This is an astoundingly terrible idea, of course. Can’t imagine how anyone who actually likes or understands college football would support it.

Sources: The Big Ten has begun populating an expanded College Football Playoff idea, which could include 24 or 28 teams. Just an idea at this point.

“Counterintelligence.” “The KGB.” “Dirty Film.”. Michigan’s infraction report read like a spy novel but left plenty of contradictions and unresolved questions, including the NCAA’s ability to punish anyone these days. Story on @espn with @PeteThamel .

Chris Partridge was fired by Michigan in 2023 during the advanced scouting scandal. He always maintained his innocence. Wound up cleared by the NCAA investigation and was not sanctioned. Quite an exoneration for the current outside linebacker coach of the Seattle Seahawks.

MMA was once banned in 36 states - and on pay per view. Next July 4, the UFC will stage a full care on the south lawn of the White House as part of the country’s 250th birthday celebration. Only in America.

With John Daly hanging out in the parking lot, the Hooters near Augusta National was a tradition unlike any other. Now it’s closed. A small change in how the increasingly luxurious Masters, and maybe all of American sports, is being experienced.

Augusta's everyman appeal loses out in the quest for luxury, exclusivity and money.

Appreciate @jimrome having me on to spread the word about “financial sextortion.” It’s a heavy topic for sports radio but there’s a reason he’s the best.
