I (and I suspect you) are old enough to remember UC playing an ABC-TV game @ Auburn in the early 80's and it hardly got a mention in local media. It was also a total mismatch on the field.

We've come a long way, yet I think both these early games in the Hoosier State present enormous challenges. If UC football wants to keep changing the narrative in a positive way, a split is the minimally acceptable outcome. Otherwise, it tends to marginalize the great work Fickell has done here in the minds of the skeptics who see college football only through a P5 lens.
