Can Expansion Make Everyone in the Big Ten Better Recruiters? Jul 14, 2022

Show notes

Big Ten expansion is taking over the college sports conversation the last few weeks, including on Locked On Big 10. With so many questions to ask about what are now 16 Big Ten teams and how they will all fit together, Nate Dickinson and John Garcia Jr. take a chance to take a step even further and discuss the impact on recruiting with the latest moves. Can USC and UCLA expand their recruiting circle as Big Ten teams, and is every Big Ten team able to gain from allowing the Big Ten to become a national conference? Even more important, could it hurt a team's recruiting abilities?

Nate asks John his thoughts on all the movement in regard to recruiting, as well as thoughts from some of the recruits who have already talked on the matter. It seems like the conference that is getting stronger is set to get stronger on the recruiting trail as well. Locked On Big 10 -- part of the Locked On Podcast Network.

Ohio State Football's Take on Expansion + The Best (and most fun) Big Ten Pods Jul 11, 2022

Show notes

Everyone in the Big Ten wins with USC and UCLA joining the conference, but only one football program in the conference consistently puts out nationally relevant teams year in and year out. Ohio State football has plenty to gain from adding the two Los Angeles schools, but is there any threat that they pose to the Ohio State dominance? Jay Stephens joins Nate Dickinson to get the perspective from the top of the Big Ten football mountain. Jay says the Ohio State football recruiting dominance could get rivaled by a program with the prestige of USC, but also points out how Ohio State is definitely just as much a winner as any other current Big Ten team (despite having the most to lose).

Later, Nate Dickinson and Jacob Rude go over the possibilities for the future of Big Ten divisions and what could come next. Pods have been one of the more popular options in speculation, so Nate gives Jacob his ideal four pods of four teams that would be best for the conference with 16 teams (and the "fun but will never happen" pods as well).

Will the Pac-12 merge with another conference, and how would that look in a college sports scene alongside the new Big Ten and SEC? Also, who are the best candidates from the Pac-12 to make the move if the Big Ten decides it wants to expand further?

UCLA Was Broke? What Poor Schools Means For Future Realignment Jul 07, 2022

Show notes

With news breaking across the college football world constantly on the potential for more schools to move conferences, we learned that UCLA needed the Big Ten much more than the Big Ten needed UCLA. The Bruins were on the edge of losing sports before agreeing to come to the conference, which changes how we look at the move of USC and UCLA to the Big Ten. Would this have happened if not for the dire situation at UCLA, and is it smart for the Big Ten to take more schools that could be leaning on the conference money for the immediate future. Could a school such as Notre Dame need the same money UCLA did and be closer to joining a conference than we think? Nate Dickinson and Jacob Rude go over all the latest from the crazy news around college football on Locked On Big 10. Part of the Locked On Podcast Network.

The Latest On MORE Big Ten Realignment + The Big Ten's Best 2023 NFL Prospects with Locked On Hoosiers Jul 05, 2022

Show notes

The Big Ten made a big change in adding USC and UCLA last week, and now schools around the country are looking at the possibility of making a move to stay relevant. With the Big 12 and Big Ten rumored to be in more conversations with schools on expansion, Nate Dickinson goes into the latest on what could be next in Big Ten realignment.

Keegan Murray over Jaden Ivey? Nine Big Ten Players Taken in the 2022 NBA Draft Jun 24, 2022

Show notes

The NBA Draft took place Thursday night, with the Big Ten making a big impact on the evening and supplying one of the first surprises of the draft as well. After everyone thought Jaden Ivey would be the first player taken off the board from the Big Ten, Keegan Murray instead stole that spotlight and went with the No. 4 overall pick to the Sacramento Kings. Ivey went to the Detroit Pistons with pick No. 5, and the Washington Wizards selected Johnny Davis with pick No. 10. Ohio State's Malaki Branham fell to pick 20 when the San Antonio Spurs took the freshman, rounding out the conference's first-round picks. In the second round, Caleb Houstan, Moussa Diabate, EJ Liddell, Bryce McGowens, and Max Christie all went to teams across the NBA. Nate Dickinson goes over the surprises and other interesting notes from draft night to start off the day's Locked On Big 10.

Later in the show, Matt Sheehan joins to look at the future of Big Ten basketball with the latest betting odds from BetOnline. Indiana is the new consensus Big Ten favorite among the experts, but does that mean the Hoosiers are the smart bet? Should Indiana be the favorites at this point in the season, or would a bet on Michigan or Illinois be a better bang for your buck? Nate and Matt go over the numbers as the look of next year's rosters becomes more clear. Part of the Locked On Podcast Network.

Who will get left off the draft board entirely and make their starts as undrafted signees? The Big Ten will have its fingerprints all over Draft Day, and Nate and Jacob take one final look at how it all could play out.

Later in the show, Jacob looks at the newly released Big Ten women's basketball schedule for the upcoming season. As we went over with the men's games last week, Nate and Jacob try to decide who will have the toughest go in their 18 Big Ten games this winter. Could it end up helping decide the Big Ten's regular-season champion? Find out on Locked On Big 10 as part of the Locked On Podcast Network.
