Good morning, Bloomington.

A Bedford man died Friday afternoon in a head-on collision on State Road 45 in Greene County when his 2010 Chrysler Town-and-Country collided with a 2021 Ford F450; the Ford driver was taken by EMS to IU Health Bloomington Hospital as authorities continue investigating the crash.

At a joint meeting on Aug.

8, Monroe County councilors and commissioners decided to cancel the planned letter to state legislators about the new jail project and instead focus on moving ahead with cost-saving design changes within their reduced budget. They said updated plans are expected by Aug. 19 to address the growing jail population concerns (with current counts nearing the settlement limits).

Indiana football safety Louis Moore filed a lawsuit in Dallas County District Court against the NCAA to seek extra eligibility for junior college play and requested a temporary restraining order so he can remain with the team when the academic term begins on August 25th—his participation in offseason practices has raised questions about his start for the season. His attorney Brian P. Lauten said the court will schedule a TRO hearing on Monday or Tuesday—after the NCAA denied his initial waiver and has not yet ruled on Indiana’s appeal.

Indiana’s men’s soccer team added junior Victor Akoum + graduate student Ben Do to fill gaps in its defense after key players left; coach Todd Yeagley said the transfers will boost the backline as the team prepares for preseason matches at Bill Armstrong Stadium.

The Indiana men’s soccer team added transfers Cristiano Bruletti and Jacopo Fedrizzi to strengthen the midfield after Patrick McDonald left following last season’s Sweet 16 run.

Coach Todd Yeagley said Bruletti’s tough play and Fedrizzi’s international experience will boost depth—together with returning players Charlie Heuer and Jack Wagoner for the upcoming season.

Jack Crousore won the men's Hoosier Amateur at Pfau on August 7 by finishing at 7 under par and three shots ahead of runner-up Carson Baez — IU golfer Maddie May captured the women's title with a record opening round and a nine-shot lead over Nicole Johnson, following her recent win at the Indiana Women’s Open.
