Who would have thought that in 2026, the media would be talking about elite transfer portal players wanting to go to Indiana, of all places, to play football? Well, that is what is called the Curt Cignetti effect in Bloomington.
The Hoosiers' 2025 football season is not over yet as Indiana is set to face Oregon on Friday, January 9, at 7:30 p.m. in the Quarterfinal of the College Football Playoff. That doesn't seem to matter for Cignetti, though, as he is able to split his attention enough to work on the Hoosiers roster for next season.
