No one that I’ve spoken to in the current Indiana football locker room liked the decision made last August by the Athletic Department to follow IU’s Brand and Uniform Guidelines and remove the player’s names from the back of their jerseys. No one. But no one said a word either. The fans? They certainly spoke up. And former players? They didn’t hold back either.

When head coach Archie Miller looks out to 2021, he sees a potential void in the “Big Ten” size that he finally has now.
