Telling us there's a chance? Aug 19, 2020

Show notes

Just when we were ready to give up on the idea of Ohio State playing football this fall, Jeff Snook reported late Tuesday night that Gene Smith and Ohio State are leading a charge to try and get a total of six Big Ten teams to play a 10-game, round-robin schedule that would begin in October. Will this plan work? Matt Baxendell joins Dave Biddle on today's show to discuss this idea in detail and whether it's possible it will happen.

Also, the Buckeyes picked up a commitment from high four-star athlete Dasan McCullough on Tuesday, adding to their already-impressive 2022 recruiting class.

All of that and more is in store for you on the Wednesday 5ish.

Solo on sideline? | Latest on McCullough, Goodwin, Vernon Aug 18, 2020

Show notes

Pee wee? Check. High school? Check. NFL? Check. Ohio State? Checked out. Four levels of football in Ohio and as of now only the Buckeyes will be sidelined. Is this possible? Oh, and will Ohio State also have to watch as SEC, ACC and Big 12 teams actually ... you know ... play football? We hit that and then skew positive to talk recruiting with Duane Long. Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters.

What is next step for Big Ten, Ohio State? Aug 11, 2020

Show notes

The Big Ten was reportedly on the verge of canceling its 2020 football season on Monday, until an avalanche of backlash came the conference's way. There were even head coaches in the Big Ten threatening to leave for a different conference for this season if the Big Ten called off it season. The Big Ten's presidents will meet today at 10:30 a.m. and a decision is expected after that.

What will the outcome of the meeting be? And what exactly happened on Monday with all of the information (and misinformation) that was out there?

Duane Long joins Dave Biddle for that and much more on the Tuesday 5ish.

The 2020 college football season appears to be in limbo after a weekend meeting among the commissioners and presidents of the Power 5 athletic conferences.

Which begs the question: Why is what the players and their parents want seemingly being ignored by college administrators?

Bill Kurelic joins Dave Biddle to discuss all of that on today's show, and of course we talk a lot about recruiting as well.
