There has been a bit of a learning curve. But it isn’t too much to handle for a Stanford graduate and IU Kelley School of Business enrollee. Defensive lineman Jovan Swann arrived at IU from Stanford this spring after spending four years in a 3 down linemen, 4 linebacker system. Now he is being asked to quickly acclimate to IU’s base 4-2-5 approach. While it might seem like more of a technicality, the nuances and details are everything at the power five level of college football. Add in an unusual offseason with limited organized team activities, and a new defensive…
In an ordinary year, the Indiana basketball schedule is finalized in August, with most of its components leaked out much earlier. We don’t need to tell you that 2020 is no ordinary year. And we probably don’t need to tell you that now well into October, there is still no IU basketball schedule. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a complete reset on the 2020-21 college basketball slate. Indiana games previously scheduled against NJIT, Nebraska-Omaha, and Robert Morris are unlikely to happen. Tightening budgets and a desire for less travel means that non-conference games are likely to have a much more…

If his lone goal was to start from day one, Jack Tuttle could have picked a more attractive transfer destination. After arriving in Bloomington in early 2019, the California product walked right into one of the better quarterback competitions in recent IU history. Of course as things turned out, Tuttle ended up No. 3 on the depth chart in 2019. After not playing as a freshman at Utah, and attempting only 11 passes for Indiana in 2019, it would have been easy for Tuttle to get frustrated and check out. But Tuttle also saw how quickly things can change in…

The first clue about Indiana’s 2020-21 schedule emerged on Wednesday morning. College basketball analyst Jon Rothstein reported the bracket for the Maui Invitational. “Sources: The bracket for the 2020 Maui Invitational in Asheville is set,” Rothstein wrote on Twitter. “North Carolina/UNLV Alabama/Stanford Texas/Davidson Indiana/Providence.” The Maui Invitational later released the entire bracket. Indiana will tip-off the event at 2:30 p.m. ET on Nov. 30. Depending on the outcome of their first round game, IU would face either Texas or Davidson next. Providence had a resume that looked similar to Indiana in 2019-20. The Friars finished with a 19-12 record, finishing…

College basketball and all winter sports appear to be on the same path as football and the other fall sports. The NCAA is targeting an extra year of eligibility for everyone on the winter sport rosters due to the unusual set of circumstances brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. Multiple national reports have indicated that the NCAA could formalize the ruling for winter athletes next week. “Winter sport Division I NCAA athletes should find out next week if they can get an extra year of eligibility, regardless of how many games they play this season,” Andy Katz wrote on Twitter.…
