The rich got richer on Friday when reigning national champion Indiana landed its highest-rated recruit in program history, wide receiver Monshun Sales.

How will Indiana handle being a favorite to win the national championship instead of its underdog role from last season?

Football

Monshun Sales is arguably the top wide receiver in the 2026 recruiting class and Indiana is in prime position to land his verbal commitment.

May 2, 2026; Henderson, NV, USA; Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Fernando Mendoza (15) speaks during a news conference at the team’s Rookie Minicamp at Intermountain Health Performance Center.

Fernando Mendoza's life changed in one season at Indiana, but he won't be contributing to the IU NIL fund anytime soon...and that's perfectly fine.

Football

Indiana isn't going to sneak up on anyone again in 2026, but what do opposing coaches see as areas of concern for the Hoosiers ahead of the year?

Mar 11, 2026; Chicago, IL, USA; Indiana Hoosiers head coach Darian Devries shouts instructions to his team against the Northwestern Wildcats during the first half at United Center.

Michigan proved it’s possible to be at a national title level in both football and basketball at the same time. With Curt Cignetti and Darian DeVries leading the way, can Indiana follow suit?

Basketball

Indiana and Kentucky have a long history on the hardwood, but playing on Friday night will be new. As will playing each other in Lucas Oil Stadium.

Football

Indiana University is located roughly 50 miles from Indianapolis Motor Speedway, but Sunday will be its first time ever having such a big role in the Indy 500.
