With the Bears now poking across state lines for potential stadium sites, Mayor Brandon Johnson is forcefully reasserting his claim: the team’s home is — and should remain — Chicago.

Indiana hosts Chicago State in non-conference action. The teams square off Saturday for the first time this season.

Chicago Governor JB Pritzker's spokesperson expressed his disappointment in the Bears' threat to move out of Chicago and into Indiana.

In a marquee nonconference matchup at a neutral site Saturday, 21st-ranked Auburn (8-3) will meet No. 6 Purdue (10-1) in Indianapolis with coverage on Peacock. For both teams, this will mark the second-to-last game before they begin scheduling exclusively within conference for the remainder of the regular season.
