Indiana Hoosiers football coach Curt Cignetti has been rewarded for his team’s impressive 10-0 season with a new eight-year contract, averaging $8 million per year, as announced by university officials on Saturday. This contract, extending through 2032, also features a $1 million retention bonus, highlighting the university’s commitment to Cignetti’s leadership.
The announcement came during the Hoosiers’ second bye week, a time often used for reflection and strategy as the season progresses.
Ranked No. 5 in the nation, Indiana’s remarkable record marks the first instance of double-digit victories in the program’s history. The team’s standing in the College Football Playoff committee’s rankings positions them favorably for hosting a postseason game, a significant milestone for the Hoosiers.
Looking ahead, the Hoosiers are set to face No. 2 Ohio State next weekend. This matchup is particularly notable, as Indiana has not secured a victory at this venue since 1998, adding an extra layer of anticipation for fans and players alike.
