Worth reupping with Week 1 upon us: Did the House settlement give the Big Ten a structural advantage in talent acquisition and secure a golden age for the conference? https://t.co/b1fcQckI7y

The Big Ten is better equipped to thrive than other conferences in the aftermath of the House v. NCAA lawsuit settlement.

Our new Big Ten power rankings: What if the DeShaun Foster fiasco was an unwitting, inadvertent stroke of genius? Because based on the UC regents agenda, it appears the embarrassed Bruins are getting serious.

There is no chance USC would still be talking to Netflix without a wink/nod from the Big Ten. None.
USC is still having discussions with Netflix, a source told @latimes, and still looking at non-traditional options for the 2026 meeting w/ Notre Dame, despite other reports suggesting the Big Ten shut it down

I'm not sure what this is exactly, but it's something to behold --->
During UCLA’s win over MSU, AD Martin Jarmond tried to spin to @latbbolch that he deserved credit for the team’s turnaround, then complained about Ben’s reporting, before circling back to claim (wrongly) it was all off-the record. So Ben wrote about it

JUST IN: The Purdue Boilermakers are the preseason No. 1 in the men's AP Top 25, followed by Houston, Florida, UConn and St. John's to round out the top five. Here's the full ranking, via the AP: https://t.co/1io8HdAHkV

Good context from Matt. To think Adidas orchestrated/funded the Franklin move is next level stuff, even for college football's lunatic fringe
The adidas contract with Penn State doesn't even go into effect until the summer of 2026, and they're not dropping fifty million in cash on anybody. That's around the neighborhood of what Penn State might get over the *entire length of a shoe deal*, not up front!

Saturday Night Five: The Big Ten is turning into the Big 12, and we are here for it https://t.co/CJdyD5o1uS

The conference has turned wildly unpredictable in recent weeks, and we’re here for it.

This is a big loss for the Big 12. Williams was central to the Big 12's take-no-crap voice on social media that resonated with fans and supported the schools, which we examined last month https://t.co/XGuCGWQFBi
mercurynews.com
The conference’s account on the social media platform X is not afraid to clap back on inaccuracies or questionable narratives.
SMU will soon announce the hiring of Big 12 VP of communications Clark Williams as its new senior associate AD for branding and strategic communications. Williams helped lead Brett Yormark's branding, expansion and media campaigns over the last several years.

Latest 'Canzano & Wilner' pod with @johncanzanobft was recorded live from Autzen following Indiana's win. We discussed that game, Oregon St, UCLA and loads more, including big games this wk (hello, Holy War) https://t.co/aepcDWesf8

No joke. Rolovich is a super-sharp offensive coach who relates well to players, knows the NW, will attract QBs and has won at OSU’s new level (at Hawaii). The politics are over. Beavers can’t risk hiring someone who will have to learn on the job.
@wilnerhotline I’m going to assume that was a joke.

Penn State isn’t going to spend its private capital money on James Franklin’s’ buyout because the money was spent years ago (Similar situation at many Big Ten schools)

UC regents have called a special meeting (closed session) to discuss, among other things: compensation for the UCLA HC search. I take that to mean the Bruins want to spend substantially more than they have spent before. (Note: Bob Myers is both a regent and a member of the search

SOURCE: Penn State is firing James Franklin following a third straight loss. Franklin went 104-45 across 12 seasons with the Nittany Lions, but was 3-3 this season after a preseason No. 2 ranking.

The cost of keeping him was greater than the cost of firing him
Oregon State has fired head coach Trent Bray, a team source confirms. Beavers are 0-7. (@PeteThamel was first.) More details coming at https://t.co/LGGLloIg2r.
