I think the answer to the Hoosier problem is to bring Bobby back.
He IS Indiana basketball.
A Chicago sports station said, Dan Dakich will be gone after this year, because of his loyalty to Bobby.
The faculty was so hell bent on getting away from someone with Bobby Knight ties.
And look what happened!

you people are missing it. I love when youngsters cry for freedom
of speech! Is yelling fire in a theatre FoS? Assembly hall is not public property. They can make the rules just like a theme park can set dress codes to avoid gang violence. Your home is also a place where FoS isn't safe. Kick me out for wearing a smiley face T and can I sue? No. Now, bad judgement call by the guard? Absolutely. But do you have FoS to do whatever you want in Assembly Hall? Absolutely not. Think about it...

All of you in Indiana unite and wear"Bring back Bobby t-shirts!" There is not enough jail space to have all of the fans arrested, small children should sport their T's also.

Next game everyone should wear a shirt that says "Bring Back Bobby" even if you do not agree it is to make a point that this should not have happened. It takes the masses in unison to make change and make a stand!!!

If Bobby Knight came back, would TT in a fury fire his son? I think so

First of all talking about punching someone in the face makes you look like a smuck.
Second of all if you were any of a true IN fan you would appreciate the shirt. Bobby Knight is IN basketball. My opinion is he won't come back to IU but I do believe the University needs to name the court after him. Bottom Line.

Timmy I really wish I had tickets to the game because I would love to wear a shirt and hopefully you saw me in it. (After the big warning you put out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Well Scott Drew is a bad candidate because he is highly overated and is coaching
in a conferance known for it's football, much like Kelvin Sampson. The fans won't
like Mark Few. Have you heard of painter's recruits for next year. No one has. They
suck. The best candidate for the job is Dan Dakich. He can coach for a long time.
He's a hoosier native. He played at I.U. He also coached ten years at Bowling Green
and did pretty well. How many bowling green coaches have gone into mackey arena
a beat purdue.

B. Knight may have pissed off too many people but he ran a clean program, much better than that schumck Kelvin Sampson.

He should have refused to take it off. If they threw him out, he'd have an enormous settlement to be earned from the university/law enforcement agency that did so. This kind of public speech has been long-protected by the courts.

Really? The government is running security at IU?

Hiring Sampson was bad enough, but how low can IU go? As an alumni and life-long IU fan, I am really disappointed.

You'd be arrested after your health was stabilized in a few weeks. That guy would maul you!

I must admit, i'm one of the people that is pushing for Scott Drew. He would be my 2nd choice behind Mark Few. I'm saddened to hear this about Drew. I read the article about Baylor in last week's SI. It was pretty informative. From the sounds of the article, Drew is the type of guy that IU could use. He's young, demands discipline, and can recruit anywhere in the world. As far as being outcoached, I've seen that for the past 6 years with the last two dill weeds that have been sitting on the bench. I guess with this new information, I will have to get back on my knees and change my prayer requests to include Mark Few and Matt Painter instead. Thanks for the info.

I bet the university loves this kind of publicity. NCAA violations and censoring a persons t-shirt. How is this offensive? Isnt it more offensive what has happened off the court with Sampson than a t-shirt? Would it be OK to wear a shirt that said bring back McCracken? That may be more offensive on a few levels. I'm sure the students will be all over this as well. How many students (and or people) will try and wear a shirt like this on Saturday night? Glad ESPN gameday will be there too.

I don't agree with the individual on the photo, buthe has every right to wear that shirt. Man sometimes it kills me when we apply simple logic to everyday situations.

Even if you wouldn't like to see KNight come back or you would I think everyone should either wear "Bring back Knight" or "Fire Sampson" shirts. I think the Bring Back Knight is more saying about bringing back the standards of the program and "look at what you did to us IU faculty" than rather saying acutally bring him back. What about VCU head coach or (For reaction pruposes) Pat Knight.

I would have left the shirt on, and made them arrest me in front of ever single person at that game. Arrest me for wearing a "Bring Bobby Back" t-shirt. Then I would have sued their asses so fast they wouldn't know what hit them. Honestly, offensive is the pictures of aborted fetuses protesters hold up in downtown Bloomington. A t-shirt with "Bring Bobby Back" is not offensive to anyone except the asshole who got us into this mess sitting at the end of the bench!
