Indiana’s 9-0 Charge Under Curt Cignetti, Backed by $93 Million Extension

His “Success is a choice” ethos defines a program recalibrated by lessons from last season’s setbacks.

Overview

  • Indiana is 9-0 and ranked No. 2, entering today’s game against Penn State in its best start since 1967, according to ClutchPoints.
  • In October, the university secured Cignetti with an eight-year, $93 million deal that averages about $11.6 million annually and places him among the highest-paid FBS coaches.
  • Cignetti told FOX Sports he preferred to remain at Indiana and said the decision to stay was easy.
  • He cites 2024 defeats to Ohio State and Notre Dame in the College Football Playoff as motivation for this season’s approach.
  • Before kickoff, he told FOX’s Jenny Taft “Nothing concerns me,” a viral remark that mirrors his no-nonsense outlook.
