Locked On Big 10 – Daily College Football & Basketball Podcast

Big Ten Commissioner Tony Petitti shakes up college football with a bold push for a 24-team College Football Playoff and elimination of conference championships. Is this major expansion a game-changer or a blow to the sport’s tradition? Craig Shemon dissects Petitti’s “23 plus 1” model, revealing how powerhouse leagues like the SEC, Big Ten, ACC, and Big 12 are clashing over automatic qualifiers and playoff structure. The plan sparks debate: will ushering in more at-large bids and on-campus playoff games elevate the postseason—or cheapen regular season rivalries like Michigan–Ohio State?
Craig Shemon delivers pointed analysis on the implications for league revenue, TV contracts, and the fate of historic rivalry games. Find out how teams like Notre Dame and Group of Six schools could benefit, why the proposal faces resistance, and what’s next as Big Ten athletic directors and coaches weigh in. Get the latest locked-on insight as college football faces its biggest playoff overhaul yet.
