The Philadelphia Eagles agreed to terms with quarterback Nate Sudfeld on a one-year deal. Indiana’s all-time passing yards leader was scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent on Wednesday. Sudfeld appears to be on-track to serve as the backup to starter Carson Wentz, and that is a role his head coach in Philadelphia said he felt good about for the former IU star. “We’re very comfortable with Nate,” Head Coach Doug Pederson said at the NFL Scouting Combine last month. “He’s put himself in position to compete and possibly be the No. 2.” Sudfeld served as the No. 3 quarterback…

The college basketball world came to a screeching halt last week — just as we entered the most entertaining point of the season. Now we are left to look back and wonder what might have been as we wait nearly eight months for the 2020-21 campaign.

An entire country would have been analyzing the just released 2020 NCAA Tournament brackets, trying to figure out which No. 12 seed would pull the upset this time, and who the heck Prairie View A&M is. For Indiana fans, tonight would have been a small celebration. A realization that, after a four year wait, their beloved Hoosiers were back in the NCAA Tournament. How do we know? While any one bracketology is nothing more than a children’s show, or so we’ve heard, when you aggregate 90 of them you probably have a pretty good…
The bad news keeps coming if you were holding out hope that the NCAA might at least release the 2020 men’s and women’s tournament brackets on Selection Sunday.
