Thanks, Darren. Shouldn't Dean Wormer and Narcissus have made the list? Larry - a con man who found a bunch of folk with no street sense that he could bamboozle. Why was a guy with zero college experience hired in the first place? And then the same fools doubled down on the next guy. Tez - disappointing Combine. Came in at 154 pounds and did not have a good 40 time; over 4.5 seconds. Harmon and Conerly both had excellent Combine showings. It's good to be B1G and under the wings of Tony 'Speak Softly and Carry a B1G Stick' Petitti.

A new distribution model would be based on money ball success and game viewer numbers. This is coming to all conferences by the early 2030s or sooner, and could see monied programs having less interest in private equity than needier conference members. Sources: ACC nearing agreement with Clemson, FSU to end litigation SPORTS.YAHOO.COM The agreement would be made in exchange for a change to the conference’s revenue distribution structure and clarity around the grant of rights, sources tell Yahoo Sports. And why continue to litigate when the Power 2 has not put out the welcome mat? Notre Dame is immediately accretive but beyond the Domers?

He is projected to go in the 1st round, possibly 22nd to the Chargers and reunion with Harbaugh. However, Denver has the No. 20 pick and Loveland is high on the Denver board.

Jon Sousa, and 30 Duck, Spot On! In every playoff with a reasonable format since time immemorial, OBD's opponent should not have been sixth ranked TOSU but the winner of the No. 9 ranked Boise State at No. 8 ranked Indiana game. If Indiana had advanced instead of losing at Notre Dame, the B1G would have earned $8M additional dollars. This and Boise State being ranked No. 9 by the committee and 3rd vis the format, is why the Power 2 is pushing for eight assured spots in the field. Thankfully, the current 12-team playoff format is on life support and will be replaced in 2026 by a more sensible format. Scheme versus skill? After the Michigan loss and given another chance, it should be no surprise that the team with the best Blue Chip Roster coming into 2024 won the championship. And the Rose Bowl is not Autzen Stadium, DUH!

We missed the extra point? BUMMER! 😁 Thanks for the coverage of the Diamond Ducks. 👍👍👍

Thank you, Mr. Smith. As I read this article, it was easy to observe that most of the attention was paid to teams in the B1G and the SEC, with some mention of the ACC, and only three B12 mentions if I recall correctly, two in regards to CU and one making mention of Utah's incoming QB transfer. Yet, ESPN scribes are largely up in arms over the B1G and SEC reportedly asking for four automatic qualifiers each in the 2026 playoff field and thereafter. Follow the Market. Follow the Money. In this day and age of expected roster cuts in football and expected cuts in current varsity sports, the B1G and the SEC would be negligent if they did not push for more money from cash cow football where the conferences have more money invested than other conferences. In any business, the leading companies and not lesser organizations lead. BTW, the scribes are making more money than ever. To help out the B12 and the Pac-7 plus Gonzo, are they willing to take a pay cut? 😁

As always, Thank You Mr. Editor! Another B1G thought. Will Penn State with Allar at QB and long-suffering against top teams, James Franklin at the helm, win at least one of its two B1G games against The Os in 2025. 9/27/25 Versus Oregon. 11/1/25 at Ohio State.
