Indiana’s 38-3 Rose Bowl win over Alabama felt like a sea change in college football. In the age of the transfer portal and players being compensated, the sport’s former laughing stock completely dominated the 800-pound gorilla. Indiana’s coaches are still enjoying the enormity of that win. Head coach Curt Cignetti quipped “Roll Tide” when President Donald Trump read that 38-3 score at the White House this week.  Defensive coordinator Bryant Haines referred to comments by former Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson about IU’s defense as “adorable.” The trolling of Alabama has extended far and wide, including one former admirer who playfully…

IU basketball has landed a commitment from Maryland Eastern Shore transfer guard Justin Monden, according to a report by Sam Kayser.

Despite frustration with the lack of a consistent winner for years, IU men’s basketball fans are still showing up. Or perhaps better said, they’re at least still buying tickets. Indiana ranked sixth nationally in 2025-26 with 282,193 of total attendance.  That’s an average of 15,677 per game played at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall, which ranked No. 9 in the nation. It isn’t clear exactly how attendance is calculated, but based on IU’s own game-by-game reporting, it appears to measured by tickets sold rather than the actual people who came to the game.  Indiana reports sellouts (17,222) for all games when…

It’s interesting how quickly one particular narrative changed early in Curt Cignetti’s tenure at Indiana. In the beginning, many were asking how this guy thinks he can win in the Big Ten with a bunch of G6 transfers. And as the 2024 season unfolded, that quickly became, sure he’s winning, because he brought his whole team with him. Desperate to find holes in a program that has gone 27-2 over the last two seasons, the outside narrative is shifting yet again. Just one of the original 13 James Madison to Indiana transfers remain as Cignetti prepares for the 2026 campaign,…

It comes three years after he won the award, but IU basketball finally has another Indiana Mr. Basketball winner on the roster.

Burton won it in 2023 playing for Penn High School in Mishawaka.  He finished No. 20 all-time in scoring in Indiana with  2,273…
