Indiana Hoosiers (2025 National Champions)

I get if the team has a policy with practice gear, but why share it with the media? Seems like something that should be shared within the team instead of making it a public embarrassment of the player.

I think he was asked about them, because their journalists were allowed in part of their practice. And in Cig fashion, he has no problem with providing what happened in his own way. Cig doesn't strike me as a guy who cares if he pisses off a star player. I honestly have no problem with it, he let Marsh know that he's not above anyone on the team. I could see someone like Saban doing the same and also providing the same response in a presser. I could see Day ripping into a player, but not giving full context or even much further info to the media. But everyone knows how Cig's personality is, so there should be no surprise that not only did he go off on the player, but he also did it publicly. Sorry, but I don't feel bad for Marsh, he's a professional athlete at this point and wanted to carry himself like he was Michael Irvin and his HC reminded him that he can act like that but he's not Jimmy Johnson, and he doesn't play that on his team

Expected No. 1 Fernando Mendoza puts on show at Indiana pro day​

Fernando Mendoza warmed up with his college roommate Wednesday while nearly two dozen college teammates took turns running the 40-yard dash.

Then the Heisman Trophy-winning Indiana quarterback did what he always seems to do: deliver another impressive performance.

All 32 NFL teams sent scouts to Indiana's campus, more than 100 media members were credentialed and dozens of family members and friends of ex-Hoosiers showed up for a pro day unlike any other in school history. Most came to see the guy expected to be the first pick in this month's NFL draft, and Mendoza didn't disappoint, using his platform to potentially help his ex-teammates improve their draft standing.

"I feel like it went great," Mendoza said after throwing the last of his roughly 56 passes inside the John Mellencamp Pavilion. "You know quarterbacks have passed, have done shorter pro days than that. However, I just wanted to make sure everybody could showcase their abilities in front of all 32 NFL teams and really run routes that are applicable to the timing we're going to be running in the NFL."

Mendoza threw short, deep and medium-range passes, targeting receivers to the left, right and over the middle. He also threw on the run.

But Mendoza also said he's far from a finished product.

"I'm putting all of my efforts toward just trying to be the best quarterback possible for the season," he said. "But I know at the next level, there's going to be a lot more snaps under center, and that's a big adjustment. I need to get used to that and just the nature of the game. Not only that, the hash [marks] are more condensed and the speed of the game is faster. So, all those things I look forward to learning."
