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 Imagine stepping into a program with faded banners, outdated offices, and a team that barely shows up for meetings.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.

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
