I wonder what Zander is hinting at with his tweet...
@zanderdiamont: All of the content and media coming out of IUFB has been amazing this year. It's almost like they've been given freedom to create...hmmm lol

To me that sounds like a shot at FCKW. That he restricted what the media pages could release and such. Idk that's just my two cents.

See this is what I was thinking that CTA is a little more free on what can be released to the media.

Bryant Fitzgerald Ruled Ineligible For 2017 Season

Indiana will be without a key newcomer this fall, and it's through no fault of his own.

IU on Saturday announced freshman defensive back Bryant Fitzgerald was ruled a final non-qualifier ineligible for the 2017 season by the NCAA Eligibility Center after the school's compliance department incorrectly advised him on eligibility requirements. The department appealed the decision to the NCAA twice, but was denied both times.

“Bryant Fitzgerald is a smart, outstanding young man who is academically prepared and capable of being very successful at IU,” IU Vice President and Director of Athletics Fred Glass said in a statement. “His ineligibility is not his fault. It is ours. On behalf of myself and everyone associated with IU Athletics, I personally apologize to Bryant and his family for our mistake. While it was an isolated and unintended one, it is no less devastating to Bryant, and I could not feel worse about it. The process leading to the mistake has been fixed and redundancies added, and we are very confident nothing like this will ever happen again. I am very disappointed in the NCAA for not granting our waiver request nor our appeal. Bryant should not have to bear the brunt of our mistake, and the NCAA could have, and should have, remedied that in the interest of this student’s well-being, who is in this situation though absolutely no fault of his own.”

Fitzgerald will not be allowed to play or practice this fall, but he will still be able to maintain his full scholarship and keep all student-athlete support.

The Avon (Ind.) High School product and former three-star recruit could still have four years of eligibility should he choose to redshirt this year.
