a healthy margin. Few have seen more Indiana football games than radio announcer Don Fischer, who started calling the team’s contests back in the 1970’s. Fischer is often in the…

For too long now the Jerome Hunter story hasn’t been about basketball. For an athlete, an injury involves frustration, lonely hours rehabbing, fear and uncertainty. The Jerome Hunter story over the last year hasn’t been about an injury either. Instead, Hunter has had to navigate an undisclosed medical condition involving his lower legs. An injury at least has some definition around it.  The recovery timeline is generally known, and there is a history of others before you fully recovering and continuing their careers. Hunter hasn’t had a lot of known variables over the last year, and when you talk to…
