I watch NCAA women's ice hockey because there is far more skating, passing, and play-making than the NFL or even NCAA men's ice hockey. The Final Four games were very exciting.

So the guru people use to relieve their recruiting anxieties has cashed in twice and now is starting a new and better site for the nervous nellies to throw money at. It is true a sucker is born every minute.

NE suffered from victory disease. They thought their glory days in the 90s would be automatically repeated when they got out from under Texas and found refuge in what they considered a less worthy and less competitive conference. A number of bad hiring and firing decisions of coaches and ADs and...

The proof of the pudding is in the eating. The proof of recruiting is the conference record. If PJ wins the West this year and does well enough to make the playoffs in subsequent years when the divisions are gone and USC and UCLA are in the BIG, all will say he has recruited well.

To be much more appealing to the recruitniks I would suggest 2.543008534 out of 3.1467855678.

It is still baffling to me how supposedly well-educated people have so much emotion invested in ratings based on multiple variables that are primarily based on opinion and not fact. Their legitimacy is further diminished by reporting their analysis in four significant figures. I am further...

I had hopes but it seems Francis is recovering from abdominal surgery.

The BIG tried divisions twice and the concept was a failure. The West division did give a few West teams the chance to go to the championship game, where they always lost and in general provided an easier schedule for the West teams. The reactionaries can wish divisions will come back, but they...

In 2025 WI plays tOSU, USC, and Alabama. The best way to entice recruits is to show them if you come here you will be playing in big games on a big stage.

As it has been mentioned many times, a team could choose not to have any protected rivals, two or three. There was no nefarious double-dealing going on.

The 2024 and 2025 conference schedules were just announced on the BTN.

This was inevitable once USC and UCLA joined the BIG. From the beginning, I disliked the divisions and never saw their need as long as each team had two permanent rivals. USC is recruiting very well and UCLA will not be a pushover so the conference games are overall going to be more interesting.

In the great scheme of things, ESPN will make sure that the sports fans who use ESPN for information will still believe the SEC is the king of college FB even if they only play eight conference games. The SEC will still get two of the top four and two more teams in the 12-team playoffs.

I thought the topic was about Lou Holtz and how his departure for Touchdown Jesus ruined MN FB until the next ice age, not the Twins or Wolves. Holz was a very flawed person and despite his success at ND they finally could not stand him anymore and they made him redundant. He left most places...

How much longer will the selection committee give the conference so many bids when year after year the BIG fails to produce when the games begin? Edy the alleged "star" of the BIG is back because no NBA team wanted him. The same thing happened to the MI "star" who ended up on a minor league NBA...

Freitag has not yet to see the BB floor in a WI uniform. Who knows what will happen in his year away from home? Who knows what will happen to the WI BB program? WI did not do well in the NIT tournament and played poorly in a poor league, so Gard has to be on a hot seat. He may not even be at WI...

Gard just decreased the temperature of his seat by getting that recruit. If he gets the so-called #1player in WI his seat will be cool until the AD sees what kind of product he puts on the floor.

Divisions are gone in the two conferences that got the most TV money. The BIG has to meld USC and UCLA into the 2024 schedule in a way that pleases the TV companies. Two guaranteed rivalry games make that scheduling easier than three rivalry games. Now we will see if ESPN has the cajones to...

Some BIG teams, particularly the more recent ones into the BIG, may not desire two or one guaranteed rival games.

The SEC sticks to the eight conference opponent schedule while the BIG goes to nine and the SEC will not suffer when it comes time to choose the 12 team finalists next year. Why, because they are THE SEC and all must bow down before them. It is surprising that their TV carriers did not insist on...
