IU's Cignetti is gearing up for a season of high expectations after the Hoosiers' historic NCAA national championship win last year. The team's success has put them at the top of the college football heap, and they're set to face a challenging season with the arrival of top quarterback Josh Hoover from TCU.
IU has been ranked sixth in the first ranking of the season, a feat that would have been enough to spark celebrations in the past. However, for the Hoosiers, this ranking is just another reason to feel disrespected and motivate the team.
Curt Cignetti, IU's coach, will be leading the team into the new season, looking to build on their previous success. The arrival of Hoover is expected to boost the team's chances, but it remains to be seen how they will perform.
The season is set to be an exciting one, with the Hoosiers facing off against top teams like Ohio State and Miami. However, the high demand for tickets has driven prices up, with some seats costing over $900 for the Ohio State game.
Meanwhile, Purdue fans are looking on with a mix of envy and opportunity. The home opener against ISU is selling for a relatively low $8 on StubHub, making it a more affordable option for fans.
IU's Memorial Stadium is expected to be packed, with prices for tickets reaching up to $200. However, for those willing to take the risk, there may be opportunities to be had.
