Big Ten Expansion Boosts Fan Attendance

Indiana fans celebrated a significant victory at the Rose Bowl last weekend, where their team triumphed over UCLA with a score of 42-13. The expansion of the Big Ten has created exciting travel opportunities for fans, allowing them to attend games across the country, including upcoming matchups in Ann Arbor and Seattle. This surge in interest is invigorating programs like UCLA and Indiana, which have struggled to engage their fan bases in recent years. The Hoosiers had not played at the Rose Bowl since 1968, making the event particularly memorable for those in attendance. Indiana quarterback Kurtis Rourke expressed the importance of the historic venue and the thrill of securing a win. The new conference schedule is expected to attract more fans from smaller schools to significant West Coast games in the future.
