Now for a quick bit of background …
The Assembly Call was founded before the 2011-12 season. So much has happened in the time since.
Most importantly: The Hoosiers have won two Big Ten titles and made three Sweet 16s, and now Archie Miller is here to take us to the next level.
In addition:
- We’ve seen our audience grow into the thousands, with representation across the globe
- We’ve launched a successful student internship program with the IU Media School
- We’ve hosted IU legends like A.J. Guyton, Jordan Hulls, and Kirk Haston on the show
- 1450 The Sports Buzz in Jeffersonville began simulcasting our show on their airwaves
- CBS Sports 1430 in Indianapolis asked us to produce a weekly radio show about IU basketball
- We’ve published a book about the 2015-16 season
- We are now credentialed media at Indiana home games (beginning in the 2016-17 season)
And none of this would be possible without the support of our loyal, generous audience.
We love hosting the show and building this website into a burgeoning online museum of Indiana basketball history. And your financial support is what empowers us do it.
All revenue that we generate helps us:
- Cover the recurring costs of operating our website, email newsletter, live broadcasts, and podcast
- Pay our interns for their hard work and dedication
- Provide support for our interns’ special projects (Josh’s Ball Isn’t Life podcast and Michael’s The Hoosier Life podcast)
- Cover the costs of our annual trip to Bloomington for a game and meetup
- Invest in better equipment, resources, and training so we can deliver a better show
- Market our show to reach more IU fans and grow the Assembly Call community
- Pursue special projects like our book about the 2015-16 season
- Add fun little extras like prizes for Assembly Call Bingo
And then with whatever is left over we try to buy our wives and daughters something nice to thank them for putting up with our Indiana basketball labor of love. 😉
Here are the best ways you can support our efforts — we appreciate you even considering it.

3. Buy official Assembly Call gear
One of the biggest expenses we’ve incurred to date was the design of our logo — but it was absolutely money well spent. We love what it’s done for branding and identity, and it’s been so rewarding seeing so many people buying gear with the logo on it.
The most popular item is the official Assembly Call t-shirt, sold by our friends at Hoosier Proud.

The other most popular item is the limestone coaster:
