Jeffrey Armstrong+FollowBloomington’s football shakeup: Cignetti’s wild first dayCurt Cignetti’s first day as IU’s football coach was nothing short of a culture shock. Imagine stepping into a program with faded banners, outdated offices, and a team that barely shows up for meetings. Cignetti didn’t hold back—he called out the “doom and gloom” vibe and set the tone with bold words and even bolder expectations. His now-legendary “Purdue sucks” remark at the basketball game made waves, but it was clear: he’s here to change everything. What do you think—can a coach’s attitude really turn a whole program around? #Sports #Football #IUFootball00Share
Jeffrey Armstrong+FollowIU football’s redshirt shakeup: What’s next?Big changes could be coming for IU football players’ eligibility. Right now, players who appear in four or fewer games can take a redshirt year, but there’s talk of scrapping that rule and letting everyone play five full seasons. That would mean some current Hoosier stars could stick around longer than expected. For 2025, no upperclassmen got a redshirt, but three veterans—Tyler Morris, Bryson Bonds, and Lee Beebe—could get extra time due to injuries. Freshmen like Baylor Wilkin and Matt Marek are set to return as redshirt freshmen. How do you feel about the potential for longer college football careers? #Sports #Football #IUFootball00Share

Amy Williams+FollowIU football closing in on 4-star WR Ja’Hyde BrownJa’Hyde Brown, one of the nation’s top 50 receivers for the class of 2027, looks to be leaning toward IU football for his college career. Brown, who just led Christian Academy in Louisville to a perfect season with 1,556 yards and 24 touchdowns, is a game-changer who could electrify the Hoosiers’ offense from the slot and on special teams. With powerhouse programs like Alabama and Kentucky also in the mix, landing Brown would be a huge win for IU. What do you think—could Brown be the spark IU needs for a breakout season? #Sports #Football #IUFootball00Share
Christopher Hughes+FollowWhy IU fans are buzzing about Sam LeavittIndiana football could be on the verge of landing another standout quarterback—Sam Leavitt, the Arizona State transfer who led the Sun Devils to a Big 12 title and a College Football Playoff spot. Even with a foot injury sidelining him, Leavitt’s strong arm and dual-threat skills have schools like Oregon, Miami, and LSU interested, but IU is right in the mix. With the Hoosiers’ recent success at QB, adding Leavitt could keep the momentum rolling. What do you think—would Leavitt be the missing piece for IU’s future? #Sports #Football #IUFootball00Share
Chad Williams+FollowFernando Mendoza nears IU football historyFernando Mendoza is on the verge of becoming just the fourth-ever Indiana Hoosier to earn unanimous All-American honors in football—a milestone that would put him alongside legends like Tevin Coleman, Vaughn Dunbar, and Anthony Thompson.

It’s a huge moment for the program and a testament to the talent coming out of Bloomington. What do you think this means for the future of IU football? #Sports #Football #IUFootball00Share
