Indiana coach Curt Cignetti is sounding the alarm that college football’s financial model is collapsing—warning that without urgent reforms in the next 12 to 24 months, universities may no longer be able to field teams. As player costs soar, lawmakers are pushing the “Protect College Sports Act of 2026,” which proposes salary caps, stricter transfer rules, and bans on former pros returning to college. Cignetti, while supportive of player compensation, calls the situation “scary” and admits schools are struggling to keep pace. Though he participated in Big Ten meetings discussing these issues, he stayed silent on specifics, instead backing the conference’s leadership and playoff expansion. He acknowledges he has no control over legislation but hopes a solution emerges before the sport’s future is lost.
