Why Bloomington
FOX built its first three Big Noon Saturdays around the last three national champions. Indiana is up first, celebrating its title at home against a North Texas team that went 12 and 2 last season. Indiana has become a regular pregame stop under Curt Cignetti: Big Noon was in Bloomington for UCLA in 2025 and twice in 2024.
