Let’s start from the top.
Indiana football is not the biggest brand name in college football. In Indiana alone, you’ve got Notre Dame, who for years has won enough to keep the attention of fans in the Hoosier State. To the north and the east are Michigan and Ohio State, respectively. Down south is Louisville, a resurgent program that now has its fourth-straight eight-win season under Bobby Petrino, who was brought back to Floyd Street despite leaving the program for the NFL in the dead of the night and despite having a sex scandal at Arkansas to his name.
