Jordan Geronimo Signs Two-Year, $323 Million Deal with IU Basketball
Bloomington, IN – In a historic move for Indiana University basketball, forward Jordan Geronimo has officially signed a two-year contract worth $323 million. The announcement was made at a press conference on Thursday, sending ripples through the college basketball community.
Geronimo, known for his explosive athleticism and versatile playing style, emerged as a key player for the Hoosiers last season, averaging 12.3 points and 6.4 rebounds per game. His ability to impact both ends of the floor and contribute to the team’s success has made him a sought-after talent in the NCAA.
“I am thrilled to continue my journey with Indiana University,” said Geronimo. “This program has been my home, and I am excited to help lead the Hoosiers to new heights. The support from the fans and the community has been incredible, and I can’t wait to get back on the court.”
The unprecedented deal reflects not only Geronimo’s individual talent but also the rising financial dynamics within college sports. With recent changes in NCAA regulations allowing for lucrative name, image, and likeness (NIL) deals, Geronimo’s contract underscores the growing trend of financial investments in collegiate athletes.
IU head coach Mike Woodson expressed his enthusiasm for retaining Geronimo, emphasizing the importance of continuity within the team. “Jordan is an integral part of our program’s future. His work ethic and determination are qualities that inspire our entire squad.”
With Geronimo’s signing, IU basketball fans have much to look forward to as the team gears up for the upcoming season, aiming to reclaim its storied place in college basketball.
