IU defense shined vs Penn State, but offense failed to produce

Football is a team sport. It takes all three units – offense, defense, and special teams – and a successful plan to come out ahead with the clock reads 00:00. Though football is a team sport through and through, a weakness at quarterback can truly do a team in.

That, in part, is what we’re witnessing with the current Indiana football team. I have attended …

College Athletes Deserve To Be Paid

It wasn’t always my opinion, but, today, in the new world of college athletics, the athletes deserved to be paid.

If you would have asked me a few years ago if college athletes should be paid the answer would have been no, absolutely not. It didn’t seem ethical. It would be paying amateurs for something they choose to take part in.

Anyways, they already have …

The University of Notre Dame has made a command decision by accepting an invitation to become a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference beginning the 2013-14 school and athletic year.

Because it’s leaving before the required 27 month window that the Big East has asked of them, Notre Dame will owe …

Irish lose CB Lo Wood for season with achilles tear

The days of being in the shadows of Robert Blanton and Gary Gray are now over for cornerbacks Lorenzo “Lo” Wood (Apopka, FL/Apopka) and Bennett Jackson (Hazlet, NJ/Raritan). For Jackson, he will be getting his due time in the starting lineup, but Wood will now have to wait until the 2013 season.

Wood was all set to step into a starting role for Bob Diaco’s …

Video: IU Coach Kevin Wilson after first practice of 2012 season

The Indiana football team officially opened camp Thursday, as they prepare for year two under Kevin Wilson. The Hoosiers are building a football culture and are determined to improve on their 1-11 record from last season.

Everybody still around has bought in. Those that didn’t, are gone.

I expect a big jump from year one to year two, primarily because the players know what to …

The college football season is about a week away. Thank goodness. Big Ten coaches and player representatives from each school came together Thursday in Chicago for Big Ten Media Day.

Read what Indiana coach Kevin Wilson, who enters his second season, had to say. (Note: I took out everything pertaining to Penn State so that it’s all about the IU progam.)
