  • Did the Big Ten Conference Make the Right Decision Cancelling the 2020 season?

    The Big Ten Conference has decided to pull the plug on the 2020 Football season choosing public health over college football Saturdays. Leaving many to wonder was it the right decision and where is the consistent leadership in college football? The conference is hopeful of playing in spring 2021. With this decision, the Big Ten has become the first Power Five conference to decide not to play this fall amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The Pac 12 conference decided shortly after the Big Ten announcement to proceed in the same direction, axing their football season out west too due to the pandemic. Big Ten coaches -- including Ohio State's Ryan Day, Michigan's Jim Harbaugh, Penn State's James Franklin, and Nebraska's Scott Frost -- publicly advocated for playing the 2020 season. However, their pleas and those of Big Ten players were not enough to change the collective minds of Big Ten leaders. Therefore, simply stated what’s the future of college football at large. Harold Shelton III is the Manager of Research at the Big Ten Network. He joined me this week to discuss the situation in further detail.

  • James Roberts Shares his Inspiring Journey as a Paralympian

    James Roberts was born with a congenital disability called femoral dysplasia of the left leg; also known as Proximal femoral focal deficiency (PFFD) or as Congenital Femoral Deficiency (CFD), is a rare, non-hereditary birth defect which affects the pelvis, particularly the hip bone, and the proximal femur. The disorder may affect one side or both, with the hip being deformed and the leg shortened. As well as a floating hip and scoliosis of the spine.  It took him longer to learn to crawl, to walk with the aid of an artificial leg that was fixed at the knee and with the support of a zimmer frame at first, and "to be able do things my able-bodied peers took for granted."   He struggled to come to terms with his disability as a teenager, whereby in the hot spring and summer months in high school, he wouldn’t wear shorts. Even though I wore shorts in PE. It wasn’t until it dawned on me that the only person this was affecting was me, so something had to change. James joined me this week to detail his inspiring personal journey which ultimately allowed him to win in later life & go on to represent my country at 4 World Championships as well as 2 Paralympics."
