Mark Cuban helped Indiana land Mendoza with NIL donation

Indiana alum Mark Cuban revealed he provided NIL funding to help the Hoosiers secure quarterback Fernando Mendoza, who subsequently led the team to a national championship.

Cuban, an Indiana graduate and Dallas Mavericks owner, stated that he stepped in with a financial contribution to secure Mendoza's commitment after the Hoosiers showed interest during the 2024 College Football Playoff.

Mendoza went on to win the Heisman Trophy and guide Indiana to a perfect 16-0 season and a national championship before being drafted first overall in the 2026 NFL Draft. betsport.cv
