Locked On Big 10 – Daily College Football & Basketball Podcast

SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey claims the SEC is "way better" than the Big Ten, but recent results spark a fiery debate—has the college football power balance shifted? Craig Shemon spotlights the Big Ten's dominance with three straight national championships, playoff victories over SEC teams, and head-to-head bowl triumphs. Did Alabama’s blowout loss to Indiana and Iowa’s upset of Vanderbilt signal a new era?

Craig explores whether SEC superiority is a myth, especially with Big Ten coaching standouts like Curt Cignetti and rising recruiting powers at Michigan and Oregon. Updates include Oregon’s adjusted non-conference schedule, recruiting news on four-star prospects, and Big Ten baseball and softball teams battling in the NCAA postseason. Should the College Football Playoff expand beyond 12 teams? Can the SEC back up its bravado, or is the Big Ten the new top dog? Sound off in the comment section and join the discussion.

Big Ten football faces a seismic shift as talk of a 70-school “Super Mega Conference” heats up. Could college athletics see relegation like the Premier League, or will tradition—with teams like Ohio State, Michigan, and UCLA—hold firm amidst swirling changes? The panel breaks down the latest bipartisan Congressional proposal that targets NIL regulation, transfer portal chaos, and the Lane Kiffin rule for mid-season coaching exits—all set to upend the college sports landscape. The Big 10 Squad leads a spirited debate featuring bold super conference visions, calls for NIL salary caps, and challenges to schools: “stop being poor” and keep pace in the new era. With player eligibility rulings, coaching drama, and powerhouse programs fighting for influence, this episode asks: Is college football’s future endangered or finally moving toward true competitive balance? Don’t miss exclusive insights on where the Big Ten stands as the sport barrels toward radical transformation.

Texas Tech eyes a seismic shift—should the Red Raiders abandon the Big 12 and push for a coveted Big Ten spot? Bolstered by billionaire alum Cody Campbell’s oil-fueled investment and record-breaking NIL deals, Texas Tech’s rapid football ascent positions them as a prime target for conference realignment. With the Big 12’s $39 million payouts lagging far behind the Big Ten’s $80 million distributions, does staying even make sense for a powerhouse on the rise?

Craig Shemon examines exit fee math, Texas Tech’s bid for AAU accreditation, and whether Tony Petitti’s Big Ten would welcome a new Texas footprint. The episode also covers the fallout from Brendan Sorsby’s costly gambling suspension, the looming Sports Protection Act in Congress, schedule updates that could anger Ohio State fans, and a look ahead to key Big Ten classics. Does Texas Tech truly belong in the Power 2 landscape? The discussion is just heating up.

Big 12 stirs the college football landscape as Iowa State AD Jamie Pollard dares the Big Ten and SEC to quit threatening and actually leave the NCAA. With mounting frustration over massive NIL spending, roster shakeups, and the poaching of head coach Matt Campbell to Penn State, is a true super league war about to erupt?

Craig Shemon breaks down Pollard’s ultimatum, reveals the Big 12’s dire TV revenue challenges, and questions whether the Power 2 are breaking or simply bending the rules. The conversation spotlights recent playoff expansion talks, the future of conference realignment, and the looming fate of ACC and Big 12 programs. Plus, exclusive recruiting scoops on Michigan, Washington’s national QB search, Nebraska's rising fortune, and a top-10 ranking of college football’s greatest game day traditions. Will a seismic NCAA split or Super Conference reshape the college football forever?

College Football Playoff expansion isn’t just about conference pride—it's a high-stakes battle between Fox Sports and ESPN. Are Greg Sankey and Tony Petitti truly calling the shots, or simply puppets for TV network giants hungry for more postseason inventory? Craig Shemon exposes the real power struggle shaping the future of college football, questioning if a bloated 24-team format serves fans or simply drives profits.

Key topics include fan backlash against playoff expansion, the potential impact on SEC and Big Ten championship games, and rising concerns about player safety. Craig Shemon also spotlights Big Ten recruiting battles involving Michigan, Michigan State, Penn State and Illinois, and delivers updates on NCAA baseball and Women’s College World Series action with UCLA, Nebraska, and powerhouse athletes like Caitlin Clark making headlines at the Indianapolis 500. Does increasing the playoff field risk ruining what makes college football special, or is more always better?
