  • JR’s UofMichigan issue

    JR spent a whole podcast talking about Dusty May’s potential departure to the NBA rumors….he didn’t do the research to know that Dusty’s youngest son attends UofM and is a sophomore student manager on the basketball team. This is information easily seen on May’s Wikipedia page, numerous articles written this year, and even addressed on the Paramount Plus Made For March documentary.

    JR has consistently shown lack of knowledge when it comes to UofM athletics (as another example being UofM’s succe... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

24-Team CFP Winners and Losers: Iowa Becomes January Fixture?
Q: How would a 24-team playoff affect regular-season importance across different Big Ten teams?
It would raise the stakes for more teams by ensuring that more combinations of losses and wins could still keep a team in the playoff race, increasing fan engagement and sponsor interest across the season.
Why Ohio State’s Schedule Is Actually Tougher Than Texas’s (SP+ Got It Wrong)
Q: What stands out in the SP+ rankings for this comparison?
The panel notes Texas at the top and several SEC teams nearby, then discusses Ohio State's high ranking and whether the gap over Texas is justified, emphasizing the need to examine context and evaluating methods.
Big Ten Tournament Bracketology | Recruiting Update | Ted Carter OUT At Ohio State
Q: What is the overall impact of Ted Carter's departure on Ohio State and the Big Ten's direction?
The hosts argue that Carter's exit removes a powerful advocate for aggressive conference control and expansion, potentially slowing expansion efforts and shifting decision-making dynamics toward alternative leadership options, with Ross Bjork stepping into a larger role; the ripple effects could affect NIL governance and strategic athletics budgeting across member schools.
Big Ten Tournament Bracketology | Recruiting Update | Ted Carter OUT At Ohio State
Q: Do any Big Ten teams need wins in the tournament to make the NCAA tournament?
The guests discuss Indiana as the primary bubble team that needs wins, potentially running the table or securing multiple quad-one wins to stay ahead of Big Thieves; Iowa and Ohio State are considered safely in due to strong resumes, though late results could still threaten with the right upsets elsewhere.
Big Ten Tournament Bracketology | Recruiting Update | Ted Carter OUT At Ohio State
Q: Which Big Ten teams can improve their seeding the most with multiple wins in the Big Ten tournament this week?
Jason Carmelo explains that Wisconsin has a strong chance to improve by moving from the sixth seed toward the four line, while UCLA could also push into the seven or better depending on outcomes, with seed movement highly sensitive to who wins or loses ahead of them.
