Indiana head coach Curt Cignetti responded to criticism regarding the cancellation of the Hoosiers' home-and-home football series with Notre Dame, originally scheduled for 2030 and 2031. During an appearance on the Big Ten Network, he expressed interest in playing Notre Dame and suggested the Irish should visit Indiana twice. The cancellation was reportedly initiated by Indiana, leading to Notre Dame rescheduling games with USC. Indiana currently lacks a Power Four nonconference opponent scheduled over the next six seasons, following the series cancellation. The last matchup between the two teams occurred during the 2024 College Football Playoff, with Notre Dame winning 27-17.
