Indiana’s strength coach could be the third-highest paid in the country
When it comes to the strength & conditioning aspect of the sport, Indiana football is stepping up with the big boys of college football.
Amidst speculation that had him connected to Alabama, it was confirmed earlier this month that David Ballou was leaving Indiana football for Tuscaloosa as the Crimson Tide’s Director of Sports Performance. Nearly two weeks later, the Hoosiers confirmed that Aaron Wellman has been hired as the program’s strength coach.
Officially, Wellman’s title at IU will be that of senior assistant athletic director for football performance.
“We strive to provide our student-athletes with the best in all aspects of our program and Aaron Wellman’s hire does just that,” Indiana football head coach Tom Allen said in a statement. “Bringing in his elite expertise is a game-changer. Aaron has worked at the highest levels in both college and professional football. We are excited for his arrival and believe he will take our strength and conditioning to another level.”
Wellman comes to Indiana football from the NFL, where he spent the past four seasons as the strength & conditioning coach for the New York Giants. The Indiana native also has previous strength coach experience in the Big Ten as he served at that capacity at Michigan from 2011-14.
This will also serve as an employment homecoming of sorts as Wellman began his career with Indiana football. From 1997-98, Wellman was a graduate assistant with the Hoosiers. From 1998-2001, he was the assistant strength & conditioning coach with the program.
“It’s exciting to be back at a University we love, and to work with a coaching staff and team we believe in,” Wellman said. “We’re anxious to get started.”

Re: While it’s not yet been confirmed by the school, it’s reported that Indiana football will pay Wellman $700,000 annually as its strength coach. If that’s accurate, it would make Wellman the third-highest-paid strength coach in college football, behind only Ohio State’s Mickey Marotti ($801,150) and Iowa’s Chris Doyle ($800,000).

I’m not trying to make this a jab but I’m surprised an SEC SC coach isn’t in the top-3 albeit a small figure likely distinguishes single rankings. Iowa being that far up there is a bit surprising considering how they’re slightly above average.

My favorite Indiana story is Indiana head coach Lee Corso stopping the game to take a scoreboard picture....whether it happened or not:
Did Lee Corso Stop A Game To Take A Scoreboard Picture?
The Legend
During a game in the 1970s, Indiana jumped out to an early lead against Ohio State. Hoosiers coach Lee Corso was so excited to be ahead of the Buckeyes that had his players pose for a picture in front of the scoreboard.
Did It Really Happen?
Probably not.
But in the first minute of the second quarter, according to a 1977 Sports Illustrated article by John Underwood, something bizarre happened.
Indiana scored a touchdown and kicked the extra point. Lee Corso, the Indiana coach, immediately called time and huddled his players on the sideline, where he had a photographer take a picture of the happy group at an angle which allowed the scoreboard to fill the background: INDIANA 7, OHIO STATE 6. Asked why he did this, Corso said, “It’s the first time in 25 years Indiana has led Ohio State in a game. I looked it up. Can you believe it? Twenty-five years! The goal of a lifetime!”
Sadly for Corso, the lead did not last. OSU went on to win the game, 47-7.

Talk about adding financial insult to on-field injury for the Indiana football program.
Indiana faced Tennessee in the Gator Bowl this past college football bowl season. Midway through the fourth quarter, the Hoosiers held a 22-9 lead. IU was on the verge of claiming its first postseason win since the 1991 Copper Bowl. The Vols, though, scored a pair of touchdowns in less than a minute of game time to come away with a 23-22 win.
For participating in the bowl game, Indiana’s athletic department received $2.125 million from the Big Ten. The expenses surrounding the trip to Jacksonville, though, were $2,169,416. So, in other words, it cost IU a little over $44,000 to lose that heartbreaker of a game.
From HoosierSportsReport.com:
Nearly $2 million of those expenses were for the football team specifically, with the most costly line item being travel. Flights to Jacksonville, Fla., cost $690,333, plus there was another $145,406 in ground travel.
Meals were the next biggest expense at $337,236. Hotel costs amounted to $219,240. Uniforms and bowl apparel were a nearly quarter-of-a-million-dollar expense, at $249,150.
There was also a $110,930 expense for awards, which includes commemorative rings for players in the game.
IU’s band and cheerleading team accounted for a combined $174,262 in expenses, including $156,272 for IU’s Marching Hundred.

Why Tom Allen's two-point play decision in OT was three years in the making for Indiana's coach
A career of close calls at Indiana made going for two a no-brainer against Penn State
Tom Allen made the do-or-die decision midway through his team's final possession. At that point, the Indiana coach's determination to go for two in overtime against the No. 8 team in the country had actually been years in the making.
"One play to win it," Allen said. "We've been close, and I'm sick and tired of being close."
When quarterback Michael Penix Jr. stretched as far as he could to touch the pylon on a two-point conversion in overtime, Indiana not only pulled off the biggest win of the day by knocking off Penn State 36-35 in overtime, it washed away years of frustration.
Allen had been 6-9 in games decided by a touchdown or less since taking over as interim coach in the last game of the 2016 season. And despite coming off their best season in 27 years, the Hoosiers ended 2019 with a bitter 23-22 loss to Tennessee in the Gator Bowl. In that game, Indiana became the first team in 472 tries last season to lose a game when up by two scores with less than 5 minutes to play, according to ESPN Stats & Info.
"I kept coming back to the bowl game," Allen said Saturday after Indiana's first win over a top 10 team since 1987. "We've got to find a way to not let this happen again. That can just be crippling to you. When you think about all the things that happened and all the plays that had to be made, it was amazing."
The game may have turned when Penn State tailback Devyn Ford scored to make it 28-20 with 1:42 left. Indiana conceded the 14-yard run in order to get the ball back.
"We have a signal to our defense to let the opposing team score, so we made that call," Allen said. "I was surprised. I was hoping he wouldn't go down at the 1-yard line, because if he did, our chances of winning were pretty much eliminated."
Ford seemed to realize his mistake, slowing down as he crossed the goal line.
