Newly hired Indiana football coach Curt Cignetti hasn’t been afraid to make some bold statements as he makes the rounds in his new state.
Ahead of his introductory press conference in Bloomington, Cignetti stopped in Indianapolis for an interview with Big Ten Network, in which he said the Hoosiers (3–9 under Tom Allen in 2023) would play for a conference championship in ’24.
That level of braggadocio continued on Friday night, when Cignetti was introduced to Hoosier fans at Assembly Hall, during halftime of the men’s basketball team’s 65–53 win over Maryland.
