EXPANSION AND REALIGNMENT: Big Ten Status Quo Until 2026 | Ohio State Names QB
Breathe a sigh of relief. It appears college football expansion and realignment talk can simmer down through the 2024 and 2025 seasons. Why? Because ACC schools, in particular, Florida State and Clemson who are suing to get out of the ACC and its horrible media rights deal, had until August 15th, 2024 to announce if they would defect the conference in time for the 2025 college football season.

UCLA Secret Weapon Eric Bieniemy; Jim Harbaugh Busted by NCAA!
As the UCLA Bruins join the Big Ten in time for the 2024 college football season, they seem to be undergoing a lot of transition and may not be an immediate threat to compete in the Big Ten.

EXPANSION: Big Ten Turned its Back on Florida State? Do Indiana and Purdue Have Fighting Chance?
Is the Big Ten ignoring Florida State and an expansion opportunity to add the Seminoles to the conference? Does the same go for Clemson regarding any college football realignment talk? Why do we ask?

Their schedule is brutal. And, here is the kicker; They do not have to play Michigan or Ohio State and things are still going to be tough. That is life in the newly expanded Big Ten for the upcoming college football season. Instead of the Wolverines and the Buckeyes, Wisconsin will face Penn State, USC and Oregon.CAN
Penn State Makes College Football Playoffs if Drew Allar Improves at QB
Penn State football will make the college football playoffs if quarterback Drew Allar improves from 2023. It is time for him to live up to his 5-star billing. His 25 touchdown - 2 interception ratio was great last year. The problem is he would not or could not throw deep and stretch the defense. Allar may not have taken chances because of overbearing coaching. Or he may not have been able to go long because Penn State football did not have a speedy game breaking wide receiver. HIGHER GOALS

Former Ohio State Coach Urban Meyer Adding Pressure to Ryan Day
As if Ohio State football coach Ryan Day was not already under enough pressure going into the 2024 college football season.

Is the NCAA punishment for the Michigan football Spy-Gate scandal coming soon? Reading the college football tea leaves would suggest something is coming within a couple weeks.

James Franklin Decade-Long Honeymoon Over at Penn State? Win Now!
Penn State football coach James Franklin has ten years under his belt at Happy Valley. He won one Big Ten title but has not made it to the college football playoff. But this year the college football playoff expands from 4 to 12 teams. Penn State, almost always ranked in the top 12 under Franklin, should benefit from this expansion more than any other team.

Big Ten and SEC Super Conference Already Happening

EXPANSION: Will Florida State, Clemson Choose Big Ten or SEC?
College football will flip upside down once the ACC blows up, and it WILL blow up! Then Florida State and Clemson, which are both trying to sue their way out of the ACC, will have to choose which conference to join. Since we love to talk Big Ten expansion, we strongly feel the only choices for them will be the Big Ten or SEC. So which conference will be a better fit for the schools? And vice versa.

Former Michigan Football Coach Jim Harbaugh Wanted to Stay
Former Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh really wanted to stay at Michigan according to a brand new book about him. However, distrust for administrators and strong dislike for the NCAA, which always seemed to hound the college football coach, forced him to jump to the NFL and coach the Los Angeles Chargers.HARBAUGH WOULD HAVE STAYED?In all fairness, it seemed like Harbaugh long wanted to return to the NFL and the Chargers gig pays significantly more money.

Nebraska and Penn State are Scaling Back Stadium Renovations?

Ryan Day and the Ohio State football team faces a world of pressure in 2024. The Ohio State Football season feels like championship-or-bust at this point. And spring football is here so that means we get our first look at how Ryan Day and his Buckeyes are forming for the giant task at hand.This offseason has been full of transfer portal, recruiting, and Name, Image and Likeness news. Not to mention, the Bill O'Brien to Chip Kelly switch at offensive coordinator. We are not sure all of this a
Caitlin Clark and Iowa Hawkeyes 3-Peat Big 10 Tournament Title; Eye Top Seed in NCAA Tournament
Despite trailing most to the day, super star player Caitlin Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes came from behind to force overtime and beat the Nebraska Cornhuskers to win their third straight Big 10 Women's Tournament Championship Sunday with a 94-89 victory. It didn’t come easy as Caitlin Clark missed her first nine three-point attempts and the Iowa basketball team trailed by 11 points at the half. But Clark scored 30 of her 34 points after the break and now wait to see if they will be a number one
Can Big Ten Remove Underperforming Conference Football Schools?
Would the Big 10 ever cast aside its underperforming football schools? Everything regarding college sports has been about expansion. Could the Big 10 kick out schools like Indiana, Purdue, or Rutgers? Would the SEC kick out a school like Vanderbilt? The lower performing schools are not in a position to win championships and they don't bring in as much revenue or garner big TV ratings like some of their more popular counterparts. Yet, they still collect $75-100 million dollars a year from th
Dylan Raiola Going to Work for Nebraska Huskers Matt Rhule
Quarterback Dylan Raiola and Nebraska Football coach Matt Rhule are quietly working together to lift the Huskers toward the top of the Big 10 in 2024. Rhule isn't ready to name his 5-star freshman the starter just yet, though. He wants him to get his feet wet and learn how to be a college student first. But Raiola is working behind the scenes doing everything he can to help this Nebraska football team as much as he can. We will get our first look at Raiola in the Huskers Spring Game on April
Can Matt Painter Survive if Purdue Boilermakers Bounce Early…Again?
Purdue basketball coach Matt Painter wins games. He wins a lot! In fact, his Purdue Boilermakers just won their second consecutive outright Big 10 regular season championship. Matt Painter and his Boilermakers are shoo-in to land a number-one seed in the NCAA Tournament later this month. But Purdue basketball has a problem. Neither Painter or Gene Keady have hung a national championship banner in Mackey Arena. This is despite the fact Purdue Basketball is really good almost every year. So
Big Ten Media Days Schedule Released: Story Lines on EVERY Football Team
The Big Ten just released its college football Media Days schedule in Indianapolis in July. It's time for March Madness now and Spring Football hasn’t started yet, but once Big Ten Media Days get here it means college football is here! We can already imagine Commissioner Tony Petitti welcoming the Oregon Ducks, Washington Huskies, UCLA Bruins and USC Trojans to the league. We can imagine the press conferences with Ohio State football coach Ryan Day answering questions about his championship-o
JJ McCarthy Turns Heads At Combine; Caitlin Clark Does It Again!
Michigan football quarterback JJ McCarthy impressed a lot of people this weekend at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis. Many debate if McCarthy will be drafted in the first round. After all, he didn’t get to show off his skills on a Michigan football team that ran the ball a lot and protected big leads on the ground. However, with the Combine and McCarthy's scheduled Pro-Day in Ann Arbor he will get plenty of opportunity to show off his arm and his charm! CAITLIN!Caitlin Clark and the Iowa Hawke
Big 10 Controls Playoff Expansion; Caitlin Clark Going Pro!
Big 10 Commissioner Tony Petitti controls the additional expansion for the College Football Playoff. Just as we settled on expanding to 12 teams a couple weeks ago, we are now headed toward expanding the college football playoff to 14 teams. One would wonder, if this is inevitable, why not jump to 16? A lot of this fails to make sense and it absolutely continues to water down the importance of regular season Saturday afternoons! Be assured that whatever is decided, the Big 10 will be in cont
Wisconsin Football Big Spring Plans for Luke Fickell
The Wisconsin football team is getting ready for spring football as Luke Fickell starts his second season in charge of the Badgers. Fickell wants an air-raid offense but he's got to get better play at quarterback. Tanner Mordecai was not the answer. The plan for 2024 is to use Miami Hurricanes transfer Tyler Van Dyke to lead the Wisconsin football offense. Van Dyke is talented but erratic. Another talented quarterback already on the roster may get a shot at the starting job and that is Brae
Can Kirk Ferentz and Iowa Football Repeat 10-Win Total?
Kirk Ferentz and Iowa football over-achieved their way to 10 wins and an appearance in the Big 10 championship game last season. Despite a true lack of offense and injury after injury the Hawkeyes continued to win games. Give a lot of credit to Kirk Ferentz. As far as coaches go, he's a pro's pro. Sadly for him, he had to fire his son Brian Ferentz as the team's offensive coordinator. Tim Lester will call the offense in 2024 but he will enter spring football without quarterback Cade McNamar
Does Dan Lanning have a Heisman QB at Oregon?
Dan Lanning and the Oregon Ducks have so many aspirations in 2024 it's hard to keep up. Oregon Football expects to win the Big 10 in its first season. Oregon football also expects to win a national championship as well. Oregon has a loaded football team but they will have a new quarterback. In fact, they will have two new quarterbacks with Oklahoma's Dillon Gabriel and UCLA's Dante Moore. Whoever wins the starting job will have big shoes to fill. Bo Nix threw 45 touchdown passes and comp
Pressure on Nebraska Huskers Freshman Quarterback Dylan Raiola?
Matt Rhule and the Nebraska Cornhuskers hold their annual Red-White Spring football game soon. And there will be a lot of pressure on incoming true-freshman quarterback Dylan Raiola who flipped from the Georgia Bulldogs at the last minute to join Nebraska football. Nebraska football is dying to get to a bowl game, something they haven't done since 2016. Rhule had a decent Huskers team in his first season in 2023. But they never could get right at the quarterback position. That's what makes

So, who is Miller Moss? He didn’t have extraordinary stats in high school and he hasn’t played that much in two years at USC. We don't have a lot of intel on his abi

How Nick Saban Led to Michigan State Troubles; Jonathan Smith Will Fix Things
Michigan State football has a long way to go. Jonathan Smith has a big job to do and try to turn things around. While previewing the upcoming spring we will look back at how former Spartans coach Nick Saban indirectly led to today's problems with the Michigan State program. This is more of an amusing look at history and not a criticism. And, by the way, the first half of the Spartans 2024 football schedule is rough.

The Michigan Wolverines will look to win their fourth straight Big 10 Championship in 2024. However, as spring football approaches the Michigan football team will look a lot different from 2023. That difference starts with the head coach Sherrone Moore taking over for Jim Harbaugh and his first job is to name departed quarterback JJ McCarthy's replacement. Oh, and about twenty players from the 2023 team will be drafted by the NFL in two months. There should be an ample supply of players ready to

The Buckeyes get an early start to spring ball and hold their annual Scarlet and Gray game at noon on April 13th. Unlike last season, five quarterbacks will compete for the starting job.

Jim Harbaugh's Next Move if Michigan Rescinds Contract
The University of Michigan has rescinded a lucrative contract extension offered to Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh following an NCAA investigation into an alleged opponent sign stealing operation. The contract reportedly would have made Harbaugh the highest paid coach in the Big 10. For reference, that means it would have been north of 10 million dollars a year. So what's next? A firing? A resignation? Both sides quietly separate the day after the season ends? We will look into all of that

This weekend the Ohio State Buckeyes survived a turnover-proned first half at Camp Randall and ran their way to a victory over the Wisconsin Badgers.

The Penn State Nittany Lions survived a Halloween scare from Tom Allen and his Indiana Hoosiers. This game was tied 24-24 with under two minutes to go.

Colorado Buffaloes football coach Deion Sanders and his son, quarterback Shedeur Sanders, shocked the college football world by beating TCU Saturday.

Drew Allar is the Best Big 10 Quarterback; Plus Who Wins the West?
Penn State Quarterback Drew Allar is the best signal-caller in the Big 10 right now. He has great arm talent, pocket awareness and he was a great understudy with Sean Clifford. Don't worry, Michigan Wolverines Fan! Michigan quarterback JJ McCarthy is right there with him. But we make the case as to why it is more difficult to gauge McCarthy and whether he is a generational QB like Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh says. Other quarterbacks like Ohio State's Kyle McCord had a tougher debut for 2023. We

Buckeyes String of Elite Quarterbacks Over?
The Ohio State Buckeyes may be ranked in the top 3 in every football poll but Ryan Day and his football team are nowhere near that good at the moment. And Buckeyes quarterback Kyle McCord is no C.J. Stroud. At least, not yet! Ohio State was able to beat the Indiana Hoosiers but only scored two touchdowns in doing so. The Buckeyes also failed to register a passing touchdown despite owning the best wide receiver group in the country. Meanwhile, Penn State Nittany Lions quarterback Drew Allar might
