That would make the SEC and ACC jokes too based on common opponents.

Indiana might be legit. Thing is, they don't play OSU and neither does Oregon. So, if they hang on to win here, I guess we'll see if they're legit in the playoffs?

Does PSU fire James Franklin?

Franklin is owed more than $49 million, per his contract.

The former AD at PSU signed Franklin to a 10yr $85M contract. Easily one of the worst contracts in CFB.

I watched the end of UCLA's big upset (PSU, right?) and the cameras kept switching to Jerry N, and I was like "Is he the new coach?"
All the press is about Jerry. I've heard nothing about Skipper.

Me either and I follow all sorts of B1G media.

Also, maybe we should settle down the hype train. They've beaten PSU who Northwestern beat in Happy Valley and a really bad Michigan State.

Their final stretch is Maryland, (3)Indiana, (25)Nebraska, (1)OSU, (Would be ranked at 5-1 if they were an SEC team)Washington, and (20)USC.

Let's see what they do in those games.

USC and TTUN pushing back on B1G capital deal.

I believe I agree with them.

It's a band-aid that solves no problems, and looming legislation make jumping into this short sighted.

Yeah, but considering the first 3 games, it's still a miracle.

Right? The cat is out of the bag. The whole system needs to be changed immediately, which probably includes salary caps.

That I find hilarious because we'll be right back to schools paying players illegally to win.

Time to ask for an anti-trust exemption from congress! Actually, the NCAA may already have one, unsure. Google says they do not, but legislation is pending.
