It’s not just TV rights — they don’t want to have to deeply know and cover 40+ teams every season instead of the usual 5-10 blue-blood programs. College football playoff news, national media, 24 team playoff, SEC bias, Big Ten football, ESPN vs Fox, Bud Elliott Cover 3.

Plus: 5-star WR Manchon Sales snaps back at Indiana prediction, top Big Ten basketball NBA draft decisions (Jeremy Fears Jr., Andre Stojakovic, Merez Johnson Jr., Tunde Yesufu & more), and Big Ten Bible Study on Peter walking on water (Matthew 14:28-30).
