Indiana women’s basketball is expanding its reserved seating sections in Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall, the program announced Wednesday.

The release announcing the change noted this move came “in response to a significant increase in demand” for reserved season tickets. Those who already purchased general admission season…

Byron Baldwin wasn’t expecting his sudden rating increase. The class of 2025 defensive back was rated a three-star prospect by Rivals when he committed to Indiana football in April. 247Sports didn’t have him in its rankings. That changed in May, after Baldwin excelled at the Under Armour Next Camp and caught scouts’ eyes. 247Sports not only added him to the list, but bumped him up to a four-star recruit. Baldwin also plays running back at St. Frances (Md.) Academy, and he told The Daily Hoosier he always thought he’d get his fourth star when people saw what he could do on offense.…
