One spot where Indiana is going to lose some experienced leadership after the 2019 season is on the interior of its offensive line. They are bringing in a veteran to help shore things up. Former Stanford guard Dylan Powell announced via Twitter that he is transferring to Indiana to pursue his MBA and join the football team. https://twitter.com/Dylan_Powell74/status/1203107610309869570?s=20 According to Taylor Lehman of Rivals, Powell has two years of eligibility remaining. The Missouri native was slated to be a starting guard at Stanford for the 2019 season, but a preseason injury cost Powell the entire season. Powell will arrive at…

For the third straight season, and seemingly from here on out, Big Ten basketball is starting in December. Indiana faces the ominous task on Saturday of opening conference play at a place where they haven’t won in more than 20 years — Wisconsin. With league play set to get underway, we take a quick look at each team, and then set out our predicted order of finish for the 2019-20 conference standings. ILLINOIS (6-2 / No. 45 KenPom) Top producers: Kofi Cockburn (Fr., 16.2 ppg, 11.2 rpg), Ayo Dosunmu (15.8 ppg, 3.5 apg), Andres Feliz (14.8 ppg, 6.8 rpg, 4.3…
As we wrote yesterday, IU football head coach Tom Allen finished the season both with an 8-4 record, and as the lowest paid coach in the Big Ten. That changed today as Indiana announced a new seven year contract with Allen, that will pay the Hoosier head coach average annual compensation of $3.9 million per year. Based on the announced terms, the deal still leaves Allen near the bottom of Big Ten coaches on a per year basis but more than doubles the $1.805 annual haul under his old contract. As we wrote yesterday, the bottom line here is that…
As the 2019 NFL seasons hits the home stretch, the IU football is well represented in the league once again.

Below is a summary of the status and performance of each player through week 13 of the 2019 season. TEVIN COLEMAN, RB, SAN FRANCISCO 49ers Att – 120 Yards – 454 YPC – 3.8 TD – 6 Rec – 20 Rec Yards – 173 TD – 1 Notes: It has…
UPDATE: IU announced a new contract for Allen on Friday. In so many ways, Indiana football fans are in an unfamiliar position at this time of year. Legitimate talk about a ninth win? Come again? Waiting for bowl selection news and actually believing that Indiana could end up at an attractive destination? Um, okay. Oh, and watching the annual coaching carousel and hearing your coach named as a potential candidate rather than wondering if he is on the hot seat? Yep, that is happening too. The Florida State and Mississippi job openings are perhaps the most high profile positions that…
Indiana quarterback Peyton Ramsey did a Q&A session this week as the Hoosiers (8-4) have wrapped up their 2019 regular season. The Ohio native ended the regular season completing 184-of-266 passes (69.2 percent). The school’s all-time completion percentage leader threw 13 touchdowns and just 4 interceptions. Ramsey added 198 rushing yards and six scores on the ground. Despite beginning the season as the backup, Ramsey appeared in 10 games and earned honorable mention All-Big Ten honors this week. Indiana’s bowl game destination will be announced on Sunday. https://youtu.be/LGWqUskTrB0 Video Credit – IU Athletics You can follow us on Twitter: @daily_hoosier Find…

At 71 years old, Florida State head coach Leonard Hamilton doesn’t need to sugarcoat anything. When he gets a technical foul he doesn’t think he deserved, he will tell you about. Hamilton thought that a five-second call on his team as they tried to inbound the basketball was too quick, and his rapid gesture mocking the way the officials counted to five seconds earned him a technical. “I got a technical because I gave a gesture, I thought it was pretty quick,” Hamilton said after the game. “I’d like to earn my technical. I didn’t get my money’s worth on…
Playing without their starting point guard against one of the better defensive teams in the country seemed like a formula for a challenging night on Tuesday. Instead, IU stayed perfect on the 2019-20 season and opened some eyes nationally with a convincing 80-64 win over No. 17/19 Florida State at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall in Bloomington. Indiana moved to 8-0 and is off to its best start since beginning the 2012-13 season with nine straight wins. Speaking of streaks, the Hoosiers will open Big Ten play with a road trip to Wisconsin on Saturday afternoon at 4:30 p.m. ET. IU…
