Exactly 8 years ago today my then 9-year old daughter ❤️ made her national TV debut, recognizing Northwestern & @coachfitz51 & also dropping a #karma reference on a former SEC coach youtu.be/s-1v45J61ZQ

Indiana's Curt Cignetti (on dropping Virginia home/home series): "We figure we'd adopt an SEC scheduling philosophy" & mentions how many SEC teams play FCS teams & that SEC only plays 8 league games

Differing opinions on state of college athletics Rutgers' Greg Schiano: "I think college football is in a great place" SEC's Greg Sankey: "College athletics is not broken, it's under stress" West Virginia coach Rich Rodriguez: "It's a cluster"

Big Ten's Tony Petitti: "If you're 6-3 in the Big Ten, I would argue that's a good record. If you stumble in the non-conference I don't know why that would disqualify you (from playoff contention)"

Indiana's Curt Cignetti says he's "adopting an SEC scheduling philosophy" Indiana's non-league games 2025: ODU, Kennesaw St, Indiana State 2026: Colorado St, WKU 2027: Kennesaw State, Indiana St, UMass 2028: Austin Peay, E. Michigan 2029: Ball State, E. Illinois, WKU

Ryan Day told @On3sports he supports the Big Ten's push for AQs in the College Football Playoff. "We should have four automatic qualifiers from the jump because we have 18 teams, we added those four teams from the Pac-12 and we play nine games." More: on3.com/news/ryan-day-…

Ohio State's Ryan Day said offense won't change w/Brian Hartline taking over OC after Chip Kelly left: "It will be very similar. We've tried to keep offense same over these 9 years. Chip brought in his own ideas, but we tried to keep the offense, the offense"

Nebraska's Matt Rhule (on losing 5 games by 8 points or less last year): "We lost a lot of those games because we weren't just good enough. Our focus is improving as a team"

Nebraska's Matt Rhule on taking over Huskers in 2023: "We knew it would take a little bit of time to fix."

Maryland's Mike Locksley said Terps have sign outside locker room that says: "You can leave your 'Louis' belts, your car keys & your financial statements outside those doors"

Maryland's Mike Locksley on last year's 4-8 record: "Coach Locks lost his locker room. We had haves & have nots for 1st time. The landscape of college football taught me a valuable lesson. If I have to put my desk in the locker room, I will"

Indiana's Curt Cignetti: "We need to standardize the schedules across the board. We need to take the decision making off the committee to some degree"

Former East Carolina QB Shane Carden, WR Justin Hardy & WR/KR Dwayne Harris among 6 individuals named to East Carolina's Athletics Hall of Fame

Indiana's Curt Cigneeti: "We're not looking to sustain (last year's success), we're looking to improve it"

Indiana's Curt Cignetti: "126 years of Indiana football (last year). Best season. No. 1 out of 126"

Illinois' Bret Bielema on College Football Playoff: "It's at 12 teams, I hope it goes to 16. I'm not gonna go (Eli) Drinkwitz & go to 30 (teams)" but says he favors more teams in playoff

Illinois' Bret Bielema: "Holy shit, the world has changed"

Six Big Ten teams do not play any non-conference power teams this season: Indiana, Northwestern, Maryland, Penn State, Rutgers & Washington. Yes, I know, they all play 9 Big Ten league games

Big Ten’s Tony Petitti asked about Indiana’s schedule last year. He mentions they played 2 B1G teams in last year’s title game (Michigan & Washington), but doesn’t mention a non-conference schedule of FIU, Western Illinois & Charlotte
