Aaron Taylor+FollowHow Mendoza and his mom are changing Indiana footballFernando Mendoza’s drive on the field comes straight from home—his mom’s fight with multiple sclerosis.

But what really stands out is how he’s using his platform: from charity burritos in Berkeley to raising funds for MS, Mendoza is all about giving back. If he wins the Heisman, he wants the trophy to stay in Bloomington, for the whole Hoosier community.

Jeffrey Armstrong+FollowIndiana locks in coaching dream teamIndiana football just made a power move—defensive coordinator Bryant Haines is staying put, teaming up with head coach Curt Cignetti for the long haul. While other top programs scramble to keep their coaches, the Hoosiers are locking down the duo that turned them from underdogs into the nation’s No. 1 seed.

With stability at the top, Indiana fans can actually relax and enjoy the playoff ride. What do you think—can this coaching combo bring home a national title? #Sports #Football #IndianaFootball00Share

Aaron Taylor+FollowIndiana’s Fernando Mendoza: Heisman finalist, team-first starFernando Mendoza just led Indiana football to its first perfect season and Big Ten title since 1967, but what really stands out is how he’s handled the Heisman spotlight. While other schools launch flashy campaigns, Mendoza stayed focused on his teammates and winning games, letting his play—and IU’s fans—do the talking. From five-touchdown games to clutch, game-winning drives, he’s racked up jaw-dropping stats, but always credits his “stars”—family, coaches, and teammates—for his success. Bloomington’s support has been electric, with organic chants and hashtags outshining any billboard.
