Indiana football head coach Curt Cignetti spent four years working under Nick Saban at Alabama, and Cignetti doesn't anticipate Saban returning to the sideline.

Cignetti told reporters at Big Ten Media Days that an unnamed Hoosiers player received a $1.5 million offer to transfer during the spring portal window in a blatant example of tampering. The offer came at a time when teams across the country were rushing to sign players to front-loaded deals that avoided having to go through the clearinghouse.

After Curt Cignetti defended Indiana’s controversial nonconference schedule, Dave Portnoy jumped in to take his own shot at the SEC.
