Don’t want to speculate but something tells me he left IU not on the best of terms.

Underperformed last season and opted not to take a 5th year and goes to a rival big 10 school to train…

Shubert announcing his move to China right after Brinegar left IU seems like it left Brinegar in the lurch.

They made their own bed. Anybody who didn’t know who Mark S was, that’s on them. After 40 years of always putting Mark first, it’s been so well-documented, that if you still believed in him, that’s on you.
