Reigning Champs Indiana May Duck Notre Dame
30 Jul
Summary
- Indiana Hoosiers might cancel their series with Notre Dame.
- The Hoosiers haven't won vs. a Power 4 since 2018.
- Cancellation fees are reportedly low in college football.
Indiana, the reigning college football national champions, is reportedly considering canceling its scheduled two-game football series against Notre Dame. The series was initially announced in 2021, but the Hoosiers' recent success and stated preference for playing less challenging opponents may lead to its termination.
Under head coach Curt Cignetti, Indiana has a history of avoiding Power 4 opponents in non-conference games. Their last victory against such a team was in 2018 against Virginia. The reported low cost of cancellation in today's market makes this scenario financially viable for the Hoosiers.
While Notre Dame often faces criticism for its schedule, Indiana's potential avoidance of a challenging series highlights a different approach. With other programs like USC and Texas also seeking to cancel games, Indiana's determination to prioritize easier matchups should not be underestimated.
