Great article!

Unfortunately—and yes, I know Cignetti is only playing by the same rules that apply to IU's opponents—Indiana is a team of transfers/mercenaries.

In the end, it's not about the journey; it's about winning, losing, and the money (at least at the D1 level).

My undergraduate years at IU spanned 2002-2006. During that time we went 1-7 in the Big Ten each season and won a total of 12 games in 4 years. IU football fandom the past two seasons has now become the apotheosis of delayed gratification for anyone who ever attended or followed this school.
