Try:
(setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.iupui.edu"))
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
'((nnml "")
(nnimap "imap1.iupui.edu"
(nnimap-address "imap1.iupui.edu")
(imap-stream kerberos4))))

You should only use mail-sources if you want to download your mail to
store locally, ala pop3. Typically, you'd rather use the
secondary-select-methods.

I'm not sure what's going on there. Does the imap server require
kerberos authentication? You may have to set the imap-stream
variable, which I added to the gnus-secondary-select-methods above.
