    UPDATE: Ta’Quan Roberson was NOT offered by NU

    I remember Roberson from the 2021 Penn St. - Iowa game. Both teams were in the Top 5 and Kinnick Stadium was rocking, but Penn State came out strong with its starting QB Sean Clifford, but then he got hurt in the 2nd QTR and Penn State's offense could do almost next to nothing with Roberson...

    Former Big Ten punter transferred due to lack of opportunity

    Here's a problem I wish we will have with Northwestern football: Ohio State's former punter Jesse Mirco, a semifinalist for the Ray Guy award as the best collegiate punter, transferred away from Ohio State earlier this year. He recently did an interview and told the host that, while Ohio...

    Virginia makes it legal for universities to pay college athletes

    So are they officially employees if they're paid directly? What would be impact on other extracurriculars including "non-revenue" sports and other activities? Do they get labor representation?

    Jalen Blackmon

    Transfer portal is open to anyone, as long as they do during the open period periods. There is 45-day transfer portal period that began at the end of the basketball regular season that ends May 1. There is also a 30-day transfer portal period at anytime for programs where there is a Head...

    Do you respect the Ivy League?

    Cornell gave Ohio State all it could handle in the 1st Round of the NIT last week. OSU won, but it was tight in Columbus. Now football, I don't know...

    Dean Lowry to Steelers

    Kyle Allen, not to be confused with Josh Allen, will be targeted as QB3 by the Steelers right now. The Steelers will likely take four quarterbacks into camp and start the season with three. So Kyle Allen may possibly be fighting to keep the QB3 position with a late round draft choice or...

    Well that couldn’t have gone much worse

    Thought it was going to be 110-55 at first, but the Cats at least fought back to a somewhat more respectable score. Having 2 starter quality players out took a slight edge off the team on the tail in the season and not having depth hurts when you have a short turnaround in a tournament like this.

    Is a 12-hour road trip really safer than an airplane for Nicholson?

    John Madden would have been very proud of Nicholson.

    Kentucky bites the dust!!!!!!!!

    After the SEC's 1-3 performance on the 1st day, especially where they were seed to win all 4, SEC Commissioner Sankey is taking heat for statements for suggesting that the automatic qualifiers for mid-majors may need to be taken away...

    What do people think of BIG seedings?

    It's a real matter of controversy in ACC-land that Virginia got in over Pitt when they have similar metrics and Pitt ran Virginia out of their own house, but they claim the Committee thought Pitt's non-conference schedule was too weak for a bubble team.

    What do people think of BIG seedings?

    If you drill down on Indiana State's schedule, you will not necessarily be overwhelmed. 78% of their wins were against quad 3 and 4 and they were 1-4 against the only Quad 1 games they had. They had a great year, but it was against a softer schedule, especially compared to some of the other...

    OT: Wow, Justin Fields worth only a 6th “that could become” a 4th

    The Steelers are my long-time favorite NFL team, so this is great for me. Steelers fans are hyped up. There was moderate excitement earlier in the week when they got Russell Wilson for the league minimum (with Denver still on the hook for about $38 million). But the news Saturday that...

    NCAAs: Where and when might we play?

    With the Big Ten championship game being so late and so close to the tourney selection announcement, I wonder if it might be the case that it only matters to make the title game for NCAA seeding purposes and less whether there is a victory or not. I'm thinking the tourney committee is not...

    NCAAs: Where and when might we play?

    If you're a projected #1 seed and you know who the other projected #1 seeds, you might have an idea where you might play in the first round now. But most any other seed, it is hard to tell. It isn't just that there are so many games to play with some upset conference tourney champs taking...

    Poll: Which would you rather have?

    I would take the Final Four appearance over a Big Ten tournament championship relatively easy. The Sweet 16 is nice but does not bring the national acclaim that the Road to the Final Four would to make up for not winning the conference tournament. But then again, why can't we have both!

    Is Chicago State CCC’s Miami, (OH)?

    Miami (OH) football was/is a good MAC program with a lot of history, multiple MAC championships, and is known as the "Cradle of Coaches" for being a place where multiple young coaches performed well and then moved on to major programs. Chicago State is a fledgling program that has bounced...

    Temporary stands at the practice field?

    I like the idea of building able to have the temporary seaa I agree with idea the of installing temporary capacity on-campus for the early season games: Aug. 31, 2024: vs. Miami (Ohio) Sept. 7, 2024: vs. Duke. Sept. 14, 2024: vs. Eastern Illinois Oct. 5, 2024: vs. Indiana With the above...
