Not to mention both have been a thorn in the side of the Big Ten elite since joining.

The NCAA has ruled only Zippy cookies in the oven by 11:43:02pm EST on 9/11 can make an appearance, limiting the overall selection. To be determined if the 12th Circuit Court of Appeals in Alaska will have an appeal in time. (This is pretty much college athletics in a nutshell - crazy)

Shockingly, officiating potentially cost us that game as well with the PI in the end zone not called against Michigan in the final seconds. Michigan vs. Oberlin in 1892 has been a precursor for all these controversial results ending in Michigan victories. It was agreed upon prior to the game that 4:50pm would be the official end so Oberlin could catch their train home. Oberlin was up 24-22 and the referee (Oberlin substitute) called the game at 4:50pm and Oberlin left the field. An umpire (a Michigan supporter) said the time was only 4:46pm, so Michigan stayed on the field, ran another play that resulted in a 4 pt touchdown, and claimed victory. The following year, Oberlin coach John Heisman became the head coach at Buchtel (now the University of Akron).

@Illini Zip keeping up with the scholarship chart amid all the news/uncertainty.

They have a sponsor name for their head coach title? Oy vey.

Seems like they are perfectly content getting whatever scraps they're being tossed by the P4s.

Holy Wake Forest. Got their asses kicked by Akron and took out all their anger on poor old Duke.

Find me the commissioners with the balls to make this happen. That was my point.

If the Big Ten told Steinbrecher to lick white dog 💩, he'd be like a kid in a 90s candy commercial. Between Wistrcill siding with Stankey and the consistent lap dog behavior from Steinbrecher, it's hard to see a future where the G5 has the balls to improve their situation.

Correct. I don't know where the other roster spot is coming from if he ends up being eligible. Oriol is part of the Georgia case which has SEC backing so he should, theoretically, be a lock.

Dumb. If this is a possible outcome, then the adults in the room need to have more foresight to move the game up and avoid any potential weather issues. Minimal revenue sports in 2026 shouldn't be wasting money on trips that end in no contest.

Mahaffey is ineligible.

There is no bigger joke in sports than the NCAA.

First of all, how in the world is this any different than Mahaffey? Second of all, WOW can he score. 20.9ppg and 40% 3P.

I dislike the egocentric behavior as much as the next person but these younger generations have been raised in a society that enriches people from these behaviors. Society is one big marketing campaign. Want the behavior to change? Use your time, energy, & wallet to affect the change. You can only control your own actions. Either help end the marketing campaigns altogether by not contributing to their revenue or shift what sells by rewarding the qualities you align with. It's so stupid to complain about younger generations that are a byproduct the environment we've all created. For every "disloyal turd" college athlete, there are 10 "disloyal turd" coaches that came before them and enriched themselves via "disloyal turdness." For every untucked jersey, there are 10 people that figured out a way to make money off others' contrarian, flashy behavior. Being torqued at younger generations does nothing but solidify the moral shift. Hilariously enough, this discussion is part of the reason I was raised an Akron fan. In addition to being the son and grandson of Akron alumni, the differences between Akron and Kent are constantly pointed out. For example, one school has a pep band that wears polos and khakis; the other pep band wears tshirts.

What a weird "man yells at clouds" topic.

ACC Network which is part of the ESPN family.

Almost 24 hours until kickoff and we still don't have confirmation on who the QB is? Wild gamesmanship.

Maybe there's some method to the madness of testing ourselves on the road vs. a team we should be. So often our non-MAC road games are with teams on par or a step above us and we're trying to do two things at once - beat a competitive team AND learn how to win on the road.

What Ohio State honk is running these rankings? From unranked week 1 to #6 in week 3 with 0 ranked wins.

Nice performance by Georgetown. Would have to imagine they and Akron will be the class of the Big East based on the early results. Also, thank you UCONN for destroying WMU.

This is a near perfect summation of where this team is at. Well said. - I do however disagree about Bunch's physicality. I love it. I want his intelligence to improve but his physicality is much needed. So far, the defensive strategy vs Akron is either to pack the box or be physical on the ball. Bunch helps keep that at bay; he's a smaller Haaland when it comes to contact, not going down easily, etc. - Agreed on Sears and our entire wing/midfield attack needs to be more aggressive in general. Attack the space at the top of the box more and fire more shots on goal. Do that and Remi will start to feel the freedom up front. - Really hate our set pieces in general. That needs to improve. - The sky is the limit with this team; should be a very fun season!
