For clarification, is that the interim HC or the permanent one?

There was at least enough interest that IU got a visit on June 13th according to the 247 link.

Using the win probabilities on ESPN, IU has a better than 50% chance (51.6%) of going undefeated this season. In 4 of the 6 games, they give IU a 94.5% or better chance of winning. The lower two are 86.2% at Maryland and 71.3% at PSU.

This is IU's highest ranking in the AP poll ever. Are those 3 1st place votes a first as well? https://apnews.com/live/top-25-college-football-poll-10-12-2025?utm_source=copy&utm_medium=share Oregon got hammered in the polls. They dropped 5 and 7 spots in the AP and coaches polls, respectively. Even though they put them at #3, that still feels like a shot at IU. Or maybe it was more of a knock against PSU.

That looks like a mistake on ESPN's part. Shocker, I know. Probably a copy/paste that didn't get edited. Here's a screenshot from the AP itself, showing they got 0 1st place votes: NCAA College Football Rankings: AP Top 25 Football Poll | AP News

IU goes 5-0 in the quad meet at USC. The women were 3-0 with a close win over USC and 2 dominant wins. Freshman Liberty Clark continues to impress. The men absolutely dominated the meet (2-0), winning almost every event and going 1-2 in multiple relays. https://swimswam.com/indiana-has-strong-performance-on-day-one-of-usc-invite/ https://swimswam.com/zalan-sarkany-sets-pool-record-with-1429-87-in-the-1650-indiana-wins-usc-invite/

Oregon can't be very good. They lost to IU, after all.

He'd take a pay cut to go there? He already gets over $8M plus a yearly $1M retention bonus plus performance bonuses that he's hitting.

I can't wait to not watch that.

The swim team isn't hurting for NIL. It's thought they're a big spender by someone who would have an idea. Competing for the #1 recruit in 2027. They're up against Cal (home team, historically good team who finished #2 last season) and Texas (historically good, have Bob Bowman as the coach, defending champions, lots of money) so they might not get him but don't count out IU who has landed more elite distance and mid-distance swimmers recently. https://swimswam.com/1-ranked-luka-mijatovic-done-with-ncaa-recruiting-visits-just-has-one-hard-decision-to-make/ Edit: a little more on the recruitment. https://swimswam.com/analyzing-each-of-luka-mijatovics-potential-ncaa-landing-spots/

I heard he will stay through at least next season since he has a new recruit who he says will help them win it all. The recruit's name is Brad Powers (no relation to Chad Powers). Interestingly, Brad Powers looks like he's in his 40s and has a strong resemblance to Tom Brady.

There are also other ways to save on streaming services. T-Mobile pays for AppleTV+ and 1/2 of my Netflix subscription. I have the Disney/Hulu/HBO bundle you mentioned (now about $33/month). I get Peacock at $20/year with the Black Friday deal they have every year, and even if you miss that there are plenty of times were I see it on sale for $25/year. I subscribe to 247 which gets me access to premium peegs.com content also saving about $3/month on Paramount+ (the main reason I subscribe). In addition, some other things include streamer subscriptions to draw in customers. I think Walmart+ offers Paramount+. Some credit cards I think might also include subscriptions to various services. I believe other other major phone companies offer subscriptions as part of some of their plans, not just T-Mobile. I have seen some articles stating that some of the streaming companies are in talks to make more bundles, so I believe you are correct in saying that there will be more of those in the future.

It could be worse, they could be on B1G+ which is more expensive while also being vastly inferior to peacock. B1G+ might be the worst deal in streaming TV.

Who is Mr. Chuckles in the top left who just laughs and doesn't even speak until ~6 1/2 minutes into the video?

The men land a 2027 recruit. Right now he looks like a depth piece with some versatility, but with 2 more years of development has time to really improve before stepping on campus. https://swimswam.com/indiana-lands-first-mens-2027-commitment-from-ncsa-summer-champs-finalist-jackson-edwards/

IIRC, a few JMU fans said that when we hired Cignetti that he has a tendency to get conservative so the play calling in big games can be frustrating.

I wonder if Urban will be like he was last season if IU is in the CFP picture again, as they probably will be. For much of the season Urban was talking about how good and well coached IU was similar to this. Then at the end of the season totally changed his tune where they weren't good enough.

The women pick up a recruit: https://swimswam.com/summer-juniors-finalist-kate-fetters-staying-in-state-with-commitment-to-indiana-2027/ And another one flips: https://swimswam.com/philippine-national-jr-teamer-billie-blu-mondonedo-flips-commitment-from-indiana-to-arizona/ They have about the same times in the events they share, but Kate can also swim backstroke so maybe a bit more versatile.

I expect the opposing coaches know this. It's just the fans that are now realizing it. I don't see a downside to be talked about since it can help with recruiting.

Yep, they really like the way the offense looks.

The peegs guys watched a practice today. They say that Sisley should play a big part in the rotation. They also said the defense is still struggling other than Conerway. The defense struggled against graduate assistant coaches and walk-ons. Yikes. It wasn't specified exactly how they struggled but since the article was talking about trying to pressure the ball without fouling, probably that. They have a little more than a month to get it figured out.

It could be a sign that the athletic department isn't tuned in to the fanbase. They might really believe that it will sell out at these prices, like it probably would have 10+ years ago. They may not realize the damage the last 8 years have done, it particular the last 2, as far as enthusiasm and willingness to shell out a bunch of money for a meaningless game.
