Overview
- Bison Drop confirmed Cignetti authorized the company to acquire and auction the game-used headset, part of its weekly memorabilia drops.
- The sale set a new benchmark for coaching headsets, surpassing Bill Belichick’s Super Bowl 36 unit that sold for $10,200 in 2018.
- Late action drove the final price from roughly $20,000 to $112,500 over the last 24 hours, totaling 212 bids.
- The headset included official authentication documents, and other championship items such as Peach Bowl game balls, towels and Gatorade bottles also sold for hundreds to thousands of dollars.
- Indiana’s surge in fan interest follows a 16-0 season under Cignetti, who has noted the program’s NIL resources are more modest than many assume.
