That's How it’s Done, Bison

A rare local story from our home base in Bloomington, IN, home also to (most famously) Indiana University, which this year surprised the college sports world with the football team’s undefeated run to their first-ever College Football Playoff National Championship. Part of its success could be attributed — not really but also maybe yes? — to the reinstatement, after a 60-year hiatus, of Hoosier The Bison as the mascot for all athletics teams starting in the 2025 – 26 academic year. At the link is a fun profile of Abbey, the IU student under the Bison costume that brought the mascot to life in its first year back. So wholesome.
