The Indiana Hoosiers are national champions after a perfect 16-0 season, and head coach Curt Cignetti—usually known for his stoic “death scowl”—showed a rare emotional side in celebration. But with Heisman winner Fernando Mendoza headed to the NFL, can Indiana stay on top? Thanks to Cignetti’s $11M per year contract extension and elite transfer portal additions, the answer is YES. ✅ Cignetti’s emotional reaction captured by his daughter and what it means. ✅ How Indiana replaces Mendoza with TCU transfer QB Josh Hoover and adds WR Nick Marsh & RB Turbo Richard. ✅ The historic contract extension that locks Cignetti in through 2033. ✅ President Pamela Whitten’s praise for Cignetti’s culture and stability. ✅ Why the Hoosiers are built to last as a national powerhouse.
