    • Perfect ending to Indiana’s perfect season

      The college football landscape has changed quite a bit over the last five years. Athletes can now be compensated for their name, image, and likeness. The Pac-12 no longer exists. The champion is not crowned by the Associated Press but by a 12-team playoff. For years, decades even, the football program at Indiana University was an afterthought. That ended Monday night when the Hoosiers finished off a perfect 16-0 with their 27-21 win over the University of Miami in the College Football National Championship.

      NewsNation’s Marni Hughes covered the watch party at Assembly Hall in Bloomington, Indiana. She discussed the night’s events with Bob Sirott and Andy Masur. She talked about the reaction from students on campus, whether the celebration was still on-going, and if Indiana can now be considered a football school.
