WIBC: The News and Talk of Indianapolis
 

WIBC is the radio home of Indiana University Football!

Remembering Terry Hoeppner: Coach Hoeppner's family requests that memorial contributions be made to the IU Varsity Club in support of the new North End Zone Facility at Memorial Stadium. Contributions (payable to IU Foundation) may be sent to the Indiana University Varsity Club, 1001 East 17th Street, Bloomington, IN 47408.

On a day that saw the Indiana University family lose a beloved member in football coach Terry Hoeppner, the mood shifted from sadness to celebration as IU held its official groundbreaking ceremony to signify the beginning of construction of several major athletic facilities including the North Endzone Facility, Basketball Development Center, Baseball Stadium, Softball Stadium and The Academic Resource Center.

The Memorial Stadium North End Zone Project (target completion is late December of 2008) will house a new, state-of-the-art strength development area used by more than 600 Indiana student-athletes. In addition, coaches' offices and meeting space for the football program, a Hall of Champions, which will spotlight successful student-athletes and teams throughout the history of IU athletics and administration offices will be a part of the plan.

Architectural plans call for the Indiana basketball teams to have a new facility to call home. The Indiana Basketball Development Center (target completion is September of 2008) will serve as the daily headquarters for the men's and women's programs, featuring practice courts, locker rooms, coach's offices and meeting rooms for each team, as well as a training room and strength development area. The addition of the center will alleviate overcrowding issues encountered in the current facility.
