The 6-foot-9 Kaufman is set to announce his commitment on on Friday at 6 p.m. ET on WJHI radio in Jeffersonville. Kaufman narrowed his decision to Indiana, Indiana State, North Carolina, Purdue and Virginia last month. We’ve had the opportunity to talk with Kaufman on several occasions this spring and summer, and one of the many great things about the young man is that he’ll give you a thoughtful answer.…

Indiana has defeated Rutgers by a combined score of 100 to 17 over the last three seasons. Coming off a win over former No. 8 Penn State, the Scarlet Knights should be an easy tune up for Michigan next week. Right?

With a new head coach, new personnel, and new schemes on both sides of the ball, this isn’t your father’s…
There were so many angles of improbability when it came to Indiana rallying from an eight point deficit with less than two minutes to go on Saturday against Penn State. Not the least of them was the fact that the game tying drive featured first career catches by not one but two Hoosier wide receivers. The signs were everywhere during fall camp that true freshman Javon Swinton would see the field in 2020. But few expected him to emerge with the game on the line against the No. 8 Nittany Lions. Quarterback Michael Penix struggled all afternoon to find a…

It is one of the oldest canards in college sports. “Nebraska and Penn State are football schools.” “Indiana is a basketball school.” “Rutgers is Rutgers.” Okay, I’m not sure where that last one came from. Maybe just some game week fun. But for far too long, the notion has existed that college athletic departments can only have a successful football or men’s basketball team — but not both. One only needs to take an intellectually honest stroll through the Big Ten to realize that schools like Michigan, Wisconsin, and Michigan State busted this myth years ago. And one only needs…
