There's a lot of news each day in college sports and in Indiana Athletics, the Hoosier's Alec Busse highlights them
HOOSIERS WELL REPRESENTED AT WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS
Indiana's swim program is set to be well represented at the world championships on Friday in the Faukuoka World Aquatics Championships.
Eleven Hoosier swimmers and four coaches are traveling to the world championships to represent the school -- and their country -- in three different categories -- pool swimming, open water swimming and devising.
Hoosier diving coach Drew Johansen is the head coach for the USA Diving team. Three divers with connections to Indiana are participating, including two Olympians and current sophomore Maxwell Weinrich.
Junior Mariah Denigan is competing for Team USA in the open water swimming competitions. She is coached by associate Indiana coach Cory Chitwood, who is serving as an assistant.
Seven Indiana swimmers are competing in pool swimming competition and head coach Ray Looze is serving as an assistant coach.
NORTHWESTERN NAMES INTERIM COACH
Northwestern named defensive coordinator David Braun the interim head coach for the 2023 season following the firing of head coach Pat Fitzgerald on Monday over allegations of hazing from former players.
Braun is in his first season with Northwestern after previously serving as the defensive coordinator at North Dakota State, an annual FCS power. Northwestern is Braun's first job in the Power 5 and he takes over the remaining Northwestern staff.
Northwestern players have 30 days to enter the transfer portal given Fitzgerald's firing, however, few scholarships remain available across college football.
