Indiana football has gone from underdog to powerhouse, and it’s got everyone talking. Coach Curt Cignetti refused to lower his standards, shaking up a program that many thought was stuck in the past. With quarterback Fernando Mendoza opening up about imposter syndrome and John Mellencamp cheering from the stands, this season feels different. The transfer portal, NIL deals, and a $60 million investment are changing the game for IU. But with all this momentum, some are asking: is the university’s focus on football coming at the expense of academics? What do you think—does this new era benefit everyone at IU? #Sports #Football #IndianaFootball
