Which Indiana college programs get the most coverage?

Indiana in Bloomington, Purdue in West Lafayette and Notre Dame in South Bend set the calendar, with Butler and Ball State close behind. The small-college rivalries count too: the Monon Bell Classic is one of the oldest trophy games in college football.

How does the IHSAA state tournament work?

Most IHSAA team sports run the same ladder: sectional, then regional, then semi-state, then the state finals. Sectional week is the round fans travel for, and the finals move between host venues. IHSAA volleyball moved its finals to Gainbridge Fieldhouse in 2025.

When is the next Indy 500?

The 110th Running of the Indianapolis 500 is Sunday, May 24, 2026, at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Race week is a season of its own in Indiana, from Carb Day to the Snake Pit, and it has a full guide on the Indy 500 page.

Is there a Get Indiana sports podcast?

Yes. Get IN. Sports is hosted by Dom Miranda and covers high school, college and pro sports across Indiana, mostly through interviews with the reporters, coaches and broadcasters on those beats. It publishes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and YouTube.

Does Get Indiana cover high school sports outside Indianapolis?

Yes. Northeast Indiana gets its own weekly coverage, including football previews for the Northeast 8 Conference, the Allen County Athletic Conference and the Northeast Corner Conference, plus Fort Wayne area games, sectional runs and recruiting news.

What sports is Indiana best known for?

Basketball and motorsports. The high school game is why Hoosier Hysteria is a phrase, Hinkle Fieldhouse still hosts postseason basketball, and the IHSAA tournament fills gyms every March. Motorsports is the other half: Indianapolis Motor Speedway has run since 1911 and takes most of May.

How often is this sports coverage updated?

New stories publish as games, signings and results land, which is most days in football and basketball season. The shelves above re-sort as coverage arrives, so the pro, college, high school and motorsports rows each stay current without this page being rewritten.

Indiana Sports - Colts, Pacers, Fever, College & Motorsports

The short answerUpdated Aug 13, 2026

Indiana sports run on four levels at once. The Colts, Pacers, and Fever carry the pro side out of Indianapolis. The colleges supply the rivalries: Indiana in Bloomington, Purdue in West Lafayette, Notre Dame in South Bend, plus Butler and Ball State. Motorsports takes a month of its own every May at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. And IHSAA basketball and football still fill gyms and bleachers on a Friday night.
