Locked On Big 10 – Daily College Football & Basketball Podcast

Penn State may have cost quarterback Drew Allar millions—did James Franklin’s program derail a top NFL prospect’s career? Craig Shemon unpacks how coaching decisions, offensive schemes, and a lack of dynamic receivers hampered Allar's development, ultimately dropping his draft stock from potential top-five pick to a third-round selection. Was the Nittany Lions’ system fundamentally flawed for a talent like Allar?

Craig Shemon highlights Terry Smith’s candid comments on how “decisions were taken out of [Allar’s] control,” explores Penn State’s offensive struggles, and questions whether staying an extra college season did more harm than good—potentially costing Allar $40 million. Plus, get a preview of Matt Campbell’s upcoming season with transfer QB Rocco Becht and a look at Penn State’s challenging Big Ten schedule. Can Drew Allar rebound in the NFL, or will Penn State’s missteps define his career?

SEC commissioner Greg Sankey stands as the only barrier to Tony Petitti’s push for a 24-team College Football Playoff. Could the postseason be on the brink of chaos?

WWE President Nick Khan shakes up the college football world with claims it could out-earn the NFL—if given unified leadership. Could a "WWE-style" approach make the Big Ten and other conferences bigger cash cows than pro sports? What if WWE President Nick Khan ruled college football?  And how would that effect Big Ten football?  Craig Shemon uncovers Khan’s sharp criticisms, the fractured state of college football media rights, and how influential figures like Big Ten Commissioner Tony Petitti and SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey are keeping the sport from reaching its financial ceiling.

Key highlights include the Safe College Sports Act, eye-opening viewership numbers, debate over college football’s lack of a true commissioner, and insights from Jason Whitlock on Khan’s unrivaled business acumen based on his leadership of World Wrestling entertainment and his past baground as an entertainment talent agent.  Plus, updates on Big Ten recruiting battles, the Indiana gambling scandal with Brandon Sorsby, and Michigan basketball’s aggressive transfer moves. Can new leadership and bold ideas propel college football to new heights—and will the Big Ten seize the moment?

The defending national champion Indiana Hoosiers may be gearing up for an even stronger 2026 campaign as coach Curt Cignetti raves about his squad’s upgraded defense. Despite key NFL departures like D’Angelo Ponds and Aiden Fisher, the Hoosiers reload with returning standouts Tyrique Tucker, Mario Landino, and added edge rushers Toby Osunsanmi and Chiddi Obiazor from Kansas State. Can any Big Ten offense crack Bryant Haines’ unit, ranked third nationally in points allowed last season?

Host Craig Shemon examines the Hoosiers’ defensive depth, coaching continuity, and the buzz surrounding Fernando Mendoza’s offensive leadership. Discussion touches on Indiana’s soft early schedule against North Texas, Howard, and Western Kentucky, plus how injuries to playmakers like Charlie Becker could impact early momentum. As Indiana eyes another Big Ten title run, listeners are invited to weigh in—could this be the best Hoosier defense under Cignetti yet?

Michigan Wolverines rocked by new allegations: Paige Shiver breaks her silence, claiming the athletic department prioritized the football season over her well-being during the Sherrone Moore scandal. Did Michigan leadership ignore warning signs for the sake of the college football season? Craig Shemon dissects Shiver’s explosive statements, Moore’s rapid fall from offensive coordinator to fired head college football coach, at Michigan football and the internal fallout threatening Michigan’s reputation in the Big Ten.

The conversation shifts to spring football standouts, with Oregon Ducks’ Dylan Raiola and Evan Stewart electrifying fans, while Big Ten programs like Wisconsin and Ohio State navigate quarterback shakeups and draft success. Key takeaways include Nebraska’s $600 million stadium revamp, rising stars such as Tommy Carr, and the conference’s dominance in the NFL Draft. Locked On Big Ten delivers essential updates, sharp analysis, and audience-driven opinions on the ever-evolving college sports landscape.
