Overview

• Cignetti said he has “100% commitment” to developing Indiana’s program, pushing back on questions about his future during an appearance on The Joel Klatt Show.
• His name has been linked by reports to the Penn State vacancy following James Franklin’s firing, though he emphasized focus on Indiana’s day-to-day work.
• Indiana is 6-0 with a No. 3 AP ranking after a road win at Oregon, and Cignetti told his team to “rip off the rearview mirror” as preparation turns to Michigan State.
• Cignetti described college football coverage as fractured by a “great divide” tied to TV networks and conference allegiances, which he believes fuels skepticism toward Indiana.
• Reporting says Indiana has offered an eight-year deal with planned facility upgrades and athlete-compensation support, which Cignetti framed more broadly as the resource level needed to contend.
