Why is anyone scheduling this at a neutral court?
Michigan basketball went big and scheduled its Dec. 5 matchup against Louisville at Little Caesars Arena, home of the Detroit Pistons (rather than the usual Crisler Center) Here is the Ticketmaster map exactly 30 days till tipoff. (On resale, the get-in price remains flat at $80 - ticketdata.com/events/167218…)

Haley Stevens made the gutsiest move I’ve seen in my political life today. Nothing but respect.

Why can’t Halloween always be on a Saturday? Let’s just make it the last Saturday of October every year. I can’t imagine any parent of a child who participates in trick or treating not supporting this change.

Trunk or Treats are fun. They shouldn’t replace Trick or Treating, but there’s no reason kids can’t do both.
My updated theory on the Trunk or Treats is they have been created to cater to today’s increasingly soft, grit-less, anxiety riddled, easily bored, sensory issues having kid. Parents have snowplowed an easy, low stimulation, low expectations, zero adventure choice for Halloween.

They sold out the gameday experience for TV. They won’t even tell you the time of the game until a few days out now. How are folks supposed to plan for that? Getting babysitters for “TBA” is extraordinarily difficult.
I feel theres an attendance problem in college sports right now You turn on a game that isn’t SEC/BIG10/Mormon/Trailer Park community with nothing to do but Sonic, Drive In Movie Nobody will be there I see like 50 of these tweets every Saturday all across the country

Eric Weddle should win an award for the most correct take of all time.

Wish colleges would get back to putting the opposing bands on or near the field. So much cooler than dumping them up top.
Bringing some color to the White Out. #BeatTheLions

Hmm.
I’m gonna be so real with you guys. I’m really afraid our best days are behind us. This roster stinks. And we do not have the NIL it takes to spend our way out of this. Not to the level we’d want to anyway. I don’t think this gets better anytime soon.

Not really that complicated. You have two main issues: 1. Backloaded schedule. 2. Watered down product due to Big Noon nonsense. ESECPN works hard to make their night games an “event” worth watching. The Big Ten wastes its best environments on noon games. It’s idiotic.
The Big Ten is winning National Championships and making more TV money than the SEC. But there is a growing problem... The widening gap in TV ratings and the quality of the TV product itself, compared to the SEC, has many hitting the panic button. awfulannouncing.com/college-…

Thr non-con games were generally awful this year. 🤷‍♂️
College football viewership is down 11% through September compared to last season. FBS game broadcasts are averaging 1.7 million viewers across all Nielsen-rated networks.

How has it taken this long for the national folks to realize the horrendous nature of Big Ten officiating?
It shouldn’t surprise anyone that maybe the Big Ten just put a lil’ teeny thumb on the scale to protect their favorites. The fact that they’re doing this for Indiana is a massive development.

We’re like a month removed from the “it’s unfair the SEC has to play the SEC!” narrative. Now, the games are such a joke teams have to do drills between snaps. Impressive transition.
BREAKING: Georgia practices during TV timeouts because opponents are giving them “enough work” 😳 Come to Georgia and practice during live SEC road games. DAMN!

The opposition to the Protect College Sports Act seems to be getting stronger. Will it be enough to prevent its passage?

Walked into Michigan Stadium yesterday and it was almost empty of ads. No sponsors on the board or press box. No titles, no retired numbers, no Hall of Famers. Just “Michigan Stadium” and the Block M on the canopies. OU’s Jordan logo on our sideline canopy was more branding than they had. Wild for a 100k stadium.

Does it say something about the current state of the SEC that Michigan fans rush the field for a win against a MAC team, but don’t against an SEC squad?

Michigan spent considerable time, energy, and cash promoting a “Maize Out”, but has a field emcee who cant even bother to wear maize. Who’s in charge at the AD?
