In anticipation of the Indiana University football team winning a national championship, the fish at Showalter Fountain were removed before the Hoosiers head to Miami
to play the Miami Hurricanes on Monday night in the College Football Playoff National Championship. After past championships, the fish have been stolen by fans celebrating. This is the first time the IU football team is playing in the national championship. (Photos by Jeremy Hogan/The Bloomingtonian)
