    College Football is Dead

    I don't think many are paying as much attention to the Dartmouth basketball lawsuit as they should. The fact that you have a federal regulatory body in the NLRB that has already ruled that players are already being treated like employees adds a huge amount of credibility to this lawsuit. The...

    Spring Game Set For April 20th! (UPDATED: No Spring Game)

    Nope, no disagreement here. There are many times when we each could have completely different weather. However, not on this day. The whole region was seeing crappy weather with both of them seeing some snow during their games. Don't believe it, just check out the Big1G video archive on YouTube.

    Spring Game Set For April 20th! (UPDATED: No Spring Game)

    Well, last year for example. Iowa, MN & Wisky all had their Spring Games on April 22nd and somehow despite not ideal weather both Iowa and Wisky both managed to hold their games outside, but yet again here we are in the practice facility another year. I guess it's not really an issue as I don't...

    Spring Game Set For April 20th! (UPDATED: No Spring Game)

    Instead of the annual Spring Game this is more like my annual Pet Peeve. The Spring Game is supposedly for the fans, but not with PJ. Somehow the programs in the surrounding states can execute their Spring Games with the same weather we have, but not us. So, done with it and I'll keep my eye out...

    UCLA moving student section behind opposing team sideline… (kinda)

    Since these are the official numbers based on ticket sales, I assume that UCLA must have an astonishing number of no-shows. I remember the following comments from Troy Ailman back in 2022. “This is an embarrassment but we couldn't fill the Rose Bowl in 1988 when we were the #1 team in the...

    Other B1G Conference Games 2023-24

    Sorry for being late to the party with my comments as I've been out of town all week. I think Lisa Bluder is a very good coach, but not great. In her 23 prior seasons at Iowa she has made 17 NCAA appearances, but with all those appearances she made it to the Sweet 16 twice, the Elite 8 once, and...

    Other B1G Conference Games 2023-24

    There are plenty of distractions on Super Bowl Sunday, but it was great to see NEB take down #2 Iowa 82-79 in Lincoln. Iowa tightened up blowing a 14 pt lead in the 4th Qtr. I think Clark went into the 4th Qtr needing 8 pts to break the record and I don't think she scored in the 4th. I never...

    Rumor: Fleck to be considered for UCLA job.

    If you also take into consideration that the LA market now has 2 Pro franchises and one of them just had Jim Harbaugh walk in the door, things are not looking up. If he gets the Chargers rolling (which I'm sure he will) then UCLA quickly becomes an afterthought as they will always fall behind...

    Rumor: Fleck to be considered for UCLA job.

    It's no coincidence that three of the coaches rumored to be on Alabama's shortlist received pay bumps as a result of their names being mentioned. The coach's greatest tool to get their pay increased is to get on these lists. So, maybe there is a chance PJ is gone, but even more likely is he gets...

    Rumor: Fleck to be considered for UCLA job.

    To say the UCLA athletics dept has financial issues is an understatement. The UCLA athletic department has reported a significant deficit of $36.6 million for the fiscal year 2023, marking the fifth consecutive year of substantial financial shortfalls. The previous years saw deficits of $18.9...

    SEC and BIG Joint Advisory Group

    There are a lot of things that will need to happen to allow the Big1G & SEC to basically take over the college football world and its playoff system. First, on the list for the conferences/schools is to take back control of the NIL process in terms of who is running the show. To make this work...

    Rossi leaves for $1.5 million

    Ok, maybe there's someone who has followed the details of the new Big Ten media deal a lot closer than I have and can explain some details, but how is there any way that we can't pay any assistant coach the money we need to with the tv revenue increase we saw starting in 2023? In the final year...

    The Transfer Portal

    Yeah, I think it is safe to say that the portal has brought a whole new era to the QB position in college football. Until the rules change, every year is essentially free agency for the top QBs and an opportunity to improve your deal (get your home team collective to pony up more $$). All you...

    2023-24 College Football Transfer Portal Thread

    As school's evaluate whether they may move on from a coach they are really going to need to understand what level of coach they can get to replace that coach. In today's portal environment you may find yourself in a total rebuild with half the team hitting the portal right after the...

    B1G Game 5: Gophers host Nebraska (1-14-24)

    This was a great team win today vs a good opponent. If you had told me before the game that GG would go 0-3 and Mara would go 2-17, I would have said they were going to have a really rough day. Good to see Mallory pick up here offense today and a great effort from Janay. You also have to give it...

    Gophers hire TE coach per Ryan Burns.

    I assume there is more focus on an effective TE coach based on the fact that Brosmer appears to like to use his Tight Ends. Below are his TE stats at UNH last year: It's safe to say we would all be very happy if we could see that type of production out of the TE position next year.

    Who will replace Saban?

    I think a lot of coaches understand what it means to be the guy after a legend at a program like Alabama. I've heard people say you want to be the guy after the guy, because right now nothing short of playing for national titles at Alabama will be acceptable to the Bama fan base. I'm sure DeBoer...

    Saban Retiring. Was one heck of a run.

    I definitely get his perspective on the changing landscape of college football. I think Saban will be the last of his kind in terms of longevity and why not get out now when you're 72 and smell the roses a bit. At this point, he has more money than he'll ever need. Looking at what coaches are...

    Gophers schedule a home and home with…

    Eight years from now who knows who will be in what conference by then?

    Saban Retiring. Was one heck of a run.

    The wolves will definitely be at the door with their checkbooks trying to lure a few of their guys away. The Alabama collective better have their war chest built up if they thought this might be coming. Texas and Okla fans have to be licking their chops with this timing. If Alabama just drops...
