2024 IUFB Season

[TheWatShot 13,530]

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.

How about the $500,000 boost to the staff pool that came with our 6th win? Goes into effect on Jan 1, 2025. Huge for the program and could keep a few guys from making the jump.

Thought I read that they could be getting additional boosts if they meet certain goals like making the playoff. Is that correct?

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.

“It’s simple. I win. Pay me.”

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.

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

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!
