The Oregon Duck Mascot Spends a Day At the Big Ten Network Offices
Wager on where the Duck will splash in Las Vegas, beginning on July 22nd. My money's on the pool in front of the Bellagio. 😍 Someone please inform B1G HQ that Indy in late July is better for the B1G media days. Vegas in December is better than Indy for the B1G champ game. 🥵

Let’s go ahead and at least get him north of 1000 career passing yards before proclaiming him generational. He’s not even top-100 yet.

Has Texas Tech, with zero conference titles to date, and Chairman of the TT Board of Regents, oilman Cody Campbell, replaced OBD and Uncle Phil as the front runner trying to buy a championship?

Finebaum: "Arch Manning is the Best College Quarterback Since Tim Tebow"
Manning career: 12 games played, 66.3% completions, for 969 yards, 9 TDs and 2 Ints. I think the fine(baum) print we are missing is that Arch Manning is the best QB named Manning since Tebow!

College Football Playoff Controversy: Time for Big Ten Commissioner to Explain his Radical Proposal
Every Commissioner Wants What's Best for Their Conference, But Let's Kick the B1G to the Curb. Why should anyone have any faith in a committee that last season ranked a team with a SOS in the 80s as the ninth best team in the nation? Will the committee adopt and publicly disclose the metrics it uses, and state the reason(s) why it ignored the metrics when this is the case? This ranking screwed over ASU, but the B12 commish is just fine with the committee, if, which is rarely pointed out in the articles, demeaning Tony Petitti, the ACC, and the SEC play nine conference games. That's a B1G caveat. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2025/07/09/college-football-playoff-format-big-ten-plan/84493690007/

House v. NCAA Settlement Payments on Hold Amid Legal Challenge from Female Athletes on Title IX Grounds
Steven A., I'm with you, my friend. However, in the capitalist system we have in the USA, very few items are price-fixed, and very few salaries and other payments, are fixed except as agreed to pursuant to collective bargaining. Athletes had a chance to file complaints against the House settlement being approved, but other than roster-size issues, Judge Wilkins ignored these challenges. I don't see such complaints being ignored in a court, state or federal, considering an antitrust claim(s). To date, in college athletics, the folks receiving revenue-sharing payments are not 'employees' according to the NCAA and the people writing the checks. Therefore, there is no group with management to bargain with. Why should the folks writing the checks have any right to decide that 'market value' is less than some entity is willing to pay for an individual's NIL? Public corporations, if not found to be a 'booster' of a program, can pay whatever they so choose for a player's NIL. Is NIKE a booster of OBD? How can this be the case when NIKE has deals with NCAA members from coast to coast? If public corporation payments, no matter the amount, are fine, then what right does the NCAA have to restrict payments from any source? What right, without the payees' approval, does any entity have to restrict an athlete's right to earn all of the money he or she can? If a group is stupid enough to overpay for an untested athlete's NIL based on potential performance, why isn't this the 'market value' an athlete and his agent have been able to bargin for? The decision to crater an athlete's NIL deal based on a 3rd party's decision of what defines 'reasonable market value' is on its face, reasonable. But said decision will not withstand an anti-trust challenge, and not withstand a challenge based on collusion and price-fixing, and will not withstand state laws prohibiting enforcement of the House settlement. Many of the institutions that 'supported' the terms of the settlement were ready to keep NIL deals confidential based on FERPA, fears of the loss of federal dollars, and because they can. Why these entities supported the settlement in the first instance is baffling. When the challenges come, I want to be sitting at the plaintiff's table.

Not so fast my friends . . . wide open deals should still be on the table? House attorneys slam NCAA and power conferences over denied NIL deals, issue legal warning about settlement - Yahoo Sports Evidently a "valid business interest" is offering an insane amount of money to keep a player's name/image/and likeness from going to another school.
