The Michigan football team holds its annual Maize and Blue Spring Game to kick off the 2024 college football season and begin to defend its National and Big 10 Championship.

NCAA Sanctions Michigan Football for Burger-Gate!

April 17, 2024 08:00 - 28 minutes - 25.6 MB

The NCAA sanctioned Michigan Football for its involvement in Burger-Gate when former head coach Jim Harbaugh met with recruits during an NCAA non-visit period during the Covid pandemic.  Harbaugh reportedly bought the kids lunch at an Ann Arbor burger joint.  All of this would have resulted in a minor NCAA violation but things became serious when the NCAA felt Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh was not truthful about the matter.  Find out what the sanctions are and our opinion about them a...

Brutally Honest Assessment of Buckeyes QB Situation

April 16, 2024 08:00 - 27 minutes - 25.5 MB

Following the Ohio State football spring game here is a brutally honest assessment of the Buckeyes quarterback situation.  Ryan Day and Chip Kelly have high hopes for the 2024 college football season and their team is loaded.  However, Ohio State football will only go as far as their quarterback room will take them.  The Buckeyes have 5 scholarship quarterbacks on the roster and frankly, none of them jumped out and impressed anybody Saturday.  What does this mean for the upcoming college foo...

Penn State Best Receiver Hitting Portal; Caitlin Clark WNBA Draft Tonight

April 15, 2024 08:00 - 25 minutes - 23.4 MB

Penn State football still has a wide receiver problem.  A lack of receivers who could stretch the field and hurt defenses was the difference between them having a very, very good season and having a great season and making the playoffs.  And while they added Ohio State football transfer Julian Fleming they lose their top returning receiver form last season.  KeAndre Lambert-Smith is reportedly entering the transfer portal as soon as it opens this week.  Why?  We explore a list of reasons.  A...

ACC Court Room Drama Affects Big 10 Expansion

April 11, 2024 08:00 - 25 minutes - 23 MB

Big Ten expansion is never far from our college football thoughts and there are two  simultaneous court cases taking place between Florida State and the ACC.  They are suing each other regarding the ACC and their media grant of TV rights deal.  Florida State wants out of the deal and the ACC wants to enforce it.  Whatever happens during these court cases will directly affect the future of college football and future Big 10 expansion.  We will explain where we are in these two cases. MORE CO...

College Football Super Conference Gaining Momentum. Who's In? Who's Out?

April 10, 2024 08:00 - 27 minutes - 25.1 MB

A college football Super Conference idea is gaining momentum but it is nothing like anything you have imagined before.  The idea would also blow up the Big Ten as we know it. One thing is for certain; with Name Image and Likeness and Transfer Portal traffic and billions and billions of TV dollars floating around, there are many "experts" that are certain college football cannot maintain its current hectic pace and survive as is. SUPER CONFERENCE At Locked on Big 10 we do think more change...

April 09, 2024 08:00 - 28 minutes - 25.8 MB

Purdue lost the NCAA Men's College Basketball Championship to UConn Monday night by a score of 75-60.  Zach Edey scored 37 points in his final game as a Boilermaker.  It was their first appearance in the NCAA Tournament National Championship game since 1969.

Caitlin Clark, Iowa Hawkeyes Eclipsed by South Carolina for Title

April 08, 2024 01:04 - 25 minutes - 23.6 MB

Caitlin Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes jumped to an early lead but the South Carolina Gamecocks eclipsed the Hawkeyes title hopes with an 87-75 win to cap off an undefeated season.  The Gamecocks got revenge on the Hawkeyes who ended their season least year in the Final Four. LEGACY Clark scored 30 points in the last game of her career where she leaves college basketball as the sport's all-time leading scorer without a championship ring.  Many will debate her legacy as the greatest ever.  But...

April 04, 2024 08:00 - 26 minutes - 23.9 MB

Does Michigan Football Have a Quarterback Problem?

April 03, 2024 08:00 - 28 minutes - 25.8 MB

Does Michigan football have a quarterback problem?  After all, JJ McCarthy leaves big shoes to fill after an undefeated National Championship season.  McCarthy, Jim Harbaugh, Jesse Minter and almost 20 players head to the NFL.  Now, there is some talent returning to the 2024 Michigan Wolverines but a question remains at the most important position - quarterback. MICHIGAN OPTIONS Alex Orji and Jayden Denegal both saw a little action last season.  Both seem to be the front runners for the QB...

Caitlin Clark and Iowa Hawkeyes Return to Final Four; Dispatch Angel Reese and LSU in Rematch

April 02, 2024 08:00 - 28 minutes - 26.3 MB

Caitlin Clark nailed 9 deep three pointers and scored 41 points as the Iowa Hawkeyes defeated Angel Reese and LSU 94-87 to earn back to back trips to the women's Final Four.  The win also avenges last year's loss to LSU in the national championship game. Angel Reese was slowed by an ankle injury but managed 17 points and a whopping 20 rebounds in the loss.  Now, she must decide if she will join Caitlin Clark in the upcoming WNBA draft or come back to LSU next season.  She might make more mo...

Zach Edey Unstoppable with 40; Purdue to Final Four

April 01, 2024 08:00 - 24 minutes - 22.6 MB

Zach Edey looked unstoppable as he scored a career high 40 points and the Purdue Boilermakers basketball team advanced to the Final Four for the first time since 1980 after defeating the Tennessee Vols Sunday.   Now coach Matt Painter and his Purdue basketball team will face 11 seed North Carolina State Saturday for the right to play in Monday's national championship game.  The Boilermakers have never won an NCAA title in hoops.

2024 LIST: Most Pivotal Football Games; Illinois Basketball is Elite!

March 29, 2024 17:38 - 28 minutes - 25.6 MB

With Spring Football underway we look at every Big 10 team and point out their most pivotal games on the 2024 schedule.  Every game will be a dog fight, but a critical win at the right time of the season can make the difference between a successful season or a disappointing one.  And, by the way, the most important games for the Michigan Wolverines and the Ohio State Buckeyes are not vs each other.  Listen or watch here on Locked on Big 10 and find out what we think.  Agree or disagree!  But...

Michigan Moving On From Michigan Man Tradition

March 28, 2024 08:00 - 26 minutes - 23.9 MB

Are the Michigan Wolverines done with the idea that only a Michigan Man can coach at Michigan?  True Michigan Men Jim Harbaugh and Juwan Howard are gone and their replacements, Sherrone Moore and Dusty May, are not true Michigan Men.  We would love your thoughts on that topic especially if you are from Ann Arbor or wear the Maize and Blue. Did James Franklin have to "punish" new defensive coordinator and former Indiana football coach Tom Allen at practice?  We will tell you what that was ab...

Michigan Football Suffers Awful Spring Injury

March 27, 2024 08:00 - 28 minutes - 25.8 MB

The Michigan football team suffered an awful injury when starting safety Rod Moore went down on a non-contact drill over the weekend during spring football.  Early reports say Moore suffered a torn ACL.  If that's the case, that would require a 9-12 month recovery period so Moore is likely out for the season.  A Wolverine defense that expects to lose up to 8 players in next month's NFL draft, was counting on Moore and his experience to lead Michigan.  We will explore what this means moving f...

SWEET SIXTEEN PREVIEW: Does UConn, Houston, Purdue or UNC fall first?

March 26, 2024 16:00 - 39 minutes - 36.2 MB

The NCAA Tournament has seen a lot of chalk to this point with the four one seeds in UConn Houston, Purdue, and North Carolina staying intact.

Big Ten Fighting to End 24-year NCAA Basketball Title Drought

March 22, 2024 08:00 - 25 minutes - 23.7 MB

The Big Ten has not hoisted a men's NCAA Basketball Tournament championship banner since Michigan State won in 2000.  That is 24 years.  That is a long time.  We'd like to make two observations here:  A Big 10 team HAS appeared in the NCAA Championship game 7 times in the last 22 years.  It is not like they have not been in the mix.  They have just come up short.  A lot!   OFFICIATING! Another observation, or an explanation really, for the Big 10 college basketball shortcomings in the NCAA...

Ryan Day: Ohio State Football Run Game will be Different; Spartans, Illini Tip Off NCAA Action

March 21, 2024 08:00 - 27 minutes - 24.8 MB

Ohio State football coach Ryan Day commented publicly for the first time on running backs coach Tony Alford leaving for the same gig with Michigan Football.  He was pretty low key so we will read between the lines.  Day also said the Buckeyes running game will look a lot different under new offensive coordinator Chip Kelly.  What does that mean?  We will try to figure that out on Locked on Big 10. NEW NEBRASKA AD Meanwhile, Nebraska found its new Athletic Director days after Trev Alberts a...

Clemson Lawsuit vs ACC Means Big 10 Expansion Soon?

March 20, 2024 08:00 - 25 minutes - 23.2 MB

Clemson, like Florida State, is trying to sue its way out of the ACC.  Does this mean Big 10 expansion will be sooner than later?  We think so.  Clemson filed a lawsuit this week against the ACC and its Grant of Rights Media deal and says the $130,000,000 contract buyout is ridiculous and unfair and they want out of the conference.  Florida State filed a similar lawsuit in December.  Now that the two most valuable schools in the ACC want out, what is next?  We think if they win their cases, ...

Nebraska Football Coach Matt Rhule is Calm Amid Chaos; March Madness Begins

March 19, 2024 08:00 - 27 minutes - 25.1 MB

While March Madness and the NCAA Tournament begins for men's and women's basketball, Nebraska football coach Matt Rhule finds himself in the middle of a storm in Lincoln.  Athletic Director Trev Alberts is leaving Nebraska to take the same job at Texas A&M.  Ironically, both the Nebraska men's basketball and women's basketball teams drew Texas A&M in their respective brackets Sunday.  That was strange, huh?   STORM AT NEBRASKA So, in the middle of what was supposed to be Matt Rhule's intro...

Big 10 Ready for NCAA Tournament with 6 Men's, 7 Women's Teams

March 18, 2024 08:00 - 25 minutes - 23.4 MB

Six Men's and seven Women's Big 10 teams are going to the NCAA Basketball Tournament following Selection Sunday.  On the Men's side the Purdue Boilermakers earned a top seed and will play the winner of Montana State vs Grambling State.  And the Boilermakers get to play close to home in Indianapolis.  After looking at the brackets, we think the Nebraska Huskers and the Wisconsin Badgers have the best path to a deep run. CAITLIN CLARK On the ladies' side, Caitlin Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes ...

Chip Kelly Force Tony Alford Out of Columbus?  Nebraska AD Trev Alberts Gone

March 15, 2024 08:00 - 25 minutes - 23.6 MB

Did new Ohio State Buckeyes Offensive Coordinator Chip Kelly force Running Backs Coach Tony Alford out of town?  And was Head Coach Ryan Day ok with it?  Alford had been in Columbus since 2015 under Urban Meyer.  He was a strong fixture on the Ohio State football staff and a great recruiter.  And all of a sudden, he left the program during spring football to take the same job with arch rival Michigan!   What are we missing here??  It seems like there was a conflict between Kelly and Alford. ...

Penn State Football Coach James Franklin is Wrong! Find out why.

March 14, 2024 08:00 - 24 minutes - 22.6 MB

Penn State football coach James Franklin is wrong about something.  He said there would be no changes to his annual spring football plans because the new, incoming Pac-12 teams (Oregon, Washington, USC, UCLA) are basically the same offensively as Big 10 teams.  Wait!  What?  We strongly beg to differ and we make our case.  By the way, just because we have a strong difference of opinion does not mean this is a rip piece against Franklin.  Locked on Big 10 believes James Franklin is a very goo...

More Big Ten Expansion as Soon as February?  Find Out How!

March 13, 2024 08:00 - 25 minutes - 23.5 MB

Just as the Big 10 expands to 18 teams, more schools could be coming with additional conference expansion as early February 2025.  That's in 11 months!  How could this happen?  There is something that could expedite the implosion of the ACC and those teams will be frantically looking to jump to the Big 10 or the SEC.  Tune in to Locked on Big 10 with Craig Shemon and find out what that event could be!  Here's a hint; it has to do with ESPN.

Ryan Day and Ohio State Football Eye Pressure Cooker 2024

March 12, 2024 08:00 - 26 minutes - 24.6 MB

Ryan Day and the Ohio State football team faces a world of pressure in 2024.  The Ohio State Football season feels like championship-or-bust at this point.  And spring football is here so that means we get our first look at how Ryan Day and his Buckeyes are forming for the giant task at hand. This offseason has been full of transfer portal, recruiting, and Name, Image and Likeness news.  Not to mention, the Bill O'Brien to Chip Kelly switch at offensive coordinator.  We are not sure all of ...

Caitlin Clark and Iowa Hawkeyes 3-Peat Big 10 Tournament Title; Eye Top Seed in NCAA Tournament

March 11, 2024 08:00 - 26 minutes - 24.2 MB

Despite trailing most to the day, super star player Caitlin Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes came from behind to force overtime and beat the Nebraska Cornhuskers to win their third straight Big 10 Women's Tournament Championship Sunday with a 94-89 victory.  It didn’t come easy as Caitlin Clark missed her first nine three-point attempts and the Iowa basketball team trailed by 11 points at the half.  But Clark scored 30 of her 34 points after the break and now wait to see if they will be a number ...

Can Big Ten Remove Underperforming Conference Football Schools?

March 08, 2024 09:00 - 26 minutes - 24 MB

Would the Big 10 ever cast aside its underperforming football schools?  Everything regarding college sports has been about expansion.  Could the Big 10 kick out schools like Indiana, Purdue, or Rutgers?  Would the SEC kick out a school like Vanderbilt?  The lower performing schools are not in a position to win championships and they don't bring in as much revenue or garner big TV ratings like some of their more popular counterparts.  Yet, they still collect $75-100 million dollars a year fro...

Dylan Raiola Going to Work for Nebraska Huskers Matt Rhule

March 07, 2024 09:00 - 26 minutes - 24 MB

Quarterback Dylan Raiola and Nebraska Football coach Matt Rhule are quietly working together to lift the Huskers toward the top of the Big 10 in 2024.  Rhule isn't ready to name his 5-star freshman the starter just yet, though.  He wants him to get his feet wet and learn how to be a college student first.  But Raiola is working behind the scenes doing everything he can to help this Nebraska football team as much as he can.  We will get our first look at Raiola in the Huskers Spring Game on A...

Can Matt Painter Survive if Purdue Boilermakers Bounce Early…Again?

March 06, 2024 09:00 - 25 minutes - 23.7 MB

Purdue basketball coach Matt Painter wins games.  He wins a lot!  In fact, his Purdue Boilermakers just won their second consecutive outright Big 10 regular season championship.  Matt Painter and his Boilermakers are shoo-in to land a number-one seed in the NCAA Tournament later this month.  But Purdue basketball has a problem.  Neither Painter or Gene Keady have hung a national championship banner in Mackey Arena.  This is despite the fact Purdue Basketball is really good almost every year....

Big Ten Media Days Schedule Released: Story Lines on EVERY Football Team

March 05, 2024 09:00 - 30 minutes - 28.1 MB

The Big Ten just released its college football Media Days schedule in Indianapolis in July.  It's time for March Madness now and Spring Football hasn’t started yet, but once Big Ten Media Days get here it means college football is here!  We can already imagine Commissioner Tony Petitti welcoming the Oregon Ducks, Washington Huskies, UCLA Bruins and USC Trojans to the league.  We can imagine the press conferences with Ohio State football coach Ryan Day answering questions about his championsh...

JJ McCarthy Turns Heads At Combine; Caitlin Clark Does It Again!

March 04, 2024 09:00 - 28 minutes - 25.8 MB

Michigan football quarterback JJ McCarthy impressed a lot of people this weekend at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis.  Many debate if McCarthy will be drafted in the first round.  After all, he didn’t get to show off his skills on a Michigan football team that ran the ball a lot and protected big leads on the ground.  However, with the Combine and McCarthy's scheduled Pro-Day in Ann Arbor he will get plenty of opportunity to show off his arm and his charm!   CAITLIN! Caitlin Clark and the ...

Big 10 Controls Playoff Expansion; Caitlin Clark Going Pro!

March 01, 2024 11:00 - 25 minutes - 23.7 MB

Big 10 Commissioner Tony Petitti controls the additional expansion for the College Football Playoff.  Just as we settled on expanding to 12 teams a couple weeks ago, we are now headed toward expanding the college football playoff to 14 teams.  One would wonder, if this is inevitable, why not jump to 16?  A lot of this fails to make sense and it absolutely continues to water down the importance of regular season Saturday afternoons!  Be assured that whatever is decided, the Big 10 will be in ...

Wisconsin Football Big Spring Plans for Luke Fickell

February 29, 2024 09:00 - 24 minutes - 22.1 MB

The Wisconsin football team is getting ready for spring football as Luke Fickell starts his second season in charge of the Badgers.  Fickell wants an air-raid offense but he's got to get better play at quarterback.  Tanner Mordecai was not the answer.  The plan for 2024 is to use Miami Hurricanes transfer Tyler Van Dyke to lead the Wisconsin football offense.  Van Dyke is talented but erratic.  Another talented quarterback already on the roster may get a shot at the starting job and that is ...

Can Kirk Ferentz and Iowa Football Repeat 10-Win Total?

February 28, 2024 09:00 - 28 minutes - 26.5 MB

Kirk Ferentz and Iowa football over-achieved their way to 10 wins and an appearance in the Big 10 championship game last season.  Despite a true lack of offense and injury after injury the Hawkeyes continued to win games.  Give a lot of credit to Kirk Ferentz.  As far as coaches go, he's a pro's pro.  Sadly for him, he had to fire his son Brian Ferentz as the team's offensive coordinator.  Tim Lester will call the offense in 2024 but he will enter spring football without quarterback Cade McN...

Does Dan Lanning have a Heisman QB at Oregon?

February 27, 2024 09:00 - 30 minutes - 27.7 MB

Dan Lanning and the Oregon Ducks have so many aspirations in 2024 it's hard to keep up.  Oregon Football expects to win the Big 10 in its first season.  Oregon football also expects to win a national championship as well.  Oregon has a loaded football team but they will have a new quarterback.  In fact, they will have two new quarterbacks with Oklahoma's Dillon Gabriel and UCLA's Dante Moore.    Whoever wins the starting job will have big shoes to fill.  Bo Nix threw 45 touchdown passes and ...

Pressure on Nebraska Huskers Freshman Quarterback Dylan Raiola?

February 26, 2024 19:00 - 24 minutes - 22.5 MB

Matt Rhule and the Nebraska Cornhuskers hold their annual Red-White Spring football game soon.  And there will be a lot of pressure on incoming true-freshman quarterback Dylan Raiola who flipped from the Georgia Bulldogs at the last minute to join Nebraska football.  Nebraska football is dying to get to a bowl game, something they haven't done since 2016.  Rhule had a decent Huskers team in his first season in 2023.  But they never could get right at the quarterback position.  That's what ma...

USC Trojans Miller Moss Ready for Big 10?

February 23, 2024 09:00 - 25 minutes - 23.4 MB

USC Trojans quarterback Miller Moss debuted with a 6 touchdown performance filling in for Caleb Williams in the Holiday Bowl. It was his first career start. Can he continue with such dominating performances? Spring football for Lincoln Riley and the USC Trojans is right around the corner so we may learn a bit more sooner than later. So, who is Miller Moss? He didn’t have extraordinary stats in high school and he hasn’t played that much in two years at USC. We don't have a lot of intel on his...

How Nick Saban Led to Michigan State Troubles; Jonathan Smith Will Fix Things

February 22, 2024 09:00 - 25 minutes - 23.2 MB

Michigan State football has a long way to go. Jonathan Smith has a big job to do and try to turn things around. While previewing the upcoming spring we will look back at how former Spartans coach Nick Saban indirectly led to today's problems with the Michigan State program. This is more of an amusing look at history and not a criticism.    And, by the way, the first half of the Spartans 2024 football schedule is rough. If they are planning on discovering who they are, they better do it quic...

Can Michigan Wolverines Win 4th Straight B1G Title?

February 21, 2024 09:00 - 24 minutes - 22.7 MB

The Michigan Wolverines will look to win their fourth straight Big 10 Championship in 2024. However, as spring football approaches the Michigan football team will look a lot different from 2023. That difference starts with the head coach Sherrone Moore taking over for Jim Harbaugh and his first job is to name departed quarterback JJ McCarthy's replacement. Oh, and about twenty players from the 2023 team will be drafted by the NFL in two months. There should be an ample supply of players read...

Ohio State Football Must Name Starting QB Early!

February 20, 2024 09:00 - 28 minutes - 26 MB

Ohio State football coach Ryan Day must name a quarterback early in his Title-or-Bust 2024 season. The Buckeyes get an early start to spring ball and hold their annual Scarlet and Gray game at noon on April 13th. Unlike last season, five quarterbacks will compete for the starting job. One is a 5th year transfer, two have been fighting to gain footing on the Buckeyes depth chart for a season and two are 5-star recruits ready to show Columbus what they can do.  Plus Michigan basketball coach ...

Penn State Football Must Revamp Offense; #2 Boilermakers Lose

February 19, 2024 09:00 - 28 minutes - 26.1 MB

Penn State Football started winter workouts last week and Spring Football is around the corner.  James Franklin and his team must revamp their offense if they want to take the next step forward and become an elite program. They are close! Only the Michigan Wolverines and the Ohio State Buckeyes have been in their way. Good News: There is no Michigan football on their schedule this year as the Big 10 will no longer have divisions. Ohio State is still on the slate and so is Big 10 newcomer USC...
