Cignetti on Scheduling:

"that that was a scheduling philosophy that began before I was hired, but I did sign off on it upon being hired before our first season."

"And look, here's the bottom line, okay, we picked up an extra home game, and we play nine conference games. You know, the two best conferences in college football. Any football guy that's objective will tell you is a big 10 in the SEC, all right, 12 to 16 sec. Teams play 3 G5 or an FCS game. 12 of those teams play 36 games, 29 G5 games, and seven FCS games and one less conference game. All right, so we figured we'd just adopt SEC schedule and philosophy. People don't like it."

Scheduling Cont'd: "'I'm more focused in on those 9 conference games. We want to have play-in games to decide who plays in those playoffs Championship weekend. Let's play 3 vs. 6 and 4 vs. 5.

You want to decide that on the field. Make sure everybody's strength and schedule is what it needs to be. Let's make everybody play 9 conference games.

I will put all our Media Days Coverage in this thread.

We start with 5 Storylines to Watch

Everyone in the BIG better shut up about IU changing its schedule. CCC just strongly went to bat for the ENTIRE conference regarding future scheduling as compared to the SEC.

Does anyone know who they were talking about possibly returning? I know Cig said he doesn’t see that happening, but the audio was so poor in the recording I watched I have no clue who they were talking about.

CCC mentioned this on a question toward the end of his media interview.

@thehoosierhuddle I am enjoying each article.  You are doing a fantastic job and what you think needs to be reported with those here, do it.  Just a curiosity question, was any other coach as entertaining and upfront as Coach Cig?
