Indiana men’s basketball is already working with one of the best overall NIL budgets in the sport.
But there’s a solid chance that the next coach could have even more at their disposal in year one leading the program. Let me explain:

- Allen, coming off of multiple losing seasons in a row, probably wasn’t relied on to maximize additional funding.
