A report from Sports Illustrated argues that UNLV’s nonconference football matchup with UCLA could be an audition of sorts to try and get into the Big Ten.
The Pac-12 should covet the Rebels and they should want to join—but the Big 10 is a bridge WAY too far.
On today’s episode of Locked On College Football, Spencer McLaughlin is joined by ‘Locked On Irish’ host Tyler Wojciak to discuss how Notre Dame will try to rebound in 2025 after their national title loss.
How much harder is it without DC Al Golden, who’s taken the same job with the Bengals? (9:12)
Spencer is also joined by SPECIAL GUEST Dan Furman, President of Louisville’s NIL collective.
The Cardinals look very sustainable under Jeff Brohm, and their willingness to adapt to NIL has been a part of that success. (19:26)
