IU Football Could Earn a Fifth Season Under NCAA's Five-Year Eligibility Plan

The NCAA is poised to approve a universal five-year eligibility model in Division I, with a June vote likely; if enacted, IU football players who did not redshirt could gain an extra season, and all incoming 2026 freshmen would be on the five-year plan. Waivers to extend eligibility would largely be eliminated, except for pregnancy, religious missions and active-duty military service, and the NCAA outlined implementation steps for how the new rules would roll out at schools.

IU Football Coach Acknowledges QB Rotation Failure in Blowout Loss to Michigan

The Indiana University (IU) football team's quarterback rotation failed to provide answers in their game against Michigan, leading head coach Tom Allen to announce that the rotation will not continue. IU's redshirt freshmen quarterbacks, Tayven Jackson and Brendan Sorsby, both struggled to impress against Michigan's strong defense. The constant rotation made it difficult for the quarterbacks to find a rhythm, and the offensive players were often unsure of who would be leading the team. With a crucial game against Rutgers approaching, IU will need to settle on one quarterback, although it remains uncertain who that will be.

Indiana Football Fires Offensive Coordinator Walt Bell Amidst Struggles

Indiana University (IU) football has fired offensive coordinator Walt Bell and replaced him with Rod Carey. Carey, a former Indiana offensive lineman and head coach at Northern Illinois, will take over as the full-time offensive coordinator. Bell's termination comes after the Hoosiers struggled with consistency and a lackluster offense, scoring just five touchdowns in four games against Football Bowl Subdivision opponents in 2023. Carey, who has experience in building prolific attacks, will attempt to boost the struggling Indiana offense. This marks IU's fifth offensive coordinator in eight seasons.

Hoosiers Suffer Ugly Loss to Maryland, Setting Up Battle with Ohio State

Indiana University's football team, under the leadership of coach Tom Allen, suffered a devastating 44-17 loss to Maryland, marking one of the lowest points in Allen's tenure. The Hoosiers' offense continued to struggle, displaying a lack of rhythm and creativity, managing only four touchdowns in regulation against FBS opponents this season.

Immediate changes are needed to salvage the season.
