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? (Relevant videos below.)

And more.

The YouTube video is below, and you can listen to the audio wherever podcasts are available.
