The Indiana University Hoosiers football program has never captured an undisputed major consensus national championship in the historic annals of collegiate football. While the program has experienced memorable competitive highlights, legendary individual players, and occasional conference title successes within the Big Ten Conference over its long history, capturing a national crown has eluded the university. The football team operates in a athletic department historically renowned for legendary basketball success, but the gridiron squad continues striving to achieve historic breakthroughs on the national stage in the modern era of college sports.
