Indiana football wraps up its transfer portal additions with two key defensive pieces — Joshua Burnham (Notre Dame) and Joe Hjelle (Tulsa) — as the Hoosiers continue building a Big Ten-ready defensive front.

🔴 Burnham (6’4, 260 | RS Senior) brings edge size, length, and pass rush upside

🔴 Hjelle (6’3, 300) adds interior strength and rotational depth

But before the player breakdowns, Coach Griff opens the show with a major college football topic:

🏈 Is the SEC & Big Ten power shift pulling control away from the NCAA?

⚖️ What role will antitrust exemption and collective bargaining play?

💰 How does revenue sharing reshape the future of the sport?

This episode connects the big-picture future of college football with how Indiana is building its roster right now.

• NCAA control vs conference power

• SEC & Big Ten dominance

• Collective bargaining & antitrust discussion

• What it means for Indiana football

• Joshua Burnham player breakdown

• Joe Hjelle player breakdown

• Defensive line outlook

Indiana isn’t just reacting — they’re positioning themselves inside the Big Ten to compete in the next era of college football.

Hosted by Coach Griff (Shannon Griffith) — former Division 1 QB Coach and Head Coach — delivering real football insight, player evaluation, and IU coverage.
