About this listen

Coming off one of the most program-defining moments in Indiana football history, Tricia Whitaker and Sydney Parrish sit down with Jeremy Gray, Indiana University’s Associate Athletic Director, for a behind-the-scenes look at how it all came together.

Jeremy reflects on the Rose Bowl win over Alabama, the culture shift under Curt Cignetti, the viral bison mascot reveal, and why this season has united the entire IU community in a way he’s never seen before. He also shares incredible insight into Cignetti’s obsessive preparation, Fernando Mendoza’s toughness and leadership, and how Athletic Director Scott Dolson empowered staff to take bold risks.

If you want to understand why Indiana football reached this level — and what makes this moment sustainable — this is a must-watch episode.
