What is the Old Oaken Bucket?

What could better represent Indiana in the 1920s than a bucket from a well? That's what alumni from IU and Purdue decided when creating this traveling trophy. A suitable bucket (actually, it was in great disrepair and needed to be refurbished) was found on a farm between the southern Indiana towns of Kent and Hanover.

A chain with links of "I" for IU and "P" for Purdue are added each year, signifying the game's winner.

Purdue beat IU 30-16 in 2022 and leads the series 76-42-6. The Boilermakers have won two in a row and four of the past five matchups.

Indiana football, Purdue football coaching situations

Tom Allen is in his 7th full season as Hoosiers coach, the third in a row that will finish with 4 wins or less. He enters with a 33-48 record. His contract runs through the 2027 season, but if IU fires him without cause immediately after this season, it would owe him $20.8 million.

Big deal: Cost of firing Tom Allen would be big. Is the cost of keeping him bigger?

Ryan Walters is in the first year of a contract that pays $4 million per season over 5 years.
