Curt Cignetti “Compete Best When I am Angry” Has Chips on his Schedule for all 12 Indiana University Football Opponents\u00a0<\/strong> Fair warning to Howard:\u00a0 Curt Cignetti has found something to be angry about your Sept. 12 trip to Bloomington. No, Cignetti is not picking on the FCS program, he\u2019s getting ready for the 2026 season \u2014 a campaign that features an entirely new dynamic for the 65-year-old head coach:\u00a0 The defense of a national title. One of the mainstays of Cignetti\u2019s championship culture is the elimination of complacency. You\u2019ve likely heard him recite the program dogma. There\u2019s no smiling on the sideline with a big lead.\u00a0 Every play has a life of its low.\u00a0 Never too high, never too low.\u00a0 There are no warm fuzzies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We could go on and on with the Cignetti-isms.  But the bottom line \u2014 the man is at war with complacency. Even as the reigning national champion, Cignetti is not planning to change much about the day-to-day operation of his program.  After all, it has worked out pretty well to this point. And one of the features of his approach finding an edge and ensuring he is coaching and the team is playing with a chip on their shoulders. There are early indicators the players have turned the page. You don\u2019t see or hear much in around the practice facility or Memorial Stadium that suggests anything significant happened in January.  Since his arrival, Wisconsin transfer offensive lineman Joe Brunner said he never hears anything about last season.  He says the team is locked in, professional, and all about 2026. But Cignetti isn\u2019t going rest assuming things will take care of themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of his favorite tools is identifying something about each opponent the team can rally around.  A common theme over the last two years has been disrespect directed at the Hoosiers.  But that\u2019s where things are a little different this time around. While not everyone believes IU will successfully defend its national title, you won\u2019t find much disrespect or doubt directed towards Indiana these days. So, Cignetti is finding it.  Every once in a while you\u2019ll hear clues that he\u2019s paying attention to what the outside world is saying.  And he\u2019s been working on that recently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cignetti has found something to get the competitive juices flowing for every game this fall. \u201cI wrote down my 12 chips,\u201d Cignetti told Adam Breneman\u00a0in a lengthy sit-down interview. \u201cWe play 12 teams.\u201d Cignetti is not revealing the chip on his shoulder for Howard or anyone else on the 2026 schedule, but he did explain where his competitive streak comes from. \u201cWhen I grew up, there wasn\u2019t much to do,\u201d Cignetti said.\u00a0 \u201cYou played basketball, baseball, football, you played sports in the back. You were always competing. And you become a competitor, right? And you like to win. Well, I always competed best when I was angry.\u00a0 When I didn\u2019t like the guy, I was competing against, that always brought out the best in me. \u201cSo I mean I\u2019ll find some things.\u201d Some will be easier than others. Already there are predictions IU will lose at Michigan, where the Hoosiers haven\u2019t won in nearly 60 years. And many believe Ohio State will return to the top of the Big Ten this season. But all 12?\u00a0 Even Howard? \u201cAbsolutely.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Former Indiana University Men’s Basketball Head Coach Bob Knight’s 1987 National Championship Ring is Being Auctioned <\/strong> Legendary IU basketball coach Bob Knight\u2019s 1987 national championship ring is being auctioned off. The ring is currently\u00a0listed at Sotheby\u2019s\u00a0with an estimated sales price of $60,000 to $80,000.\u00a0 It is described as a 10 karat gold ring with various jewels. Knight auctioned all of his national championship rings, his Olympic gold medal, and other items in 2012.\u00a0 He said at the time he was doing it to raise money for his grandchildren\u2019s college education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was never into putting such items on display in his home. \u201cI\u2019ve got stuff I didn\u2019t even know I had,\u201d Knight said at the time. \u201cI don\u2019t put anything up in the house. If you came into the house, you would think I was a mailman. And I don\u2019t even wear rings.\u201d The 1987 ring went for $54,000 in 2012.\u00a0 An individual named Jim Taubenfeld won the ring. Knight passed away in 2023 at the age of 83.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Breezy Burnett Signs with Indiana University Softball<\/strong> Indiana Softball head coach Shonda Stanton announced the signing of transfer Breezy Burnett to the program on Friday . Burnett comes to Bloomington after spending the last four seasons at Minnesota. She is from Jacksonville, Fla. and is an outfielder. From 2023-25, Burnett had 144 starts in 157 games played for Minnesota’s outfield. In the 2024 and 2025 seasons she started all 103 games. Burnett has career totals of 55 runs, 81 hits, including 27 extra base hits and 53 RBI to go along with a .983 fielding percentage. In 2025, she led her team with three triples. The same season, she hit a walk-off single in a win over Miami (Ohio) (Feb. 8) and launched a grand slam in a win at Wisconsin (April 21). In 2024, she led the team with 13 stolen bases. She missed the entire 2026 season due to injury. Burnett is also a three-time Academic All-Big Ten selection (2024-26).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She attended Trinity Christian Academy in Jacksonville for high school and played for coach JR Borden. At Trinity Christian, she was a four-time district champion and three-time regional champion while helping her team win a Florida Class 4A State Championship as a freshman in 2019. Burnett was a blue chip prospect, being ranked the No. 29 overall player in the class of 2022 by Extra Innings Softball. She was named to the 2022 Alliance League All-Star Team Watch List, representing the Southeastern Fastpitch League. Burnett was also a 2021 All-State First Team selection and named to the 2021 All-County Second Team. She played travel ball with Lady Dukes Lamar Gold from 2019-21. Her team was the PGF Nationals runner-up in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bloomington South Girls Track and Field Coach Jill Rensink Resigns<\/strong> Jill Rensink has reached the finish line as well. Following the best cross country and track seasons in program history, the Bloomington South head coach announced she is stepping down, as is her husband, Jay, who coached South\u2019s jumpers. \u201cI came from a track background in Canada and came down here on scholarship,\u201d Rensink said. \u201cMy primary event was the 800, so helping with the 400 was within my wheelhouse. I was comfortable with that. \u201cThat allowed me to work more with the sprint group down to the 100, and that was a great learning experience and allowed me to dig a little bit deeper into different types of training.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of South\u2019s all-time best have run under her watch, from Amiyah Davis and Lily Myers to Ellie Barada, Violet Hall, Adriene Shaevitz, the Martoglio twins and Lexi Kollbaum. Together, they rewrote much of the Panthers\u2019 record book. But coaching is also about those who are not record-breakers but are still important to team goals as well. \u201cThe past six years have been a lot of fun and challenging,\u201d Rensink said. \u201cWe got really lucky to have six years of continuous inflow of kids with talent. And trying to figure out how to train them properly has been a lot of fun. \u201cI think with any coach, the better the team, the more challenging it is to meet everybody\u2019s needs and keep them progressing at the right rate and keep them healthy. You can\u2019t just look at your good kids, but the lineup as a whole when you get to bigger meets and the team has a chance to do things. Jay was always talking about how it\u2019s a huge circus juggling lineups that kids could handle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working with 43-year coaching veteran Larry Williams and his wife, Missy, was a blessing. \u201cLarry has been a wonderful mentor,\u201d Rensink said. \u201cWhen I first stepped into the cross-country position, he was showing me the ropes and all the administrative stuff and walking me through that. \u201cMissy coached for 25 years, so her experience, expertise and knowledge and she was such a great sounding board and support person. I was able to bounce a lot off her. And Larry continues to be supportive and helpful over the years. I\u2019m also grateful I got to work with Tom Stokes as well. They have very different approaches in how to coach, so to have that experience and be a sponge and gain as much knowledge as I could. \u201cEven just in that area, Justin (Helmer) and Charlie (Warthan) at North. It\u2019s such a great group of coaches in the area who were all wonderful inspirations to me.\u201d North track is also resetting with Warthan and Rick Rumple, the Cougars\u2019 long-time jumps coach and former Owen Valley coach, both retiring. Rumple will continue to run the Indiana Track Club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Former Indiana University Quarterback Brendan Sorsby Not Allowed to Join the Canadian Football League\u00a0<\/strong> Another door has closed for\u00a0Brendan Sorsby’s immediate football future, as the CFL said Friday that the quarterback will not be allowed to join any of its teams for the upcoming season. “Upholding the integrity of the league and ensuring fair competition are paramount to the CFL,” the CFL said\u00a0in a statement <\/a>to USA Today. “The allegations involving Brendan Sorsby are serious and concerning. “At this time, the CFL will not register a contract for him, and no team will be permitted to add him to its negotiation list.” Sorsby had not publicly expressed interest in playing in Canada, but his options are limited after the NFL decided Tuesday not to hold a supplemental draft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sorsby admitted to betting thousands of times on college and pro sports, bets that totaled upward of $90,000 and included 40 wagers on\u00a0Indiana\u00a0football while he was on the team. He had attempted to regain his eligibility to play at\u00a0Texas Tech\u00a0for the 2026 season but withdrew a lawsuit against the NCAA after initially receiving a temporary injunction to play. Sorsby’s attorney, Jeffrey Kessler, had told ESPN that the NFL’s decision not to hold a supplemental draft was a CBA violation and that they would pursue possible action with the NFLPA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
