TweetPenn State is commonly referred to as Linebacker U. The football program has been a linebacker factory over the course of the program's history, and for good reason. For all of the great players who have played at Penn State over the years, quarterback has rarely been one of the stronger positions before the arrival [...]

TweetBut I think the image is changing for Wyoming. I am not anywhere near saying we have a Boise State clone in the making, although I would definitely encourage the program to emulate the Broncos as closely as possible without losing their identity. But over the past couple of years I think Wyoming has taken [...]

TweetBig Ten schools are once again cashing some nice paychecks this year, although the total income from revenue splits took a little bit of a dip now that Nebraska is eligible for a full conference payout.

TweetThe end of major conference realignment and the NFL draft: two more areas where the Big Ten took apparent black eyes last month. The ACC teams signed a Grant of Rights that effectively dashed the Big Ten’s hopes of moving farther south, and the Big Ten was nearly shut out of the first round of [...]

TweetThe College Football Playoff is just around the corner and conferences from coast to coast are working to find strategies to bolster schedule strength and conference profile.

TweetTake a look at the Big 12 schedule for the 2013 season, and try to find a school that has a more favorable schedule than the Baylor Bears.
