Curt Cignetti fires back after Indiana takes heat for canceling Notre Dame series
Never one to shy away from a sharp quip, Indiana coach Curt Cignetti was asked about the Notre Dame home-and-home cancellation.
Indiana football coach Curt Cignetti responded to criticism over the cancellation of the Hoosiers' two-game series against Notre Dame. The series, originally scheduled for 2030 and 2031, was called off at the request of Indiana. In a recent interview on the Big Ten Network, Cignetti stated his desire to play Notre Dame, suggesting a potential series of games between the two teams in the near future.
Notre Dame has since taken advantage of the canceled Indiana series by scheduling games against Southern Cal. However, this move has left Indiana without a Power 5 conference opponent outside of the Big Ten for the next six seasons. Despite this, the Hoosiers still have open dates in 2030-2032 that could potentially be filled with additional nonconference games.
