I feel sick to my stomach.
Below, read what was sent from the moderator of the Indiana State board:
I don't think it can be argued that Greg does more with less than any other Missouri Valley head coach. Despite having the second lowest basketball budget in the Missouri Valley behind Southern Illinois, Greg has ripped off a 79-54 record in four seasons (a 59.4% winning percentage) that is the best four year stretch since the late 70s when Larry Legend dominated the court.
We've talked about crowd funding before on Sycamore Pride and we've even contacted Ron Prettyman and John Sherman and nothing came of it. Well, when I was at the Alumni Association tailgate before the Indiana game, I spoke with Assistant Development Officer for Athletics Geoff Giauque. Geoff has some great ideas, but what impressed me the most was he actually asked for ideas. I explained to him that we had wanted to do a crowd funding project so there could be a tangible goal and benefit rather than just donating money and not knowing where it went.
I had mentioned to him that I had been told by several players that the home white jerseys felt like "sandpaper" and "flannel" and needed replaced. He then told me a story about how he was sitting on the baseline at a game last year and could see the remnants of "Kelly" on Manny Arop's jersey. So Manny was wearing the same jersey that Jake Kelly wore. Seriously. I then reached out to Greg and he told me that he did want to order new sets of both home and away jerseys and they ran $3k per set. So it's time to put our money where our mouths are. I'm looking for are 59 other Sycamore Pride members, alumni, students or fans of the program to join me and make a $100 donation to the Sycamore Athletic Foundation to Indiana State Men's Basketball.
I will be working with Geoff to keep me updated on how many people have donated so we can track our progress. If you are interested in being one of the 60 fine Sycamore supporters, please give Geoff Giauque a call at (812) 514-8451 letting him know you want to donate towards the Sycamore Pride crowdfunding project and he will get you taken care of.
Go Sycamores!

Seriously? Please tell me that's not real....and if it is, maybe it's time we just go independent.
