Overview
- Indiana’s visit, scheduled for Monday, May 11, was reported by ABC News from a team source, and the White House offered no immediate comment.
- Fernando Mendoza told reporters Saturday he would likely skip the trip to avoid missing what he believed was the first day of Raiders practice.
- The Raiders’ published calendar lists OTAs starting May 18 with no team activities on May 11, creating a clear discrepancy with Mendoza’s understanding.
- Head coach Curt Cignetti is expected to attend the ceremony recognizing the program’s national championship.
- Indiana capped a 16-0 season in January with a 27-21 win over Miami for its first title, and Mendoza went on to win the Heisman and become the Raiders’ No. 1 draft pick.
