Locked On Big 10 – Daily College Football & Basketball Podcast

UCLA Basketball implodes as Mick Cronin ejects his own player and clashes with media, sparking debate about his future. Is Cronin’s fiery approach wearing thin, and did UCLA make a costly mistake by extending his contract? Locked On Big Ten Squad tackles Cronin’s meltdown, comparing his antics with Tom Izzo and Matt Painter’s leadership styles, and questions whether postgame outbursts are damaging UCLA’s reputation. The conversation heats up as ESPN rumors swirl about Ohio State, Michigan, and Penn State potentially leaving the Big Ten to cash in on their own alliances. Hosts weigh the risks, benefits, and scheduling headaches of a league without its top brands, while panelists analyze Pat Fitzgerald’s impact at Michigan State and debate whether his hiring truly deserves “worst of the cycle” status. Don’t miss candid insights on Big Ten football’s wild future and the turbulent coaching carousel.

The episode explores why mega-brands like Michigan declined past equity deals, the value of collective strength versus individual gain, and the latest on quarterback recruitment changes. Basketball takes the spotlight too, with reflections on Mick Cronin’s heated exchange at UCLA, Wisconsin’s upset against Ohio State, and upcoming Michigan-Duke matchups.
Could Big Ten tradition be at risk? Get the latest insights on conference drama, player moves, and key games shaping the college sports landscape.

The Michigan Wolverines surged to the top of the AP Top 25 with a $10,000,000 NIL-powered roster, dominating college basketball under Coach Dusty May. Can Yaxel Lendeborg and Trey McKenney sustain the Wolverines’ winning streak through a daunting Big Ten schedule, including a showdown at Mackey Arena against #7 Purdue and a neutral-site battle with #3 Duke?
Craig Shemon breaks down Michigan’s historic rise, Dusty May’s turnaround from two seasons ago, and the significance of a football school investing heavily in basketball. The episode highlights Purdue’s high-octane offense, Wisconsin’s resurgent backcourt, and recruiting updates from Penn State and Washington. Key themes include coaching strategies, NIL spending disparities—especially at Ohio State—and the Wolverines’ path to breaking the Big Ten’s title drought. With power rankings, Tuesday Tweets, and must-see TV matchups ahead, the question remains: Is Michigan poised for a championship run?
