Indiana is clearly scared of competition, as they have now cancelled the only Power-4 conference team on their schedule (outside of the Big Ten) for the next five years. That's right, the next five years, Indiana will play only cupcakes in their non-conference scheduling. You know which school is not shying away from tough non-conference opponents? Wisconsin. The Big Ten should be ashamed of Curt Cignetti's Hoosiers and reward the Badgers for sticking out two years of absolutely brutal schedules.
