    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Correct. None of the current schools in the SEC or B1G will be leaving except to break away into a super league. There is zero reason to willingly remove oneself from the most resourced conferences. In fact only UChicago (dropped FB in '39) has left the B1G while GT and Tulane left the SEC in...

    Big 12 FB Media Days

    I don't read his commentary that way. His commentary on Iowa and Vandy is in the "Most likely to regress in 2026" section of the article, right beneath his ISU comments. Additionally, his SEC preview has Vandy projected at 6.5 wins.

    ***2026 Iowa State Football Season Thread***

    Bill Connelly has his Big 12 preview out for ESPN based on his SP+ projections. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/49001728/2026-big-12-college-football-preview-predictions-top-transfers-more Iowa State Cyclones Head coach: Jimmy Rogers (first year) 2026 projection: 64th in...

    Big 12 FB Media Days

    Connelly does say that article that 2026 is a reset year for both Iowa and Vanderbilt with each having to replace 14 or 15 starters. The main difference is neither of those teams had to replace an entire coaching staff.

    Big 12 FB Media Days

    Yep. Bill Connelly's SP+ factors in transfers for returning production and he has different factors based on position, what level a transfer is coming from, and if players are coming with their coaches. By his numbers ISU is 102 out of 138 nationally in returning production. From the P4, only...

    Uniform Sponsor Patch - Iowa State

    I will accept Re/max if they agree to bring the Cyclones hot air balloon back

    Easy to say with hind sight, but it would really nice to have Cam Smith still.

    Uniform Sponsor Patch - Iowa State

    If I had to make a realistic guess, probably Principal, Wellmark BCBS, or Farm Bureau. All are HQed in Des Moines. Principal

    Big XII options for sanctioning Texas Tech

    That is fair. And there is an alternate timeline where this is all occurring at LSU, which would have been another wild element on top of a bonkers year for them.

    Big XII options for sanctioning Texas Tech

    If only there was some sort of legally binding document that allowed for provisions to be set between two parties about behavior and conduct. That sort of thing really could have helped in a situation like this.

    Big XII options for sanctioning Texas Tech

    We have seen gambling scandals in both the NBA and MLB in the last year. In those instances, players were suspended from future competition by the leagues. The players did not have any legal avenue to combat those suspensions because they are employees of the league who are bound to contractual...

    Big XII options for sanctioning Texas Tech

    Tech is guilty of either not having thorough enough due-diligence or willingly recruiting/paying a player who has bet on games where that player is a participant. That being said, neither Cincinnati nor Indiana should get a pass here either. Obviously the Big12 has no say with Indiana, but...

    Big XII options for sanctioning Texas Tech

    The other party(s) that needs to be heard from in all this is the media partners. Are Fox/ESPN willing to broadcast games where the validity of the outcome could be in question because Sorsby is on the field? Are they willing to allow the league to remove any inventory involving Tech? The TV...

    Big XII options for sanctioning Texas Tech

    I think most realistic is for Tech to forfeit any conference payouts for any games where Sorsby is rostered/dressed. That is max 10 games. And Tech might be fine with that, so long as the have sugar daddy Campbell. For the post-season, the CFP should just come out and say that they will not...

    Chicago Bears bought Arlington Heights track only to build in Indiana?

    Until the team sells the Arlington Park site, or there is structure going up in Hammond, I am not taking anything that Kevin Warren or George McCaskey say at face value.

    Chicago Bears bought Arlington Heights track only to build in Indiana?

    Something else to consider: Arlington Heights site to Halas Hall (Forest Park, IL) is 20 miles, while Halas Hall to Hammond is 60 miles.

    It is worth noting that the NCAA does not have any official ties to the CFP or the FBS national title. The only D1 NCAA championship in football is for the FCS.
