Podcasts about big ten

After months (years?) of speculation, 5-star running back David Gabriel Georges will announce his decision today. Most insiders feel that Tennessee will be his choice, but could DGG pull a surprise announcement and select Ohio State?Also, The Athletic did its yearly college football quarterback rankings, and OSU's Julian Sayin came in at No. 5. Does that sound about right? Who were the four QBs ranked ahead of him? Where did the other Big Ten quarterbacks land on the list?Dave Biddle and Matt Baxendell discuss that and much more on the Wednesday 5ish.

Diving into LeDrama before Connor and Mike determine who would be the most interesting figures in the conference to have a conversation with.

Steven Kwan's hot July has Ken and Lima rethinking earlier doubts about paying him long-term, with his average climbing from .206 to .239 while playing some of the best baseball on the team. The conversation shifts to the wave of ESPN layoffs, including Ryan Clark and Cam Newton, and the hosts push back on fans and rivals openly celebrating people losing their jobs. They close out with a look at the World Cup's record US viewership numbers and why they don't buy the idea that the Big Ten and SEC will ever break away into their own league.

Could the SEC actually break away from the NCAA? On this episode of Last Call, Mick Gillispie and former Alabama national championship quarterback Jake Coker react to Greg Sankey's eye-opening comments from SEC Media Days and discuss why college football's lack of leadership, inconsistent NIL rules and massive financial disparities could eventually lead to a new super-league. The guys examine how a potential SEC and Big Ten breakaway could reshape college football, whether programs like Clemson and Florida State could eventually join the SEC, and why the current system cannot regulate Alabama, Texas, Ohio State and Michigan the same way it regulates smaller athletic departments. Jake also revisits the legendary feud between Nick Saban and Jimbo Fisher, revealing how personally Fisher took Saban's comments about Texas A&M recruiting. With NIL spending now becoming the standard across college football, does Jimbo's furious response look even worse in hindsight? The conversation then turns to the culture Nick Saban built at Alabama. Jake shares inside stories about the player-led leadership of Jarran Reed, Jonathan Allen, A'Shawn Robinson, Ryan Anderson and other Crimson Tide stars—including how Scott Cochran reportedly broke a second-place trophy to reinforce Alabama's championship-or-bust mentality. Can that type of culture still exist in the transfer portal and NIL era? Plus, Alabama was picked to finish a stunning seventh in the SEC preseason poll. Are Kalen DeBoer and the Crimson Tide being overlooked? Jake breaks down Ryan Grubb's quarterback development, Alabama's loaded QB room, Kane Wommack's defense, concerns about the offensive line and running game, and why the Tide could once again use preseason disrespect as motivation. And, of course, Jake and Mick debate what truly qualifies someone as a “redneck,” complete with stories about Jimbo Fisher, hunting, giant bucks and turkey heads.

Connor and Mike react to the Missouri football coach criticizing the superior Big Ten conference over their scheduling.

The show breaks down the Guardians' 13-4 blowout of the Twins, a seven-homer outburst including two from Rhys Hoskins, sparking a debate between Ken and producer John over whether one big game actually "redeems" a player who's still hitting under .200 for the season. The conversation shifts to Ryan Clark's on-air firing from ESPN, with the hosts calling the timing classless and debating whether an old comment about non-players not deserving a voice in sports media contributed to the fallout. They also dig into SEC commissioner Greg Sankey's comments about a possible breakaway from the NCAA, with Ken relishing the idea of the SEC losing ground to the Big Ten. The segment ends with a reflective moment on whether years of NIL and playoff expansion have made college football harder to love.

There's a quote in psychology I keep coming back to: the core of optimism is resilience. I've thought about that quote for years, and this week, sitting across from Rutgers head coach Greg Schiano, I had a hunch that that very quote would resonate with him. So I did the only thing I do in these Y-Option podcasts: ask questions I don't know the answer to.I've known Coach Schiano for over 20 years. First as a wideout at Pitt, then these last couple years covering Big Ten football. This conversation, though, was different because I was embedded within the Scarlet Knights program for the day and what a day it was.I got to sit in on his team meeting, watch Coach Schiano look his players in the eyes and bridge a football lesson to a life lesson in the same breath. And at the end of an epic day with the team, staff and program he and I sat down, and Coach Schiano took me all the way back to where his leadership began: his kitchen table. And that is where today's Y-Option podcast, fueled by our founding sponsor 76, keeping you on the GO GO GO, begins.Coach Schiano grew up in an Italian household in Paterson, New Jersey, where his parents taught him and his three siblings one thing above all: you get up, you go to work, and some days it isn't pleasant but you keep showing up. The standard, even before it was ever spoken, was simple — no matter what, protect your family.That's not a throwaway line for him. It's the whole building now. “Family is everything to me in this building,” he said. And he means it literally, as he's now recruiting the sons of players he coached at Rutgers when they were in the Big East while currently coaching with his own three sons on this year's staff. Full circle doesn't begin to cover it.This is the line that stuck with me most: “You can have a goal and at the same time have a purpose.” Greg's goal is a national championship at Rutgers. His purpose is different.He is driven to make sure that the young men who walk into the Rutgers program leave as grown men. Husbands. Fathers. People who can figure it out when nobody's telling them what to do next. In this era of players getting paid, transferring and being told things from others that may not be accurate I have to say that watching Coach Schiano teach his players the realities of LIFE and how football can teach all of us how to navigate life was one of the most refreshing parts of my off-season.He didn't plan on coaching, by the way. He got cut playing in the CFL, came home, signed up for the LSAT, and was on his way to law school when his high school coach — practically a second father to him — talked him into helping out on the sideline instead. That coach later “fired” him, on purpose, so Greg would go be a graduate assistant and learn the business the right way. That GA year? 1989. At Rutgers. Where he told me, without blinking, that even back then, he was building his coaching staff for this program in his head.Chop.If you've followed this program at all, you know the word. Here's where it actually comes from: 1999, Miami, a sports psychologist named Dr. Kevin Elko telling the staff a story about a guy in the woods with nothing but an axe. It sat dormant for six years. Then in 2005, Rutgers blew a 28-7 fourth quarter lead at Illinois and lost in overtime. Greg couldn't sleep on the flight home. He remembered the story, upon landing he sent a GA to Home Depot for an axe, had it painted red, and walked it into the team meeting still wet with paint. We're all in the woods. We can lay down, or we pick a tree and chop until it falls. Rutgers went on a run and made a bowl game. The axe, and the word, never left.Finally, Rutgers has both hands free.For most of his 18 years split across two stints as head coach, Coach Schiano described competing “with one arm tied behind his back.” That's changing. He talked about vertical alignment: from president to athletic director to head coach, all pointed at the same goal, for the first time in his tenure. It's showing up in real terms: Rutgers retained all three of their must-keep players this offseason, including a receiver who very nearly left before Greg reminded him who he was and where he was from. “You're a difference maker. You're gonna leave a legacy,” he told him. He stayed. That conversation with KJ Duff is coming up later this week so be sure to subscribe to our YouTube page.We also talked about his three coaching trees and biggest influences: Joe Paterno at Penn State, Dave Wannstedt and Butch Davis out of the Jimmy Johnson lineage at Miami and Chicago, Dick Anderson at Rutgers. We talked about Pete Carroll and impact of our book, Win Forever, and the sabbatical Greg took in 2014 that reshaped how he leads now. Demanding, but flexible enough to let a coach leave for four hours for his daughter's recital. And we talked about his three sons, all working in the building, all grinding it out the long way.He just turned 60. Says he feels 30. And when I asked him about the word “legacy” landing on him after everything he's built here, he wouldn't take it yet. “I'm only comfortable with it because we haven't started yet,” he said. “The best times for Rutgers football are ahead of us.”I believe it.Much love and stay steady,YogiY-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth is a reader-supported publication.

In this episode, Zach Shaw and Alejandro Zuniga break down the news that Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel will step down at the end of the calendar year after more than a decade leading the University's athletic department.They open with a look at the timing of the news, which came after a week of outside speculation that Michigan's investigation into the athletic department's culture had found Manuel culpable. They discuss Michigan releasing an abbreviated outline of the findings, and why it's time for Manuel to step down, regardless of the results of this specific investigation. They then pivot to look at Manuel's tenure with Michigan, which began in 2016. They discuss both the high amount of scandals and championships under Manuel's watch, including multiple NCAA investigations, 80 Big Ten titles and national titles in both football and men's basketball. They close with a look at what Michigan should look for in its next athletic director, and how the University should balance the financial and traditional component of the athletic director role.

The latest Five Heart Podcast covered Nebraska recruiting, transfer portal news, Michigan's ongoing controversies, and a lighthearted Big Ten-themed music challenge. The hosts opened by celebrating 2027 quarterback commit Trae Taylor's rise to five-star status, praising both his Elite 11 performance and his dedication to recruiting future Huskers. They also discussed Nebraska adding running back Tikey Hayes, viewing the transfer as valuable depth for the backfield while acknowledging the uncertainty surrounding Mekhi Nelson's availability.The emotional centerpiece of the show was the return of site founder Jon Johnston following his recent stroke. Johnston shared the story of suffering the medical emergency while visiting Las Vegas, undergoing an emergency thrombectomy, and beginning a challenging rehabilitation process. Despite lingering fatigue and speech difficulties, he maintained his trademark humor, describing surreal hospital experiences, discussing his recovery, and expressing optimism about making occasional appearances on future live shows. The hosts warmly welcomed him back and encouraged listeners with his positive attitude and determination.Later, the panel debated Michigan's latest off-field issues before transitioning into a fun segment pairing every Big Ten football program with a song reflecting its personality. The creative exercise produced humorous comparisons, nostalgic music references, and spirited discussion, culminating with each host selecting a song for Nebraska that reflected the program's proud history, frustrating recent struggles, and enduring optimism. The episode concluded with appreciation for the fan community and the traditional “Go Big Red” signoff.

Eddie Ramirez took an unconventional route into strength and conditioning. He spent his teenage years and early twenties as a competitive breakdancer before a friend showed him that college strength coaching was even a career path. Internships at Syracuse and Texas followed, and by the time he wrapped his stint with Texas football in 2019, he knew this was what he wanted to do for good.Now in his fourth year at Indiana University, Ramirez works with volleyball, men's and women's swimming and diving, and men's golf. Volleyball has been his primary focus, and he's been direct with his athletes from day one. Competing with programs like Wisconsin, Purdue, and Nebraska, teams that lean on deep talent pools, meant Indiana needed something else to close the gap. Ramirez calls it grit, and he builds it by refusing to sugarcoat hard training while staying honest with his athletes about his own tough stretches.That same directness shapes how he works with the program's international athletes. Rather than expecting them to adjust to a new sport system and a new country on the same timeline as everyone else, Ramirez has taught himself greetings and coaching cues in his athletes' native languages, including Russian and Turkish, to shorten the adjustment period and build trust early.Key Takeaways- Competing with programs that out-talent you requires a deliberate culture decision, not just harder workouts. Ramirez tells his volleyball team upfront that training will be uncomfortable, and backs it up by being vulnerable about his own hard moments.- International athletes are managing two adjustments at once: a new training system and a new country. Ramirez shortens that gap by learning basic phrases and coaching cues in their language.- Skill progression should be athlete-paced, not calendar-paced. If a full clean takes a year to teach safely, that's the timeline he uses.- His own path into the field was nontraditional. Five years as a competitive breakdancer came before he even knew college strength and conditioning existed as a job.- He's actively working to close a skill gap this year: getting sharper with GPS and data tracking through Catapult.Quote Block"It's not because I hate you guys or think you're out of shape. We've got to have a little extra when we're competing against these big-name teams."- Eddie Ramirez, Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach, Indiana University
