Indiana Hosiers’ head coach Curt Cignetti finds himself in another trouble after his team’s Nick Marsh was spotted with a controversial app on his phone recently.

Indiana football once again found itself at the center of online controversy after a viral post claimed wide receiver Nick Marsh is under official NCAA investigation as part of a sports betting crackdown. The report, shared by Scott Hughes on X, immediately sparked a fierce debate among college football fans, with reactions split between those accusing the Hoosiers of wrongdoing and others dismissing the situation as an unverified rumor.

The timing of the accusation has only fueled emotions. Under head coach Curt Cignetti, Indiana has enjoyed a resurgence that many around the sport did not see coming. Their recent performance against Oregon was nothing short of magical. While the post aimed to evoke a different emotion, fans were quick to identify what was wrong with the report.

The tweet was quickly met with pushback from Indiana supporters and neutral observers who urged caution, pointing out that no official statement from the NCAA or the university has been released. Many labeled the report as speculative at best, accusing critics of jumping to conclusions simply because Indiana is finally winning.

Another fan wrote, “so betting companies everywhere, but players are the problem?”

One person stated, “Such an unfair bush league headline. Michigan StWR”

“the fake news accounts are real annoying. mute city,” one person wrote.

Another fan wrote, “Hope you get sued!!”

One comment was, “Dude, you got sime evidence to back that claim up? If not, you should have your “credentials” pulled.”

One person wrote, “If it’s the ncaa doing the investigation it should be finished in 3 years with no actual penalties.”

Another fan wrote, “People are already trying to cut the new kid down to size.”

As of now, the situation remains unclear, with no official confirmation to support the explosive claims circulating online. But what is clear is that Curt Cignetti’s success has placed Indiana firmly under the national microscope.
