A lot can change along the three-hour drive from Bloomington to Fort Wayne. For IU football head coach Lee Corso, what changed in late 1982 was his understanding of his job status as head coach of the Hoosiers. Driving to Fort Wayne to visit elite prospect Rod Woodson, Corso apparently heard he had been fired while listening to the radio in his car along the way. Perhaps because he was still in disbelief of what he heard — and with no cell phones to confirm — Corso’s pursuit of Fort Wayne Snider H.S. phenom Rod Woodson did not immediately change.…

Myles Price didn’t get an invite to the NFL Combine, so his best chance to catch the attention of the NFL was to deliver a solid Pro Day in March. Catching balls from Fernando Mendoza, Price checked that box, and he just kept turning in solid performances. He wasn’t drafted in April, but Price signed with the Minnesota Vikings right after the draft.  From rookie mini-camp, to training camp, to the preseason, Price just kept turning heads. Price flashed in Minnesota’s first exhibition against Houston, scoring the Vikings lone receiving TD on a 3-yard pass. His other catch of the…

If YouTube TV is your streaming platform of choice, your ability to watch IU football this fall is in jeopardy. YouTube TV and Fox are locked in a carriage dispute that could leave subscribers to the streaming platform unable to watch Week 1 of the college football season this weekend. The sides have until 5 p.m. ET on Wednesday to reach a deal. If an agreement is not reached, YouTube TV subscribers will lose access to Fox channels, including the Fox broadcast network, FS1 and Big Ten Network. Indiana’s season opening game against Old Dominion is on FS1.  Their week…

After weeks of beating up on each other, IU football will enter its 2025 season opener relatively healthy. The Hoosiers weren’t as fortunate coming out of the spring, when anticipated starter at slot receiver Tyler Morris was lost for the season. And there were questions going into fall camp, especially surrounding 2024 starting guard Drew Evans, who had an Achilles injury last November. But just days from the start of the 2025 campaign, second-year head coach Curt Cignetti says his squad is in a good place health-wise. “I feel really good about the health of our team right now going…

The tip time and television designation for the first high profile game of the Darian DeVries era is set. Indiana will face Marquette at 1 p.m. ET / Noon CT at the United Center in Chicago on Nov. 9. The game will be distributed to a national audience on ESPN. Marquette is one of four high major opponents on the 2025-26 Indiana schedule.  The Hoosiers will also play Kansas State, Louisville and Kentucky, along with 20 Big Ten games. Indiana is 8-2 all-time vs. Marquette. The last meeting came in 2018, when Indiana won 96-73 in Bloomington in what was…

The long awaited year two of the Curt Cignetti era is here. It’s game week as the Hoosiers get set to face Old Dominion Saturday at 2:30 p.m. ET (FS1) at Memorial Stadium in Bloomington. The Monarchs are likely going to pose the biggest threat during the nonconference portion of Indiana’s 2025 schedule.  The Sun Belt Conference squad opened the 2024 season with a near upset of South Carolina on the road.  ODU lost that one by four, 23-19.  We’ll have more on the Monarchs in our primer and prediction feature later in the week. So what’s the outlook for…

The Daily Hoosier spent the week in Puerto Rico in connection with IU basketball’s summer tour, and had several opportunities to see the team in action.  Since nothing was televised or streamed, we are going to go player-by-player to share our thoughts on what we saw, and what to expect from Indiana’s 2025-26 roster. Next up is fifth-year forward Tucker DeVries, who transferred to Indiana from West Virginia during the offseason. BY THE NUMBERS MPG – 27.7 PPG – 10.7 FG% – 28.6% 3FG% – 22.2% FT% – 80% RPG – 6.3 APG – 4.0 TOPG – 2.0 SPG -…

On Sunday, former IU baseball pitcher McCade Brown became the fourth Hoosier to make his Major League Baseball debut in 2025. The 6-foot-6 righthander was the starter for Colorado against the Pirates in Pittsburgh. The Rockies selected Brown’s contract from Double-A Hartford ahead of his scheduled start . Brown, 25, a third-round pick in 2021 from Indiana, was 4-2 with a 2.47 ERA in 20 combined starts at High-A Spokane and Hartford. He started throwing well this year after a lengthy comeback from Tommy John right elbow surgery in 2023. The 25-year-old right-hander bypassed the Triple-A level as the Rockies…

For years Indiana has had conversations with Merchants Bank about a deal that would put their branding on the field at Memorial Stadium. But more often than not, the IU football program hasn’t been the right business partner. That hit home when IU AD Scott Dolson ran into Merchants Bank Chairman and CEO Michael Petrie at an IU basketball game in New York a couple years ago. The directive from Petrie was clear. “We’ve talked about that (renaming the field), but I want to be part of a winning program,” Dolson said was Petrie’s message at the time. Since Indiana’s…

The transfer portal giveth and taketh, and this fall five players who have played quarterback for Indiana will be on  FBS rosters beyond Bloomington. Here’s a quick look at them and their outlooks for the 2025 campaign. Dexter Williams will be the starting quarterback for Kennesaw State in week two when they travel to Indiana to face the Hoosiers.  He won the job at the Owls’ fall camp.  Williams made five appearances in 2024 for Georgia Southern and finished the season 19-for-30 and 248 yards and three passing touchdowns.  He also finished with 45 rushing yards and a rushing TD.…
