Indiana cancels Notre Dame series, lacks future non-conference rivals
Summary

Indiana University has canceled its upcoming home-and-home football series with Notre Dame, originally scheduled for 2030-31, leaving the Hoosiers with no non-conference games against Power Four opponents. This decision follows criticism of Indiana's past non-conference schedules under head coach Curt Cignetti, which have been deemed weak. Indiana’s upcoming opponents for the next several years include teams like North Texas and Howard, but none from the top tier of college football. The cancellation raises questions about Indiana's scheduling strategy, especially in the wake of recent changes in conference requirements for non-conference matchups.
