Yep, while always an issue now with the spread of legalized sports betting in more and more states the opportunity for compromised calls secondary to personal vices or outside coercion has gone into the stratosphere.

Good follow if you want elevated blood pressure. Oh look, it’s another Buckeye getting away with blatant targeting

As YTTV subscribers already know an agreement was arrived at Friday allowing us the pleasure of unimpeded access to elite ESPN broadcast crews, Dallas Cowboy MNF content, so much rejoicing ensued. Sweetening the pot was promised access to ESPN Unlimited content as a free ad-on to YTTV by end...

Down goes Iowa. Couldn’t happen to nicer fans.

Love the frog 🐸 making an appearance in the IU end zone

I disagree NIL is the solution, although it can help.

Ducks running into and bouncing off gaggles of Gophers on multiple occasions is what really sticks with me this AM. Receivers running in green grass. Ridiculous tackling effort. Still a big fan of Lindsey and a healthy Darius but this offense has issues. Ultimately the product on the field...

NIL would be better directed towards officiating crews. Maybe Phil promised this crew a tour of the Joe Paterno building.
