Indiana football coach Curt Cignetti leads team to College Football Playoff with record NIL funding

Indiana football coach Curt Cignetti has transformed the team, leading them to an 11-1 regular season and a spot in the College Football Playoff. This marks Indiana's first significant success in football since the late 1960s. Ticket prices for the upcoming playoff game against Notre Dame have surged to between $900 and $1,000, reflecting increased demand. This change follows a period of more affordable prices just days ago. Indiana's investment in name, image, and likeness (NIL) funding has reached $13 million for 2024, placing it among the top programs in college football. This funding is seen as crucial for the team's competitiveness in the expanded Big Ten Conference.
