The most expensive stadium is the one you don’t build today. I saw that line somewhere and it stuck with me, because it captures exactly what I think about the Big Red Rebuild — the $600 million renovation of Memorial Stadium that’s about to land in front of the Board of Regents. I don’t see […]
With the current transitory nature of college athletics, vibes can shift dramatically from year to year, season to season and even month to month. Programs that finished 2025 on a high note may have flopped in the portal. Programs that bottomed out last year may have had a big-time recruiting haul or hired a new […]
Carl Williams IV signed with Baylor in 2023 as a high 3-star (0.8803) corner having played both ways in high school.

Zachariah Branch enters the 2026 NFL Draft as one of the more polarizing wide receiver prospects on the board. A former five star recruit who starred at both Southern Cal and Georgia, Branch combines elite athletic traits with a somewhat unconventional (some would say uneven) production profile, making his evaluation highly dependent on projection and scheme fit. […]
Steichen & Ballard ALL business with Colts media! IU Spring Game chance to celebrate! Cubs win 7th straight!
Here’s a hypothetical. What if the Jacksonville Jaguars never drafted Travis Hunter at second overall in the 2025 NFL Draft — because they never got the opportunity to? Let’s say, hypothetically, that the two-way phenom decided to take a gap year after winning the 2024 Heisman Trophy and before entering the league. Let’s also assume […]

In Columbus, and for the Ohio State Buckeyes football program, wide receiver excellence is not an exception. It is the expectation. From Garrett Wilson to Chris Olave to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, the program has become a pipeline for polished, NFL-ready talent. Now, the next name in that lineage is Carnell Tate. And what separates Tate is […]
In some conversations with some of my friends and family, we’ve often talked about how politics has turned into sports with the most unathletic people on the planet. The incredible political divide in the country is akin to like living in Toledo or Findlay and dealing with the Ohio State and Michigan Rivalry. The absolute […]
It’s NFL Draft week, and it’s also a very important time for the Notre Dame football program. In a lot of ways, the draft is a validation of a healthy program — although it’s not always the case (see the Miami Hurricanes for most of the last 20 years). Throughout the draft process after the […]
When Virginia Tech head coach James Franklin was speaking to Hokie Nation on Saturday at the annual spring game in Blacksburg, he was fired up, speaking to the crowd and said the 2026 Hokies were going to “shock the world.” Those comments immediately fired up Virginia Tech fans and, of course, brought out the Penn […]

There haven’t been many ACC wins over SEC teams in recent years, especially on the … Continue reading »
Coming into this one, a battle between top-20 ranked teams, one had to figure that both teams would come out throwing punches. After their game a couple of weeks back, one would hope that would be figuratively, not literally. Tucker Timmerman took the mound for his first start since Penn State last season. The boy from Beatrice […]
In just two days, the Chicago Bears might find themselves debating the very choice ESPN’s Mina Kimes just posed to NFL draft guru Todd McShay: if given the choice between Ohio State defensive tackle Kayden McDonald or Clemson edge rusher T.J. Parker with the 25th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, which do you […]
