Curt Cignetti has accomplished one of the best rebuilding efforts in college football history during his two seasons in Bloomington. In the three seasons before his arrival, the Indiana Hoosiers won a total of nine games and had never recorded a double-digit win season in their entire history.

IU extended coach Curt Cignetti's contract on Thursday, pushing him into the top five salaries nationally.

“The way that this state has embraced us and our success in football has meant more to me than anything else,” Cignetti said.
