Curt Cignetti inks Indiana contract extension, earns raise amid 6-0 start: 'I plan on retiring as a Hoosier'

Curt Cignetti, the head coach of the Indiana Hoosiers football team, has signed a contract extension with the university. The extension comes amid the team's strong start to the season, with a 6-0 record. The new deal includes a significant raise for Cignetti, though the exact details of the contract have not been disclosed. The extension is seen as a move to keep Cignetti at Indiana, especially as the Penn State head coaching job recently became available. Cignetti expressed his commitment to the Hoosiers, stating, "I plan on retiring as a Hoosier." He praised the university's support and the progress the team has made under his leadership. The contract extension is viewed as a positive development for the Indiana football program, which has seen a resurgence in recent years. Cignetti's ability to lead the team to a strong start this season has likely contributed to the university's decision to retain him.
