Indiana should be a top destination for transfer portal quarterbacks
When Indiana football enters the 2026 season, it’ll almost certainly do so without quarterback Fernando Mendoza. Mendoza, the 2025 Heisman Trophy winner, is projected as an early first round selection in this coming spring’s NFL Draft. He’s led the Hoosiers to the best regular season in program history and their first Big Ten championship in […]
Should Indiana men’s basketball add a midseason signing?
More and more college basketball programs are making midseason moves to strengthen rosters. Some of these signings look to be moves for the sake of adding depth. Others seem to be swings at players with real upside as starters. Either way, the practice has generated plenty of controversy around the sport, which has absorbed several […]
Indiana football: 2026 offseason transfer portal tracker
Indiana football will enter the offseason looking to reload through the transfer portal ahead of the 2025 season with a handful of positional needs. The Hoosiers still intend to build primarily through the high school route and this offseason could yield less movement than the first two under head coach Curt Cignetti, but there’s always […]
Indiana football transfer portal target: JMU RB Wayne Knight

There’s […]
Indiana fans express confidence in defense ahead of Rose Bowl, Alabama
When Indiana football’s defense takes the field for the Rose Bowl, it’ll be shorthanded. Stephen Daley, one of the Hoosiers’ top edge rushers this season, will be out with an injury suffered during the aftermath of the Big Ten Football Championship game win over Ohio State. He was one of Indiana’s most productive defenders on […]
Kalen DeBoer, Kane Wommack: Which former Indiana staff members are at Alabama?

But, after taking the Washington and Alabama jobs, […]

Racehorse named for Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza, the Heisman Trophy winner
Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza has been a lot of things this year. The Hoosiers’ leader on offense, the single-season touchdown pass record holder, the Big Ten Football Championship game MVP and the Heisman Trophy winner. Now he’s another: the namesake of a Bob Baffert horse. Mendoza, a yearling born from two Hall of Fame Thoroughbred […]

3 Takeaways from Darian DeVries’ first 11 games as Indiana’s head coach
Ten (or 11, in this case) games into a new head coach’s tenure is no time to rush to conclusive judgments about a coach or their strategies. Especially not in the case of somebody like Darian DeVries, who was tasked with a roster overhaul that would have been inconceivable pre-NIL and transfer portal. That doesn’t […]
No, it’s not time to worry about Indiana men’s basketball. Mostly.
It’s December. I cannot emphasize this enough: it is December. Year one. Darian DeVries has really just gotten started as Indiana’s head coach. Unlike his two predecessors, he didn’t have any strong returning talent to build around, he had to assemble his first roster entirely through the transfer portal. Which, very honestly, isn’t an all-you-can-eat […]
This is Darian DeVries’ basketball team, and nobody else’s
Indiana men’s basketball suffered arguably its most painful loss of the season this past Saturday, blowing a seven-point halftime lead to fall to a Kentucky team that’s had its own share of struggles throughout the season. As we reach the holiday break, head coach Darian DeVries’ first season has already seen its ups and downs. […]
