Focus for a minute on the absurdity of Indiana's quarterback situation.
Peyton Ramsey flees Indiana to lead Northwestern to a bowl game.
Michael Penix flees Indiana to go to Washington where he is the most prolific passer in the country.
Connor BAzelak and Jack Tuttle, each with one year of eligibility remaining, enter the portal with no heir apparent in Bloomington. Their total silence about the coaching staff speaks volumes.
There is not a single quarterback at Indiana returning who has any experience other than a guy who is now a wide receiver. Everybody who could flee the quarterback room at Indiana has fled.
What other program has this problem? What other program has ever had this problem?
It is going to take a few years to potentially fix this mess and by that time CTA is most likely going to be packing his bags which will then again add more uncertainty to the mix.
NIL is only going to widen the gap between the haves and the have nots in the next few years.
And now Tom Allen wants to build the program around a non-existent quarterback. The prototype dual purpose quarterback that is not on the roster. Good luck bringing in a player who is most likely going to be out for the season before the season is half over. In fact he may not even survive the opening game against Ohio State. So Tom is going to need two or three of these guys, none of which currently exist.
