Big Ten 2025 Schedules

Looks like Illinois may have gotten the most favorable and Wisconsin is probably the most brutal. IUFB has three tough conference games out of the gate. 

 

 

Winning that home game against Illinois would be huge. They aren't world beaters but they are always a solid 8/9 win team. Given this year I'd be happy with 8/9 wins next year. @Oregon, @Iowa, and @Penn State is tough.

Heck, we may have gotten lucky on the draw.  Oregon and Penn State will likely lose lots of players to the NFL.  Here is hoping that they don't excel like this year.

Kind of like what happened to Michigan and Washington.  We took advantage of that.

Again please.

I see no scenario where this is successful. Dude will be 72 before he coaches a game there. And if they committed to Steve as an heir apparent, Jesus, what are they doing?

Now back that age discrimination thingy up, youngster. /s

I am older than that and I have at least 6 good months left.  I could coach the Hoosiers basketball team just as well as 1/3 of the posters on this site.  Maybe.

And that 5 million might help buy some tshatshke.  Or a 31-year-old bride.   

Naw, don't need two of them.

I have zero idea if this will work, but I think having guys like Deion and Belichick in college makes it better for the sport. I thought WVU was the best job of the P4 schools simply because they have the best path to get to their conference title game. The question is can Bill put UNC on the same level as Clemson, Miami, FSU, and now a school like SMU?

I'm confident he can pull off the level of this year's FSU.

Lol... it's right before the legislative session expires and has no method to move it through committee. Moreover... a felony! Lololol. 

A solid job of trolling by the State Rep.

Pfft.

 

Snowflakes.

Multiple outlets reporting Belichick to UNC is a done deal. 

He's gonna lose it the moment he heads to Cook-Out and sees that Assyrian tablet of a menu.

I am truly shocked that Paul Finebaum would think Georgia will win the championship. Shocked, I say.

Their starting QB is out? Irrelevant. They won the SEC championship so they're obviously the best team in the nation. Probably among the best ever.

Choice between them and the Super Bowl winner? Georgia, without hesitation.

Favorite part was “Lincoln Riley, Bill Belichick”. One a massive disappointment and another is a guy who couldn’t get a job in the NFL because he was 41-55 before Tom Brady and 29-38 after Tom Brady.

Sure, but under today’s rules, Tom Brady can transfer to North Carolina and have two years of eligibility left.

I realize everyone is aware of the ridiculous Stubhub fees but here is a real life example.

IU at ND, section 125, row 4 seats  are $1,166 each.

 Including fees, however, they are $1,576 each.

$410 in fees to electronically issue a ticket !!!!

 

Section 125 tickets are now available for $800 including fees. Still expensive but they have dropped from $1,576 (almost 800 buck drop) in three days.  

Bet they will continue to drop as out of state season ticket holder realize they won’t be able to “ring the bell $$$$” to the extent they initially thought. Hopefully it gets to the point where a number of Hoosiers are in attendance.

I saw Seat Geek has several ~$550 tickets in the lower sections
