Dennis Dodd - CBS - sec-big-ten-developing-plan-to-share-revenue-with-players "The model being discussed by college sports' top conferences could go a long way toward settling outstanding lawsuits" . The impact of revenue sharing will have a major impact on what institutions will be able to be...

I'm intrigued by what the future of revenue college sports will hold, particularly for the Big Ten. I also have an interest in how things will shake out for the ACC / Big XII members. In my effort I gathered data from websites related to memberships, facilities, football attendance, football...

When the pairings came out it was somewhat universal that Iowa, as the 2nd number one seed, got the short straw in terms of difficulty. The Portland 4 region where Texas was the number one seed proved to be the weakest of the 4 regions. Texas by far had the easiest path to the elite 8. Based on...

I'm still upset with the tactics that West Virginia's coach employed on Monday night. He harmed to the growth of women's basketball by turning it into a turnover foul fest on the national stage. He is another Bob Huggins coach from West Virginia. As an older sport fan I remember a number of...

Iowa is past the half way mark for the 2023/2024 basketball season. A review of the team statistics really explains why Iowa is below .500 in the conference and has no quad 1 wins. The team could improve as they have 3 of the 4 most difficult games out of the way based on current standings. When...

01-10-24 Purdue vs Nebraska - Nebraska shot lights out in this game and Hoiberg used zone in this game and got away with it. Edey got pounded in this one. The refs let a lot physical play go on in the paint area. Nebraska has a lot of older players that are very physical. 01-11-24 MSU vs...

Charlie Baker, NCAA has sent letters to colleges proposing a separate division for the Group of Four. NCAA - Plan to Pay the Players Currently there are 59 universities making up the group of 4. Basically if you spend $100M+ you're in that group. There will still be a huge difference between...

I know Men's basketball has some low attendance games. Living in Central Iowa I could make 6 o'clock starts work since I'm retired. Games starting at 8pm and getting over at 10 doesn't.

The Hawkeyes are 3.5-point favorites in their matchup with Illinois. Over/Under 30.5 Below are some stats from the NCAA. If Hill can match his Rutger's pass completion numbers the offense should be able to keep Illinois off the field and the defense stop the Illinois passing game there should...

Further Disruption Coming Dodd raised these Questions: All of the questions are legitimate, but some of them stem from the media rights bubble bursting. In the article he writes about 40 schools making up the top level. Personally I think it gets down to about 20 schools making up a Tier One...

Good: Obviously winning is always the good. The offense scored almost more points than in the first two games combined. However, it may have been a result of the level of competition. In the limited time Deacon Hill was at QB he seemed a lot more comfortable and had good numbers, 2 of 3...

The Iowa Football Program starts it 134th Season if the framed poster of players with leather helmets on my den wall is correct. The program is 15 wins from the 700 mark and I hope to be here during the 2024 season to when that 700th win might come. The period between 1963 and 1979 really...

A nice discussion of Phil's performance as a head defensive coordinator. I wonder what the evaluation would say about BF.

For me I dislike the physical style of defense that is played in the modern era. I like the high scoring games that are up and down games. I've given it some thought and there are two kinds of fouls; defensive and offensive. There are not as many offensive fouls called as defensive and in a...

Below is a glance at what lies ahead for teams competing for the top 4 slots in the B1G Tournament. Based on schedule difficulty it is most likely Purdue, Indiana, Maryland and Illinois will get the advantage of not playing on Thursday. Iowa could match Illinois but it can only afford one loss...

Thanks for all the hard work you put in to get this far under very unusual circumstances. Your efforts are deeply appreciated on my part and many fans' part. While the season ended before you and your fans wanted it was still the best season in the last fifteen. A third place finish in the...

Today's game is somewhat anti-climatic to the end of the season. Both teams know where they stand going into the B1G Tourney and NCAA seating. I do think Iowa should be more motivated than Wisconsin. A strong finish by Iowa would draw a better seed in the NCAA tourney and keep the 3 seed from...

Iowa will not win the regular B10 Season Championship but it could tie Illinois for 2nd place. Iowa has to win out and Illinois lose out. Illinois has to play @Michigan tonight, the 1st of March, and @Ohio State on Saturday. Iowa Plays Nebraska on Thursday and Wisconsin Sunday. One Iowa win...

There are really only 5 teams with a chance to be in the top 4: MI, OSU, Ill, IA and Purdue. OSU and Purdue have only 4 games to play before March 8. Michigan and Illinois have 6 to play and Iowa 5. Iowa can clinch 4th with a 4 and 1 finish. It must win at one against Michigan or Ohio State...

On the morming of 2-4-21 Nebraska is faced with playing 15 games in 30 days. Michigan State is faced with playing 11 games before March 7, which is the end of the regular schedule. If Michigan is unable to resume play until 2-17-21 they would have to play 11 games in 18 days. The fair solution...
