UCLA
Maryland
Penn St
Wisconsin
Purdue
We win at least 8 of those 9. 7 at worst and could def go 9 for 9
You left off Illinois, Iowa, Oregon twice, Ohio State, Alabama, and Miami. We would have lost all 7. So of their 16 games, we at best would be 8-8 (probably much worse) while they were 16-0.
They just boat raced Oregon and Alabama and beat Miami on the road in the title game. They would have won the sec.

The whole IU played a weak schedule could've been argued before the playoff era, but they beat Bama by 35 points, boat raced Oregon, beat Miami (who went 3-0 against SEC teams) and beat OSU in the big 10 title game. The portal and NIL era has changed college football to where the SEC is no longer the dominant conference. I agree we might have won 1 or 2 more games with IU's schedule, but we couldn't even beat a bad Florida team that is on the same level as those teams IU played in the Big 10 or Wake Forest. On paper you think we would win 8 of those 9 (not Penn State) but I am sure we would've blown 2 games like we did the UF game so we would've been 6-6.

While it is difficult to tell the exact amount, it has been reported that Cuban has been Indiana’s biggest donor by far over the past few years. Along with the $5 million for a sports media center and $6 million for the school’s rugby team, Cuban was the biggest funder both last season and this season, hoping to land some of the biggest names in the transfer portal.

The largest reported number for Indiana 2025 roster seen is "just under 20 million" from an On3 article, and Cig said last night what was being reported was nowhere close to accurate.
But even if he is lying and it were 19 million, they spent near the bottom of what sec teams (like us) spent and are the best team in America. Talk about an incredible ROI.

And him being on the field postgame was worth it to him. Bet he gets a replica for his trophy shelf.
