Let me put it this way, I was born just before IU’s last Rose Bowl appearance and IU, other than the pandemic year, has not been competitive in the Big 10 so it has been a once in a lifetime experience.
Yes, the new scope of college sports has changed to better even the playing field, but still doesn’t change
the fact that IU is now a player in the game. I do believe it is sustainable going forward as the money has always been there at IU, just the commitment hasn’t been there
