    Great read on the Balogun reinstatement process: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7424432/2026/07/06/folarin-balogun-donald-trump-gianni-infantino/

    RIP Coach Jim Walden

    If you had a choice of all the HCs between Earle and Campbell with a given amount of talent to coach up, I would have picked Walden over Duncan, Criner, Danny Mac, Chiz and CPR to best maximize that talent. Walden was truly a victim of the lack of University support for FB with the Steve Lester...

    RIP Coach Jim Walden

    Danny Mac was frankly lucky to have kept the ISU job when shortly after he was hired, it was revealed he had some domestic issues that would have precluded him from ever being hired as Iowa’s HC.

    Cyclone Fanatic Fast Food Championship

    Interesting results given that Wendy’s is closing stores all over the country. And Jersey Mikes has replaced Chick Fil A as the USA’s top rated fast food restaurant.

    Congress needs to tell the SEC and B10 to go eff themselves regarding #8 and #9.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    7th paragraph, last sentence. Nothing changes in 2031-32 (as long as Fox has majority BTN stake) except expiration of CBS and NBC sublicense deals which were primarily negotiated by Fox execs.

    Tyrese Haliburton injury update: Pacers star adds 30 pounds

    That article fails to disclose that Hali got shingles during his Achilles rehab and impaired his recovery. That is primarily why he gained the weight.

    Given your inability so far to provide anything valid to dispute the AA column, you’re going to have to accept they got conned.

    ….and the article also states that as long as Fox owns the majority stake (60%) of BTN, they control the B10 media rights including beyond 2032 and have little desire or incentive to double media revenues for conference members.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Fox doesn't lose control as long as they maintain majority stake in BTN. Until that happens, Fox is holding their Puppet Boy Petitti hostage and is the underlying reason why they are telling the B10 to not support PCSA.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Wrong, primarily due to Fox's excessive control of game selection as primary rights holder. Multiple industry analysts and reports indicate that CBS and NBC overpaid for their respective shares of the B10 media rights deal. The financial terms represented a significant premium as sublicensed...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Doubling/tripling media revenues now isn't important for Michigan (or anyone else in the B10)? That is another asinine hot take from your end. Fox doesn't have the financial resources to double B10 media revenues when the current deal expires. And as you're now well aware, as long as Fox...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Those comments don't mean what you think they do? LOL, WTF is that? Not surprisingly, you missed the primary point of the Athletic's column which was addressing the following self-serving BS from the Michigan President especially given that PCSA passage would better enable media revenue growth...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    This column perfectly describes the avoidable obstacles facing college sports. The dip$hit Michigan President would rather maintain his existing competitive advantage rather than support PCSA which would have increased the odds of retaining May and at least double their existing revenues while...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    This news will likely have realignment implications especially if a deep pocketed buyer like Google, Apple, Amazon or Netflix acquires NBCUniversal as a result of this spinoff. This news is probably good for the B12 and ISU:

    They aren’t exactly best buds with the Feds right now and if/when PCSA gets passed, NFL is best served cooperating with CFB if CFB makes more money by doing so. No difference for NFL to move Saturday games from 3rd to 2nd weekend in December and Feds could facilitate that as required.

    My counter was primarily done to highlight the vast challenges with trying to squeeze in a 24 team playoff so that it completes by January 10th. Your proposed schedule highlights the exact same issues described in Dellenger’s article. A 16 team playoff can accommodate 2 Friday night and 6...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Your proposal here has two major issues => jamming 8 games in one day and too many (and unnecessary) conflicts vs NFL games. And if you have QF games at bowl venues, one week of prep for fan travel to those venues will drastically decrease attendance for those games.
