    Williams & Blum: Should the Big 12 consider the 4-4-2-2 model?

    I don't find this "nitpicking," at all! The fact of the matter is, the B1G claims to be on par with the SEC. It is clearly NOT. Outside of 2, or at most 3, of the B1G teams, the rest are mediocre or just suck (looking at you Squakeyes).

    RECRUITING: Jett Thomalla (4-star QB commit, 2026) talks Alabama offer

    Georgia or Auburn, probably, yes. Not Alabama. Surprisingly, NIL will slowly be the undoing of Alabama. They don't have the support system (at least not yet) in place to pay much.

    RECRUITING: Cyclones earn commitment from in-state linebacker Will Hawthorne

    Well, to be fair, Nebraska is even more irrelevant than Iowa. So there is that.

    SEC/Big10 Pushing for 16 Team Playoff

    Here's the problem, outside of Oregon, tOSU and Michigan (Indiana was a complete outlier), the B1G is totally mediocre to very bad. Getting 4 automatics is such a power grab. Sorry Iowa, you suck. Suck it.

    2025 NFL Draft

    So, is Sanders just too much of an attitude risk?

    Williams & Blum: Two big recruiting wins for Iowa State, sensitive Matt Rhule

    Never, ever, gets old! If I said I've watched this 20 times, I'm probably low!

    Williams & Blum: Two big recruiting wins for Iowa State, sensitive Matt Rhule

    I agree, but it has to be a cap per sport, not a blanket cap per school. Otherwise, schools without football will have a huge advantage.

    Williams & Blum: Recapping a crazy 10 days

    This is just silly. If sports don't matter to incoming students, then why TF do you think so many kids choose to go to shiate hole schools like Texas or Ohio State? Because they want to "be associated with" a winner (whatever the hell that means).

    Williams & Blum: Recapping a crazy 10 days

    I really wonder who CW is referring to when he said (around 46:40), "He's a bit of a scapegoat. One could make an argument ... that we had a guy on campus a couple of weeks ago who did the same thing;" concerning someone demanding money.

    Stinson Jr. "Spurned" Iowa State?!

    What's done is done. Best thing for the young man is to tear it up next year. If things work out and he is Big 12 ready, see what happens. Good luck to him!

    Stinson Jr. "Spurned" Iowa State?!

    I think most high school players should be aiming to playing at a mid-major, if they are not a top-50 recruit. The reason is that they have better odds of getting playing time and racking up good stats against mid-major teams. Then, they have a much better chance to land a NIL transfer spot...

    Jefferson NOT gone.

    Jefferson NOT gone.

    My prediction: JJ's NIL will be adjusted up and he WILL be a Cyclone.

    Jefferson NOT gone.

    Mods? Can we shut this one down? There is nothing to substantiate this rumor (even it if is true).

    Jefferson NOT gone.

    This thread is too long! I don't see a valid cite that this is a thing. Anyone have one? The only thing I find is a Sports Illustrated link that admits it is just rumor.

    Would you give up football NIL

    My understanding (maybe it's just how I took it) was to take all football money and spend it (for a bit) on basketball. I also said, in today's market, no amount of money can guarantee a Final Four, let alone a Natty. But, I also said that everything, initially, needs to be on the table when...
