    NCAA set to allow direct payments to athletes

    There is one reason, and one reason only to why we are seeing Texas Tech climbing to the top in most major college sports. Despite the loss to Texas in the Softball World Series, both men's and women's teams for Tech are a champion threat for as long as the $'s keep being spent.

    Way Too Early Top 25’s

    Get used to seeing TTech in top 25 (even top 10) in the three main sports (football, men's and women's basketball) given that they are putting top 10 NIL $'s at all three sports. They (and BYU) represent the "buy a championship" aspect of college sports. Of course, all college teams do...

    Safety Tyrell Chatman Commits

    Rhule is taking some serious crap from many of the the sports broadcasters due to the perceived lack of commitment to Nebraska players. But, at this point NIL overwhelms the state loyalty as long as the team wins. Lose and the pressure on Rhule ratchets up fast.

    DeVries tanking for Iowa?

    Well, it was the next step up for him from Drake...actually probably two steps as the Big 12 in Basketball is near if not the top league. Have success there and you can name your school if that is your desire. I still get the idea that he talked with Iowa prior to WV and Iowa simply wasn't...

    Best HVAC company in Des Moines/Ames Area

    Polk County Heating and Cooling will give you a fair bid. They have plenty of experience both small and large and stay away from the gimmick sales. They work out of Polk City https://www.polkcountyheating.com/

    2025 Athletics Update

    Yes, I agree that basically $10 a game is pretty cheap. However, when you compare the $199 to the following: Iowa - $210 (renewal) and $225 (new) UCONN - $225 South Carolina - $225 LSU - $200 Why blaze past the $225 level, especially when $50 a season is not even a blip in the $20M...

    Williams & Blum Pod: ISU raises prices, bowl win, foul play in the CFP?

    You could also lower the SEZ ticket price closer to the regular price if they were that worried. As a long time SEZ member, the alcohol wasn't the sole reason to get tickets there...a very nice perk though. And while the sightlines to the game are certainly worse than being on the sidelines...

    Biggest Swings in a University’s Athletic Reputation

    Ahhhh...the Shockers...where has Wichita State gone? The coaching changes did them no favors...to go along with not being able to upgrade their conference. On the opposite side, really starting to see the impact of media $'s on SEC basketball...so many $'s available to not only go after big...

    CBS Sports Channel

    Spot on assessment. Wife listened in on the post-game and stated, "ESPN never breaks it down like that, although ESPN+ will often show a post-game interview or two." Seems like a promising start.

    What will Iowa state be ranked in the AP poll today?

    ESPN's job is to pump the SEC as hard as they can. They may be right this year, and the Big 12 hasn't done itself any favors at the start. The saving grace here is that the Big 12 losses by the top 4-5 teams are mostly to other top 25 programs. The bigger hit will be to those programs that...

    Arizona State Matchup

    The turnover margin is basically a push...believe ASU is has 2 more turnover recoveries than us. There is a special teams edge to ISU...significantly better FG kicking, both in accuracy and distance, along with a near 5 yard better punt NET average. Also throw in a big difference advantage in...

    Playoffs

    Why not a nice 20 Dec game at Jack Trice watching #8 ISU host #9 PSU? After all, that's the reason they were telling the crowd on the field to leave as soon as possible...right? They wanted the field to be somewhat serviceable in case ISU needs to host. Hey, a guy can dream...
