Legendary Indiana University basketball coach Bobby Knight will appearwith GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump Wednesday in Indianapolis.

Trump’s campaign on Monday announced that Knight is joining the billionaire for a campaign rally in the city.

The former Indiana Hoosiers coach will appear with Trump at the Indiana Farmers’ Coliseum that evening. The event will take place a week before Indiana's primary, and is announced the day after Trump's rivals, Ted Cruz and John Kasich, announed a new effort to block Trump from winning the GOP nomination.

Their strategy depends on Cruz defeating Trump in Indiana next week.

Around Bloomington in their minds Knight sits right behind God. This puts largely liberal Southern Indiana in play for Trump. It also hurts Cruz. Lots of Bible thumpers in Southern Indiana who only miss church for an IU game.

More Texans will vote Trump in November than will ever vote Cruz. One Term Teddy is destroying his political career. Enjoy.

Wow! I don’t know if Bobby Knight is still big in Indiana but I remember the days when he WAS huge!

This endorsement might have some power behind it.

Sounds like a smart move. Maybe Mike Ditka could be persuaded to join them.

Bear Bryant is still big in Alabama. Bobby Knight must still be big in Indiana.
