“I just say win m————,” Indiana’s alum and booster Mark Cuban said to reporter Dominic Miranda before the Peach Bowl. “I’m the luckiest dude in the world, right? Like to be able to be in this situation and I know they’ll be good to me, right? And all that kind of stuff. Now I get the nice suite, I have to pay for it, but at least I get first crack at it.
But just to be able, the reward is when we win, just every Hoosier fan, everywhere, my buddies, my boys, right? I played rugby at IU, so all my teammates, a bunch of them are here, flew in from all over, all my buddies like that I grew up with, went to IU with, lived with in Dallas, my room, they’re all here, they all flew down.”

Mark Cuban is a proud IU alum who graduated from the business school in 1981.
Now, he is using his financial resources to strengthen the team’s roster. He is doubling down on his support for Indiana’s 2026 transfer portal cycle, investing heavily in it.
Cuban’s financial backing comes on top of his previous contributions, which include $5 million for a sports center and $6 million to fund Indiana’s Rugby club.
