I would think that every win from here on out is lining the staffs’ pockets. I imagine a CFP berth would bring some massive bonuses. I’m sure all of Cig’s bonuses are outlined in the Osterman article from when he was hired. 

Depending on the next six games, there is potential for an annual bonus of $200,000 if Indiana makes a non-College Football Playoff bowl game and an additional $50,000 bonus if it wins the bowl game. If Indiana reaches the College Football Playoff, Cignetti will receive a $500,000 bonus for a first-round appearance, and the bonus would increase if the Hoosiers won additional rounds to up to $2,000,000 for a national championship victory. 

Cignetti could also receive bonuses depending on the total of Indiana’s Big Ten wins, its conference finish, and if he wins various national coach of the year awards at the conference and national level.

My IUFB predictions for 2024

• A winning season
• Offensive records will be broken
• Defense will have more than 30 sacks and at least 20 takeaways 
• Ranked and in the CFP discussion at one point during the season
• Bowl eligibility earned by November
• Multiple NFL draft picks

 

Just another example.

As somebody going to the game, I was really hoping this would get flexed to an evening game.  I get that noon is the prime slot, but still.

Dan Mullen angling for the IU job when Cigs leaves for Florida or FSU.

Troy Aikman to Joe Buck on Monday Night Football tonight:

”I’m looking forward to your Hoosiers; watching them play again. They’re 6-0. It’s gonna be a weekly thing. 6-0 Hoosiers? I mean, come on!”

Buck to Aikman: “You’ve become their biggest fan.”

Welcome to the family Troy Aikman!

Is this a serious post? Kid is a baller but he won't finish top 10. And winning the Heisman is in fact out of the realm of possibility.

Rot rohhhh

Brace yourselves...the outsider perspective is going to start to shift from "look at that, IU's football team is winning, isn't it cute?" to "Who do these guys think they are? Go back to the little kids' table where you belong!" I saw a pretty funny conversation with a Michigan fan who said he was rooting against IU for the first time this weekend because he didn't like how excited IU fans were getting. Good stuff. 

It’s going on everywhere…. Fans and a few upcoming, opposing teams, most recently, Nebraska are saying

(I paraphrase)…..

- IU’s good, but not that good….
- They haven’t played anyone yet and their schedule is soft….

-They haven’t played a team of our caliber yet….

-Cignetti won’t stay long at IU….

Blah, blah blah….on and on.

To me, Nebraska fans commenting on our schedule is comical. 

How many years did we have to tangle with Penn State, O$U and Michigan because of the BIG's divisional alignment, while the Cornshuckers took on the Purdues, the Northwesterns, the Minnesotas and the Illinoises in that soft-as-butter Western Division! 

And now they're calling us out because of our schedule. LOL!

They don't like the idea of programs bucking trends.

 

Nebraska fans want it to be 1996 all over again, so I get that logic.  But it's toxic

….same thing going on with Ohio State fan base… It’s like, they’re saying, “ Oh, that’s cute how IU suddenly thinks they’re good now. Wait till we get em in November!”

A bit of egg on my face, he's been beyond my expectations by a mile. Would love to eat crow on this by the end of the season.
