  • The Maryland Terps joined the Big Ten 10 years ago this week. Can Oregon, Washington, USC and UCLA learn from their example as they navigate the new world of college football once they join the conference next month?

    TERPS SHOW THE WAY FOR 4 NEW BIG TEN TEAMS

    The Terps took the long road to respectability as Mike Locksley has just posted back to back 8-win seasons. Oregon and USC may scoff at the Maryland 10-year-plan. The Ducks and Trojans want to take the Big Ten by storm right away in the 2024 college football season. Washington is an unknown fresh off its national championship appearance and UCLA may be on a Maryland-type trajectory.

    LAND THOSE RECRUITS

    Meanwhile Big Ten teams are all in on recruiting we will have the latest news out of Michigan as they try to land a trio of offensive players. And Oregon and USC try to go after some big, big offensive lineman. Plus the Ducks get another 5-star player. Oregon has a national top 5 class of recruits for 2025.

    POWER RANKINGS

    Plus it is midweek so it is time for our Power Rankings. Look, we all know Michigan vs Ohio State is the best rivalry in the Big Ten and the country for that matter. But with the addition of 4 new west coast teams they bring their rivalries with them. So we'll look at a recent Power Ranking of the top Big Ten college football rivalries and whether we agree or disagree with the list on Locked on Big 10 with Craig Shemon.

  • As the sun set on the Pac 12 this weekend and as we get ready for Big Ten college football, let us clear up some confusion. With the Oregon, Washington, USC and UCLA flight from the Pac 12 they still are not quite in the Big Ten - yet. They will be homeless for about a month. Their official start date as full members of the Big Ten Conference begins August 2nd.

    PAC-4

    Until then we look at where each of the four Pac 12 football teams are in their journey to join the Big Ten. Oregon and USC look ready out of the box. Washington is a complete mystery and UCLA has some work to do. We will look at each of them and the most difficult game on each of their college football schedules.

    RECRUITING NEVER ENDS!

    Recruiting is crazy. Keeping up with it is a full time job. We will have updates from Penn State, Ohio State, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Michigan and UCLA just to name a few. There are a lot of wins and losses on the board. Tune in for the latest.

    TWEETS

    Meanwhile, it is Tuesday and that means Tuesday Tweets. By the way, follow us on twitter (or X) on the link below. If we see a tweet of yours and we really like it we will feature it on this podcast on Tuesdays. Meanwhile, tune in to another episode of Locked on Big 10 with Craig Shemon.

  • Ohio State has a new school president and, as of this week, a new athletic director in Ross Bjork. That is a lot of change at a school that just saw A.D. Gene Smith retire after 19 glorious years at the helm of one of the most successful athletic departments and college football programs in the country.

    YOU ARE FIRED

    Gene Smith hired Ryan Day to replace Urban Meyer as the Ohio State Football coach. Ross Bjork, while at Texas A&M, just fired football coach Jimbo Fisher despite the fact that the school still owed him more than 75 million dollars. He is now fully in charge of the Buckeyes athletic department. And new guys in big jobs like to make big changes!

    That alone should make Ryan Day uneasy should he lose to TTUN for a 4th straight year. It would be unfair. Ryan Day is a winning football coach and his 2024 team has a real shot at a national championship. But if he falls short of some very lofty expectations then look out!

    RECRUITING TRAIL

    We still have a keen eye on the college football, and more specifically, Big Ten football recruiting trail. We have news from Michigan, Oregon, Nebraska, Penn State and Maryland just to name a few.

    Plus we have our Top Ten Big Ten observations from the weekend. It is all right here on Locked on Big 10 with Craig Shemon.

  • As we zero in on whether Florida State eventually joins an expanded Big Ten Conference in the constantly changing college football environment, we must ponder whether the Seminoles have a better option.

    SHOW US THE MONEY!

    One thing is certain, according to Trustee Chair Peter Collins, Florida State is woefully underpaid for its media rights revenue compared to its perceived value among other college football programs in and out of the ACC. All options are on the table for Florida State and its athletic future but we still think jumping to the Big Ten is their best and most likely option.

    IN OTHER NEWS:

    Elsewhere we were as surprised as anybody when Purdue center Zach Edey went 9th overall to the Memphis Grizzlies in the NBA draft. We were certain he would be a first rounder. But we didn’t think he'd be a top ten pick so congratulations to him!

    Indiana big man Kel'el Ware went 15th to the Miami Heat and the talented Terrance Shannon Jr out of Illinois went 27th to the Minnesota Timberwolves. We think of the three Big Ten players drafted in the first round, Shannon is the most game-ready right now.

    BACK TO FOOTBALL:

    Michigan running backs coach Tony Alford explains why he left Ohio State. Nebraska football loses a quarterback to Purdue and investigators share their findings from looking into the 2023 Northwestern hazing scandal.

    Finally, it is Friday so it is time for our future PigSkin Picks on Locked on Big 10 with Craig Shemon.

  • Here is the latest college football expansion and realignment chatter: Florida State and Clemson continue with their lawsuits vs the ACC with an eye toward jumping to a more lucrative conference like the Big Ten. We believe a settlement is the only way out of this college football mess. However, ACC commissioner Jim Phillips is not going to sit by passively and watch his most prestigious college football teams jump ship to the Big Ten without a fight.

    EXECUTE THE TV DEAL!

    Speaking to the media this week, Phillips said the ACC media rights deal was agreed to and celebrated by all parties involved when signed. He feels the deal should continue to be executed… all the way to its 2036 conclusion. We will share our latest thoughts on all of this

    PENN STATE AND RUTGERS WAY TO GO!

    Penn State football recruiting continues to play "win some and lose some" with some high profile recruits. Overall, 2025 is shaping up nicely. They did, however lose a 4-star player to Rutgers. Have you noticed Rutgers football recruiting?? They have a top ten national class of their own coming in. Greg Schiano has been impressive.

    BREATHE EASY MICHIGAN

    We also check in on a couple of Michigan football commits who took visits elsewhere. One of them was even taking a look a rival Michigan State and that got a lot of people's attention. But it looks like the Wolverines can rest easy for now.

    CLASSICS

    Finally, we look ahead to the last weekend of June with our preview of the Big Ten Network's Big Ten Classics on Craig Shemon's Locked on Big 10.

  • As if Ohio State football coach Ryan Day was not already under enough pressure going into the 2024 college football season. But a strong compliment from his predecessor Urban Meyer turned the pressure up a notch. As we discussed last week on Locked on Big 10, Meyer, who is now an analyst for FOX Sports, says the Ohio State football roster is the best college football has seen in ten years… or maybe ever!

    WIN OR BUST!

    A statement like that means win it all or be considered a failure. Even before the comments from Meyer, it seemed Ryan Day and the Ohio State Buckeyes football team were expected to win it all this season.

    Beyond this college football season the Ohio State Buckeyes already own the top rated recruiting class in 2025. And they just added to it big time. Find out who they received a commitment from as the rich get richer!

    WIN SOME; LOSE SOME

    Penn State football recruiting has had an up and down couple of weeks. But mostly up. They received major commitments from both sides of the ball. Hey, you win some and you lose some.

    And Nebraska is doing some last minute shopping for their running game. Find out who is already enrolled on campus and ready to go in 2024!

    MASCOTS

    We have all of that and more plus our weekly Power Rankings look at all 18 (16 actually) mascots in the Big Ten on Locked on Big 10 with Craig Shemon.

  • Is USC football coach Lincoln Riley on the Hot Seat in 2024? Or is it just lukewarm? Some are suggesting this is a make or break year for Riley and USC football. He just got there and his QB won a Heisman!

    CRAZY TALK, RIGHT?

    It sounds crazy but crazier things have happened in college football. We will explore the pros and cons of where Lincoln Riley and his college football program are right now. And we are still surprised he left the comfy confines of Oklahoma where he became a bit of a Heisman quarterback whisperer. Then he followed that up by coaching Caleb Williams to a Heisman trophy in his first year at Troy. But a 19-8 record over two years has some people getting itchy. We will tell you who and what we think about them.

    SIGN ME UP!

    Recruiting season is in full swing and we may have an epic battle off the field between Penn State and Maryland for the best wide receiver in the state of Maryland. Which way will this go? A big announcement is coming Friday.

    This has been a good week for the Iowa Hawkeyes and Indiana Hoosiers football programs this week in the latest recruiting news. We will tell you why. And Northwestern unveiled the latest $800 million dollar version of Ryan Field and it looks spectacular.

    TWEETS

    Finally, we close things out with Tuesday Tweets. Tune in and see if yours made the list. It is all right here on Locked on Big 10 with Craig Shemon.

  • Is the NCAA punishment for the Michigan football Spy-Gate scandal coming soon? Reading the college football tea leaves would suggest something is coming within a couple weeks. However, if the punishment is anything like the slap on the wrist the Wolverines agreed to for Burger-Gate, then this could be a light sentence as well. Of course, former head coach Jim Harbaugh is long gone and we are sure Michigan would like to see this saga wrap up and go away.

    GOOD NEWS IOWA!

    Meanwhile there is some great news for Iowa Hawkeyes fans. Quarterback Cade McNamara just got the green light to play ball as he is coming off his season ending knee injury from last season. In the meantime, the Hawkeyes landed an insurance policy with Northwestern transfer QB Brendan Sullivan. However, Iowa football coach Kirk Ferentz insists if McNamara is healthy then he will be the starter.

    BADGER BALL!

    Wisconsin football coach Luke Fickell was talking quarterbacks too. He says he is leaning toward Miami transfer Tyler Van Dyke over Braedyn Locke. We are not so sure! We give our reasons here. Here's a hint: Van Dyke was VERY inconsistent at Miami and Locke showed a lot of poise and talent filling in last year.

    HUSKERS QB

    And Matt Rhule says the Nebraska Huskers have a three-way battle for QB. Let's cut to the chase and say: Dylan Raiola!

    TOP 10

    Finally, we post our Top Ten Big Ten thoughts over the weekend right here on Locked on Big 10 with Craig Shemon.

  • We will explore the top 4 most vital Big Ten football hires heading into the 2024 college football season. They are all coordinators. Sure, head coaches, quarterbacks, transfer portal kids and recruits are all a big deal. But offensive and defensive coordinators are the hands-on guys that make everything go on Saturdays.

    TOP 4

    Our list includes Ohio State football offensive coordinator Chip Kelly, Michigan football defensive coordinator Wink Martindale, Iowa football offensive coordinator Tim Lester and Penn State football offensive coordinator Andy Kotelnicki. These guys are absolutely pivotal in their respective team's success during the 2024 Big Ten college football season.

    HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

    Plus, Locked on Big 10 would like to take a moment and say THANK YOU for all of your support over the past year. While this podcast channel has existed for a few years, Craig Shemon took over as its new host one year ago today.

    Our growth and support has been unbelievable! And we can not wait for what will surely be the most exciting Big Ten college football season ever! We will take a look at the numbers over the past year. We will add up how many of you tuned in. And we will look back at our top 10 podcasts of the year.

  • Michigan football coordinator Kirk Campbell says the Wolverines offense will be explosive in 2024. The college football hype machine is underway. We have used a lot of impressive words to describe Michigan football recently. But "explosive" is not one of them. They like more of a dominating ground and pound approach to winning football games. So what did Campbell mean? We think we have the answer right here so tune in!

    URBAN IMPRESSED WITH BUCKEYES

    Meanwhile, former Ohio State football coach Urban Meyer says the current Buckeyes roster is the most loaded roster college football has seen in a decade. And maybe all-time! They had a great roster to begin with but then Ryan Day dialed in the transfer portal for some big additions. So much so that his former boss noticed.

    MORE FLIGHTS

    Speaking of the Buckeyes we think the biggest game on their schedule might not be vs TTUN. It might be at Oregon in October. In fact, at least one major airline keeps adding flights from Ohio to Oregon.

    CLASSICS

    We have more recruiting news out of USC and Indiana. The Trojans lost two big commits this week. The Hoosiers had an up and down week. Plus we look ahead to the Big Ten Network and their Big Ten Classics on TV this weekend. So cool off and check us out on Locked on Big 10 with Craig Shemon.

  • Luke Fickell and the Wisconsin Badgers have big plans for the 2024 college football season and for the second straight year he will rely on a transfer portal quarterback. Last year it was Tanner Mordecai and this year it will be Tyler Van Dyke from the Miami Hurricanes.

    RECRUIT A QUARTERBACK PLEASE!

    What about recruiting a quarterback suited for Fickell and his air-raid offense? Recruiting has gone really well at Wisconsin except at quarterback. Each year he has landed a mid level QB but he really needs a high end QB who can throw the ball all over the yard.

    We actually feel Fickell and the Badgers football team may have their weapon at quarterback in house and we have not even mentioned him yet. Tune in to find out who we are talking about at Locked on Big 10.

    FUTURE MICHIGAN QUARTERBACK

    There is recruiting news. Michigan football landed a 4 star QB for 2026. Michigan State is trying to flip a Wolverine commit and the Gophers get a big receiver. Plus the Ohio State Buckeyes made a curious change to their 2025 college football schedule.

    POWER RANKINGS

    Finally, we list our weekly Power Rankings and list all of the Big Ten football teams in order of who has the most Associated Press #1 rankings all time. See where your favorite team comes in at Locked on Big 10 with Craig Shemon.

    #collegefootball #BigTen #bigtenfootball #WisconsinFootball #Badgers #LukeFickell #Fickell #Recruiting

  • The time has come for Notre Dame to join the Big Ten and step in line with the rest of college football. Stop pretending there is something special about remaining a college football Independent. The Notre Dame NBC TV deal pales in comparison to what other Big Ten football schools are getting and the fact that both Notre Dame and Big Ten football have contracts with NBC should make the Irish re-evaluate the college football broadcast landscape.

    NOTRE DAME AND BIG TEN MAKES SENSE!

    Plus, as Locked on Big 10 has long asserted, the fact that every Power school, including Notre Dame, is going to pony up an extra $20 million dollars a year for revenue sharing, seeking higher revenues from a home conference is a must! Notre Dame football finds itself in a similar situation as Florida State and Clemson who are earning far less than their market value on their broadcast deals. At least the Fighting Irish don’t have a $130 million dollar conference exit fee!

    In the end, the talk about Notre Dame joining the Big Ten or any other conference is growing louder out of financial necessity.

    RECRUITING HOTBED!

    College football recruiting is hot right now and we will keep you up to date on all the latest from teams like Wisconsin, Ohio State, Michigan State, and Rutgers who continue to kill it!

    TWEETS

    And finally, we take a look at Tuesday Tweets. Follow us on Twitter (SEE BELOW) and maybe, just maybe we will post your tweet on Tuesdays. It's all right here on Locked on Big 10 with Craig Shemon.

  • History says the Oregon Ducks football team has the best chance out of every Big Ten team to win the college football national championship. What about Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, or USC just to name a few? Well, according to history from the last ten college football national champions those schools are lacking some important metrics. But not the Oregon football team. Dan Lanning and his team are sitting pretty and we will tell you how and why.

    ANOTHER DEJEAN?

    Remember Cooper DeJean, the All-American defensive back and special teamer from the Iowa Hawkeyes? Of course you do! He is in the NFL now but he has a brother who is just as dynamic and the Iowa Hawkeyes have already offered Jaxx DeJean a scholarship! But Hawkeyes football fans will have to wait because he is just a sophomore in high school.

    RECRUITS

    Elsewhere Michigan State landed another quarterback and he is a borderline 4-star player. Plus the Indiana Hoosiers received a commitment from a 5-star kicker at nearby Bloomington South High School.

    HEISMAN TALK

    Finally, in our picks/odds segment we take an early look at the top 20 Heisman Trophy odds. And only 4 are from the Big Ten and 2 of the 4 are from the same team. Find out which team that might be right here on Locked on Big 10 with Craig Shemon.

  • The Ohio State Buckeyes quarterback room is the deepest in the Big Ten and possibly college football. So what is going on? 5 star freshman QB Air Noland reportedly left the program briefly. Or just left campus. Did the Buckeye's QB room get too crowded? Did he consider transferring elsewhere? Was he homesick? What ever the reason for his departure he is back in Columbus now.

    BUCKEYES QUARTERBACK ROOM IS FINE

    Noland's father says he received 45 phone calls from people wondering what was going on. He also said there is nothing to see here. There is nothing to say. His son is back on campus and everything is cool.

    We have more Big Ten college football recruiting news. Things are heating up. Penn State lost another target. We will tell you who. But former QB Trace McSorley was in Happy Valley working with QB's.

    RECRUITING ON FIRE!

    There is some good news at Michigan State and Wisconsin. And have you been paying attention to Rutgers football? Greg Schiano locked up another 4 star recruit. Rutgers class of 2025 is top 5 right now and college football is noticing.

    Finally, we look ahead to the weekend and Big Ten Classics on the Big Ten Network. Stay out of the heat this Father's Day weekend and relive some of your favorite Big Ten sporting events. It is all here on Locked on Big 10 with Craig Shemon.

  • Will the 2024 Michigan football team be better than the 2023 team that went undefeated and won the college football national championship? Without Jim Harbaugh? Without JJ McCarthy? Maybe. There seems to be a lot of excitement in Ann Arbor these days.

    MICHIGAN FOOTBALL BETTER?

    Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore is bullish on this year's Wolverines team and he is very excited for the upcoming college football season. He is particularly very high on this year's crop of linebackers who will be replacing current NFL players.

    And the Michigan offensive line has been the best in college football for the past several years. And while most of the line will be new in 2024, it will be full of ready-to-go upper classman. If the success of the 2023 Michigan football team was based on a strong running game and great defense, expect Moore and company to double down on that philosophy.

    RECRUITING HITS AND MISSES

    In our daily look at Big Ten recruiting there are some hits and misses for Penn State football and some excitement at Indiana and Minnesota. In fact, Minnesota football ranks in the top 20 nationally with its present class of 2025 recruits.

    POWER RANKINGS

    Finally, in our weekly Power Rankings we scrutinize a major publication's top ten ranking for loudest college football stadiums around the country. How many Big Ten football stadiums made the list? Find out right here on Locked on Big 10 with Craig Shemon.

    #michiganfootball #CollegeFootball #BigTen #BigTenFootball

  • More college football expansion talk: Is Florida State Athletic Director Michael Alford using the Big Ten as leverage to get a better deal to remain in the ACC? Or does FSU still want out of the ACC at all costs and therefore position the Seminoles for an upgrade to the Big Ten Conference? We will explore the numerous options and lay out some key dates coming soon.

    WE THINK FSU WILL…

    We still think the latter is the preferred destination, however anything and everything is on the table at this point. Afterall, we are talking about more than a half billion dollars at stake. We will run through the numerous options for schools like Florida State, Clemson and numerous other ACC schools that might be interested in joining the expansion Big Ten and be major forces in college football realignment.

    RECRUITING IN FULL SWING

    Current Big Ten football schools are in full swing for recruiting the class of 2025. More major news at Michigan, Nebraska, Rutgers and Indiana is all right here. Plus, we have evidence that spending millions of dollars on facilities seems to help recruiting. Everyone, though, seems to be playing catchup to the Ohio State Buckeyes as Ryan Day and company have the consensus number one recruiting class in the country.

    TWEETS

    Finally, we like to land Tuesday's show with Tuesday Tweets. Maybe one of your Tweets on X made it to the show. Tune in and find out with the latest podcast on Locked on Big 10 with Craig Shemon.

  • Team USA Basketball snubbed ex-Iowa Hawkeyes star Caitlin Clark and reportedly omitted her from the Olympic basketball team roster. The Olympics are this summer in Paris. Why would you leave the most popular player on earth off of the team? This is one of the dumbest moves in the history of the Olympics! We will tell you why right here.

    PETTY JEALOUSY!

    The WNBA old guard doesn’t like the attention the Indiana Fever rookie is getting these days. They feel they need to keep her in her place for now. They feel like they need to show her who is boss. It is very similar to the 1992 Men's Dream Team when Michael Jordan did not want Isiah Thomas on the roster. The two had a heated rivalry on the court and disliked each other.

    THIS IS A PROBLEM

    The problem with the WNBA old guard is that nobody watched them on TV. Nobody went to their games. And nobody bought their merchandise. Caitlin Clark singlehanded changed all of that in less than a month.

    The USA basketball selection committee is making a grave mistake by leaving Clark off of the team. The official roster may be announced Tuesday. Hopefully all of the outcry will wake them up and they will correct this horrible mistake.

    TOP TEN

    Before we go we also have some exciting college football recruiting news for the Ohio State football team. Plus we have our Top Ten Big Ten observations from the weekend. So tune in for the latest episode of Locked on Big 10 with Craig Shemon.

    #CaitlinClark #Caitlin #TeamUSA #Olympics #Hawkeyes #Iowa #OhioStateFootball #Buckeyes #indianafever

  • Iowa football was the ultimate over-achiever last season. With an anemic offense and great defensive and special teams play, Kirk Ferentz and his Hawkeyes earned 10 wins and a trip to the Big Ten Championship. They amazed the college football world in 2023.

    MORE OF THE SAME?

    What about the Iowa Hawkeyes offense in 2024? Will their historically bad offense be better or worse than 2023? To be honest it looks like rinse and repeat again this season even though they have a new offensive coordinator in Tim Lester.

    HAWKEYES HOPE?

    However there is some hope because it looks like the defense will be really, really good despite the loss of Cooper DeJean to the NFL. That might be good enough to get some college football wins in the Big Ten.

    In Buckeyes news, you can watch Ohio State football practice in style this summer. But it will cost you $50! We have all of the details here. Plus we have more recruiting news around the Big Ten.

    Hey Wisconsin Badgers fans! What is former head coach Paul Chryst up to these days? He was at Texas as an offensive analyst but he is not there anymore. We will let you know what is going on there!

    PIGSKIN PICKS?

    And we have our first week of college football PigSkin Picks for you to consider. After all, the season is right around the corner. Tune in to Locked on Big 10 with Craig Shemon.

    #collegefootball #IowaFootball #Ferentz #Lester #BigTen #BigTenFootball

  • Other than Ohio State, Oregon and Penn State who are some Big Ten Football Dark Horses who could win the Conference this season? We came up with a list of 5 teams to discuss. Surely this will create a lot of college football debate.

    OSU, UO, PSU… VS EVERYBODY ELSE?

    Locked on Big 10 is on the record with Ohio State and Oregon as our picks to be in the Big Ten Championship. And we spent a great deal of time in yesterday's podcast talking about how Penn State is probably a college football playoff team. So what about the rest? We will explain each team's chances on our list. And it is only June!

    HE IS A GIANT

    Also, the recruiting wars are on! Nebraska coach Matt Rule just offered a full ride to a 6 foot 7 inch giant who has not played organized football in two years! Plus he added a running back to possibly run behind him. And Greg Schiano is killing it in Piscataway! During this past recruiting weekend he closed 10 kids to commit on the spot! This brings his recruiting class to 18 kids. Not only that, but all 18 are 3-star players. That is a strong weekend of work.

    TV TIME!

    We also learned the actual kickoff times and TV networks for the newly expanded college football playoffs. If you are on the east coast you will love the kickoff times, especially for the college football national championship.

    Speaking of TV, we look ahead to the weekend for the Big Ten Classics on the Big Ten Network. Check it all out here on Locked on Big 10 with Craig Shemon.

    #collegefootball #BigTen #BigTenFootball #Darkhorses

  • Penn State football coach James Franklin has ten years under his belt at Happy Valley. He won one Big Ten title but has not made it to the college football playoff. But this year the college football playoff expands from 4 to 12 teams. Penn State, almost always ranked in the top 12 under Franklin, should benefit from this expansion more than any other team. But this may also place James Franklin under extreme job pressure.

    IT IS ABOUT THE MATH

    Let's say three Big Ten teams get into the newly expanded college football playoffs. Ohio State, Oregon, USC, Michigan and Penn State are all viable options. But that means two of those 5 won't get in.

    JAMES FRANKLIN HONEYMOON OVER?

    Can Penn State football fans handle a James Franklin team being good, but finishing just outside of the playoffs again? We are not so sure. Penn State fans and alumni have lofty expectations.

    Speaking of Penn State, the school is renovating Beaver Stadium to the tune of $700 million dollars. School officials promise the site will be used for more than just 7 or 8 football games every year. They plan to use it as a year round business and entertainment hub that could actually turn a profit.

    POWER RANKINGS

    It is never to early to look at, or create our own, preseason Big Ten basketball power rankings. So that is exactly what we will do today for our mid-week Power Rankings on Locked on Big 10 with Craig Shemon. Tune in!
