Indiana Republican Senator Jim Banks introduced a bill earlier this week to rename a Bloomington post office after Indiana football coach Curt Cignetti.  

If passed, the United States Postal Service location at 520 South Walnut Street would be renamed the “Curt Cignetti Post Office.” 

Banks, an IU alumnus, announced his intent to introduce the bill on X following IU’s win over Ohio State in the Big Ten championship game last weekend.  

The bill was most recently read twice in the Senate and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.

WFIU/WTIU News is an independent newsroom rooted in public service.

“Act Independently” is one of the basic creeds of journalism ethics, and we claim it proudly. The WFIU/WTIU News facilities are located on the campus of Indiana University, which does hold our broadcast license and contribute funding to our organization. However, our journalists and senior news leaders have full authority over journalistic decisions — what we decide to cover and how we tell our stories. We observe a clear boundary: Indiana University and RTVS administrators focus on running a strong and secure organization; WFIU/WTIU journalists focus on bringing you independent news you can trust.
