I found another article that talked about the upgrades Indiana did to the

stadium in 2016/2017. The article doesn't mention the funding source for that capital project. However, if Cuban was involved with that project, then I would think his name would have appeared in the article. Similar to how he donated $5M in 2015 for the sports media center (Mark Cuban Center for Sports Media and Technology at IU) and NIL donations (2024 and 2025) after he had a conversation with Cignetti.

Agreed - particularly in the ACC
VT ChemE 1986 02/05/26 12:31 PM ET
But for how long will those top teams want to remain in the ACC though?

Could Indiana still have "overachieved" without the Big Ten money though?
VTHokie2000 02/04/26 06:23 PM ET
You’re leaving out IU’s Mark Cuban money. Also, billionaire Ken Griffin
