Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crimsonquarry.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Indiana Hoosiers<\/a> fans and fans across the country. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smartsurvey.co.uk\/s\/6Q70N2\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sign up here<\/a> to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.<\/p>\n<p id=\"Dmwsux\">Michael Niziolek of the Bloomington Herald-Times <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heraldtimesonline.com\/story\/sports\/college\/iu\/2025\/06\/27\/indiana-football-cancels-future-home-and-home-series-against-virginia-2027-2028-hoosiers-cavaliers\/84281938007\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">reported a while ago<\/a> that Indiana and Virginia were in talks to cancel the upcoming football series. That seems to have taken a turn today, with the move being as close to an official confirmation as you\u2019re gonna get:<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Indiana cancels home\/home series w\/Virginia in 2027-28 &amp; must pay Cavs\u2019 $500,000 for canceling series, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/michaelniziolek?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">@michaelniziolek<\/a> reports. Instead, Indiana has added home games w\/Kennesaw State in 2027, Austin Peay in 2028 &amp; Eastern Illinois in 2029<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Brett McMurphy (@Brett_McMurphy) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Brett_McMurphy\/status\/1945107330405732663?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">July 15, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"nqkh9x\">That\u2019s the second power-five nonconference series the program has bought its way out of after the planned slate against Louisville was reduced to a single matchup in 2023. As McMurphy states, the 2027 game has been replaced with one against Kennesaw State.<\/p>\n<p id=\"zxRuZK\">Indiana\u2019s next scheduled non-conference game against a power-five opponent* will take place in 2030 when the Hoosiers are set to travel to South Bend to take on Notre Dame in the first matchup of a home-and-home series the two programs agreed to in 2021.<\/p>\n<p id=\"7407CX\">Naturally, as with the Louisville cancellation, this move has ignited a mini-firestorm online bashing the Hoosiers\u2019 scheduling habits.<\/p>\n<p id=\"tlzsIf\">What do you think? Do you approve or disapprove of Indiana\u2019s series cancellations? Should the Hoosiers play Notre Dame as scheduled?<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NCAA.
