The week, the whole crew is on the pod to discuss the Joey Baker transfer and men’s basketball roster outlook before delving into our Big Ten football coach hot seat rankings. Other topics include: breakfast encounters with James Franklin, college basketball becoming more center-dominated because of the value NBA places on big men, conference schedule draws for men’s and women’s hoops, and holy hell have coach contract extensions gotten out of control.
