    Williams/Blum Pod: It's time to start talking the next round of TV contracts

    Random thoughts from another sports media geek: I've heard rumblings (I believe Jon Wilner from the P12) that the Big 10 is likely to go all in with Fox just as the SEC is now all in with ABC/ESPN... As far as being worried about inventory for ABC/ESPN, they're only picking up 1 game a week...

    2021 Stock Market

    not saying this won’t happen, but VW doubled, came back to normal, then rose to 5x normal price. Even if you optimistically use $20 as Gme “normal” price, the price went to over 20x “normal”. I’m not sure this is a great comparison if we’re saying VWs initial wave at 2x is equal to GMEs...

    PODCAST: Legends Episode: Dan McCarney

    I remember in 1995, there was a radio station in Ames giving away free tickets to the ISU-Ohio game 3 times a day for a couple weeks plus you could come to their free tailgate. You had to be like the 7th caller or something. I was callers 1, 2, and 3. On that third call the guy just gave me...

    Louisiana Kick Time?

    Thought it was interesting that Kansas has a 9pm kickoff. That won’t end until after midnight.

    Louisiana Kick Time?

    I think you’re right that at least for FOX over the air network we’ll see more 11am kicks

    Louisiana Kick Time?

    The thought was kick times were supposed to go out today. This guy is on top of it as anyone in the country and he thinks we won’t see anything today. Now watch it will come out in a few minutes from this post!

    SI: College Football Leaders moving to cancel season

    Was just about to post this article. I thought Nebby back to the B12 was a 0% chance of happening but after reading that I’d give it a 5-10% chance.

    Missouri Valley Football to postpone til Spring

    Newsworthy as it looks like South Dakota is out as an opponent. MVC was only one of 5/13 conferences left for the fall and kind of got forced into this as it appears the FCS championship being cancelled for the fall with less than 50% participating. Edit: there is a link to the original...

    NCAA FB Dominoes Continue to Fall

    Pioneer League, which is the FCS league that Drake plays in, is out. That puts only 5/13 FCS leagues left and there will be no FCS playoffs this fall. It’s up to the remaining 5 leagues (one of which is Missouri Valley with S Dakota, UNI, NDSU) to decide if they’re still going to play in the...

    NCAA FB Dominoes Continue to Fall

    That is huge news. That means the FCS is right at that 50% mark which means it looks like the FCS season is about to be moved to the spring. No S Dakota state game. All FCS games remaining for the B12 or ACC should be off.

    ISU-BYU this year???

    Can’t see it happening, but sounds like BYU is trying to sell Pollard on a game. I thought I heard Okie State was adding them so maybe the author got us confused for OSU? Anybody prefer BYU? The Cougars are reportedly talking to several Big 12 schools, including Iowa State and Oklahoma; as of...

    Pac-12 plans massive loan program to bail out athletic departments

    So last year the PAC12 looked into a partial equity purchase to increase cash now but decided against it. This article says at least part of the reason it didn’t happen was because the potential partners wanted to see a 25-30 year grant of rights. Thought this quote was interesting: “They...

    North Shore MN recommendations

    Trip report: 1. So I must’ve convinced a few of you to go as well since I probably saw clone gear from about 10 people compared to just one hawk hat and not too much golden gopher apparel. 2. We used the AllTrails app to plan the hikes and it was great. Bought a year subscription and...

    Possible news: NCAA split and Pac12 players strike

    Didn’t see anything posted on some major potential news: 1. Power 5 splitting from the NCAA to justify a football season? Some interesting quotes in here. https://www.si.com/college/2020/08/01/power-5-exploring-staging-own-fall-sports-championships-2020 2. Supposedly a group of PAC12...

    Who do we Replace Iowa WIth?

    So there are already 4 B12-SEC non conf games scheduled. Texas-LSU, OU-Tenn, KSU-Vandy, Baylor-Old Miss. When you take out Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, and S Carolina, that leaves Texas AM, Missouri, Miss St, Auburn, Alabama, Arkansas. Geographically it makes a lot more sense to partner up...

    Who do we Replace Iowa WIth?

    was just going to post the same given the geographic proximity you could have the sec and B12 partner for a year and divide up the teams geographically? Probably never happen but you could have a pod with ISU, Kansas schools, Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma schools? Playoff at the end of the year...
