Fox Announces 2024 Friday Night CFB Broadcasts
SP+ has Oregon ranked No. 3, 2nd in the B1G behind No. 2 Ohio State. Purdue is ranked 72nd, and 15th in the B1G. As Charles notes above, Michigan State on Friday before the Ohio State game and Purdue on a short week is a good trade-off. Friday night games on Fox, CBS, and NBC are likely to draw B1G viewing audiences. The B1G Friday night games will likely open the coverage on Fox's Big Noon preview show and also be covered by ESPN's College Gameday.

NCAA Close to Settling House Litigation for $2.8 Billion - GULP!
Lots of details are still to be worked out regarding Title IX, the effect on G5 athletic departments that gross $40M or less every season, roster reductions for football, the hit to nonrevenue sports, will athletes receiving payments be 'employees,' if the athletes are employees will a union be formed to resolve such matters as unrestricted transfers and what will college sports 'management consist of, and whether Congress will provide relief from future antitrust and other litigation. Hats off to the Power 2 conferences and NCAA president Charlie Baker, for leading the way toward the settlement of House and two other attendant antitrust suits that could have bankrupted the NCAA.

Wow. I Guess it's True. "Butt" this Opinion is Like They Say, Everyone has One . . .
What, pray tell, does Molly do for a living? However she makes her money, I wonder how many future bets she has made on these off-the-ceiling picks? My guess? Nada. Think Molly will be back on December 3. 2024 to publically account for these picks? Have you ever seen Mel Kiper give himself a grade for his mock draft compared to how the draft came down? But Mel is quick to assign draft grades to the folks doing the picking. Often wrong but never in doubt. But THIS 'stuff' gets clicks. Thanks, Steven A. for the perfect headline for this post. Good Golly, Miss Molly has a broken crystal ball.

Fox Announces 2024 Friday Night CFB Broadcasts
If you want the money you have to pay the dues. It was understood by all 4 Pac newbies that the Left Coast was likely to be saddled with several+ Friday night games and late kickoffs on Saturday. For example, the Rutgers at SC game kicks off at 11 PM Eastern. Cannot alter geography. This is true of the NFL as well as college football. However, no matter when the games are played they will be watched and reported pre and post-game by a viable conference network, Fox, CBS, and NBC. Michigan State is a 'look ahead' beware game and at Purdue is a trap game. Perhaps purposely balanced out to give Oregon a leg up in one case, and the opposite in the other case. It could be far worse, Oregon could be playing B12 conference games on Friday nights and being covered as a 'minor league' team behind the SEC on ESPN and behind the B1G on Fox. I do understand and share your pain. But cheer up, living on the Right Coast means that many the sporting event starts far too late.

College Football News Ranks the B1G's Football Coaches

College Football News Ranks the B1G's Football Coaches
Danno ranked third is a tribute to his program building to date and Oregon's potential, not on conference titles won, playoff appearances, and longevity. If he pays any attention to this stuff, I doubt Iowa HC Kirk Ferentz is happy about being ranked 7th, especially after firing his son as OC after the lad's offense turned the Hawkeyes punter into a 4th round draft pick. https://collegefootballnews.com/news/big-ten-college-football-head-coach-rankings-preview-2024 Dan Lanning will have the chance to start moving on up in the B1G and in the nation this season. With Harbaugh Charging off to LA, I understand and support Ryan Day being numero uno. But another coach in LA coming in second is based upon Lincoln Riley's past as much or more than the USC's program's future. Like Dan, Riley has yet to win a conference title since he left Norman for Traveler. Riley does not have the roster advantage he had in the B12 where a litany of Texas coaches did not recruit at a conference-title level. Vanquish the Vandals!
