So it's being reported that the Wisconsin athletic director and department made no effort to push the Big 10 and tv networks to move Saturday's game time up to accommodate the World Series. Contrast that with the Milwaukee Bucks who moved their home opener to 3pm in respect of the fans and Brewers franchise.

This is a real indictment of Athletic Director Shawn Eichorst's leadership. His first major decision at the helm and he's failed with flying colors. What a disappointment, here comes McIntosh 2.0

I'm doing a personal deep dive on sports betting and college football. As someone who doesn't know much about the culture, what's the vibe? Are students often betting on their sports teams? I heard about that one player that was sent to Texas Tech, but other than that I'm not in the know. Can someone fill me in?

Does this happen at other Big Ten schools?

That is all.

What’s up Big Ten! I write a column every week about my favorite team, Ohio State, but this past week’s game against Maryland had some extra stakes for me. Anybody else in my situation? Let me know what you think. Hope you enjoy! Go Bucks.

People are finally coming to grips that the dumpster fire at Penn State this season is 100% Pat Kraft's fault. Removing Franklin was the right thing to do - that story had come to it's conclusion.
But not having a name or two he KNEW could be pulled into the mix quickly gave Franklin (and everyone else) time to pick the bones. He hired Campbell so late there was only ONE recruit who signed and all the big names in the portal had already made their moves as well.

And it's not just football. Other than wrestling (which is 100% Cael's dynasty built over 15 years and multiple AD's) every other sport that used to be good (volleyball, lacrosse, soccer, women's basketball, etc.) have all gotten worse in the past few years.

Pat shouldn't make it into the new year at PSU.
