BIG 10 SQUAD: The Big 10 is BOYCOTTING Texas Tech | How this affects Iowa Jun 11, 2026

Show notes

Big Ten powers rally against Texas Tech over Brendan Sorsby’s controversial eligibility fight. As the Red Raiders attempt to play Sorsby despite NCAA regulations, Big Ten schools refuse all non-conference competition, igniting a heated debate about integrity, NIL chaos, and the role of judges in college football. Is this a Texas Tech scandal, an NCAA crisis, or a sign the sport is spinning out of control?

The Locked On Big Ten Squad breaks down why Sorsby’s 9,000 betting violations set off a conference-wide backlash, if conferences—not the NCAA—hold the real power, and how coaches like Joey McGuire are stoking national outrage. Can streamlining rules, stricter enforcement, or a new governing body save the sport? Plus, get bold predictions as FanDuel sets Minnesota’s win total at 6.5—will the Golden Gophers beat expectations this season?

Show notes

Carver-Hawkeye Arena is primed for a transformative renovation, aiming to elevate Iowa Hawkeyes basketball through enhanced fan experiences, modern amenities, and new premium seating. Could these upgrades finally give Iowa the recruiting and game-day boost it needs to compete at the highest level? Trent Condon unpacks the proposed $50–$70 million upgrades, revealing how private suites, club seating, and improved accessibility could shape the arena’s future and potentially shrink overall capacity for a more intimate, high-revenue environment.

Tim Dwight and Travis Gorsh join the show to spotlight the TNT Football Camp, a free opportunity for Iowa youth to develop skills and passion for football. Dwight shares insight on multi-sport athleticism, player development, and the unique mindset required for elite special teams play. The episode explores how former Hawkeyes—like Kaden Wetjen—excel in the return game and the broader impact of giving back to Iowa’s next generation of athletes.

BIG 10 SQUAD: Congress is trying to SAVE College Football | How this impacts Iowa Jun 04, 2026

Show notes

The Big Ten and SEC unite to push back against Congress’s sweeping plan to overhaul college football, setting up a powerful standoff that could reshape the sport’s future. With player compensation, playoff formats, and media rights on the line, can any legislation succeed without college football’s biggest powerhouses on board?

The Big 10 Squad dissects the motives behind congressional intervention in NCAA sports, conference politics, and the relentless pursuit of media power. The crew shifts focus to Wisconsin Badgers football, debating whether Luke Fickell’s squad can clear a six-and-a-half win total and what’s at stake for his job security. Insights on quarterback Colton Joseph, a soft Big Ten schedule, and the looming challenges from Notre Dame and Penn State add fuel to the debate. Is this the season Wisconsin bounces back, or are bigger shakeups ahead for the Badgers?
