I could not find a source for Burl Ives attending college at Indiana State University.
He did. Owed ISU money until the day he died.
Rumor in Sullivan is Alvy Moore settled that outstanding debt.
Though scuttlebutt in Clinton has Jerry Van Dyke giving clandestine banjo lessons to kick in some of the balance

Assumption is he took graduate/advanced level courses at ISU. Can see players ripping the snowman apart and thn throwing alley oops with him and then put him back together and he slides off the court. Haha
In 1931, he joined Terre Haute radio station WBOW. A photo in the museum’s archives shows him with the station’s other talented performers. During this time, he also took courses at Indiana State Teachers College.
"After classical training at Julliard School of Music in New York, Ives specialized in folk songs. Terre Haute audiences of the 1940s could hear the balladeer on his own radio show, “The Wayfaring Stranger,” carried on CBS affiliate WBOW. His popularity grew with hit recordings of “Lavender Blue,” “A Little Bitty Tear,” “Big Rock Candy Mountain,” “On Top of Old Smokey” and “Holly, Jolly Christmas.”
He also achieved Broadway success, most notably as Big Daddy in the Tennessee Williams play “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.” In 1958, he received the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for the role in the movie. He claimed another Best Supporting Actor Oscar for “The Big Country.”
Historical Treasure: Burl Ives' strong local connection
It may surprise some people, but Burl Ives, one of the 2014 inductees into Terre Haute’s Walk of Fame, has a strong local connection.Born in 1909 to a farm family

Banjo lessons while keeping rhythm with Orville Redenbacher popcorn popping while Red Skeleton makes wise cracks sipping a CV.

This is actually a really, really good idea....if you can get the rights from the WWE or whomever. People will ask why do they play that music (or show him on the video board) and you can tell the story of how he once went to ISU. From Wikipedia:
Warrior was born in 1959 as James Brian Hellwig, in Crawfordsville, Indiana, about 50 miles northwest of Indianapolis. He was the oldest of five children and was raised by his mother (along with, later, his stepfather) after his father left his family when he was 12. His father died at 57 and a grandfather died at 52. The family moved and he graduated from Veedersburg's Fountain Central High School and attended Indiana State University for a year.
Alabama had an in game promo with a student where they played "classic concentration" style match game on the jumbo for prizes. Thought it was fun, engages everyone.
They also have enough attending to do some cool stuff with phone lights during intros.
